Toshiba HD-A3 HD DVD Player $169 on Black Friday?

[BoSoxMole]

I really want to get my Dad some kind of HD player (either BR or HD-DVD). However, I don't want to get him an HD-DVD player because I would then support a format that I don't want to win. But, a BR player is WAY out of my budget right now.

So it looks like I'm going to get him an upconverting player. I just wish I didn't sell my UPC Samsung.

I can understand that, although TBH going from what I've seen thus far the HD-A3 will likely sell out anyway; if you don't buy it someone else will.
