I was just about to pull the trigger on a refurb for $520 and I see this new for $521. I'm a little nervous about no return because I have 1% doubt there will be some sort of issue with the thing, but figured I could turn it around pretty quick at that price if I found it incompatible.

I'm resting on it tonight but will probably pull the trigger tomorrow. Post up if you or someone you know is doing a power buy.

Where are the refurbs located. You could pm me if you want. I am deciding on this deal myself.

I'd like a few more replies to my other thread, but I'm leaning towards doing it as well.

I'm on board. A little nervous about all the refurbs with only 3 month support, this is the cheapest price by $100 dollars online. I think the shipping price and time to ship royally sucks, but how could one complain.

Just pulled the trigger. Nobody else on is on this? What do you already have one?

I'm in--too good of a deal to pass up.

The shorter warranty on the refurbs made me a little uneasy.

I ordered one yesterday. 3 to 4 weeks to wait.

3 to 4? Guess I should have asked, but I thought it was 2.

It's not a 3 to 4 week wait...we ordered them Friday late day so we should have them end of this week and we will turn them around immediately.

Any plans for doing this again. I didn't see it until it was too late.

Not immediately...but we never can tell when these deals will come up.

I ordered mine on Thursday but I haven't received an e-mail confirmation or CC charge yet. I'm a little nervous without any sort of confirmation of purchase, but all should be well. Hope they get here soon!

Charges won't be done until they arrive later this week (or early next...depends on shipping company). If you are unsure contact your salesman and he can confirm your order.

Sorry, I was told by my sales guy 3 to 4 weeks. I am very happy it will be less. Thanks Jason. I was also told they were to be drop shipped.

how would my harmony control the edge?? Can it even.....i worried about compatibility with my HK 347...even then, is the edge worth it to me with my Panasonic 42" TH42PX60u (720p)....???????? OH, and my tv can accept a 1080p signal, it just downrezzes it. What would/ should be the output signal from the edge, 720p, 1080i or 1080p. I have blu-ray, hd dvd, xbox 360 and hd cable

The DVDO EDGE is in the list of Harmony Devices and there are 30 or so commands available. But... I'm not sure you'll need to add it to your activies since I think it powers up when an input device is powered up?? I just added it to my device list so I'll be able to add wanted commands to my 'Watch DVD' activity. Can't wait to get it and play around with everything.

Got mine yesterday.. Hurrah. I'm overwhelmed by the functionality on this thing. Beautifully smart defaults and more features than I can even understand. It's awesome!

How many people are needed for a powerbuy on the edge? I can be patient and wait for a group to build up.

I'm in if it can be shipped to Canada.

I always considered an edge, but i keep coming to the conclusion i dont need it.

I already have a switching, hdmi setup that works fine for me. 5 Port hdmi switch, and hdmi splitter.

I have a toshiba A35 for sd/dvd which has the same upscaling chip as the edge.

My projector has a reon chip for deinterlacing.

I have a flea for noise reduction.

Bluerays are passed at 1080p/24 right off the disk.

I guess I would like it for upscaling standard def tv, but sadly dish network, or bell express vu (same company makes receivers) only allows one resolution output. So it has to stay at 1080i.

So unfortunately as much as I would like one, I just dont think it would benefit me.

No specific number...it is just done occassionally. However if there is enough interest, I can probably presuade them to do it again. If anyone is interested, please EMAIL me at jason@avscience.com. (AGAIN...EMAIL!).

I will keep a list and see what I can do.

Same scaling chip, but deinterlacing is a whole different story. Overall, the A35 doesn't compare to the Edge, IMO.

Just wanted to point that out. You sound pretty well covered with your equipment though. I think you're actually one step ahead of the game just having a Flea. :cool: I love that thing.

GET.... NEW.... CABLE BOX.... NOW! :p

Sorry.

Well i send 1080i out since the reon in my projector does a great job of deinterlacing for sd dvd. As you know you also cannot watch at 1080p when you use the flea, once again making the need for an edge non existant.

The satellite receiver is another story, again it sucks it does not have native resolution support, but this is bell express vu, dishnetwork in the u.s. is the same, there is no native support.
