The add money is kicking in now! Good to see this kind of promotion, finally.
This sure will help to bring people into the store.
The local Visions store has a HDA2 connected to a Toshiba 62" 1080 DLP located near the front of the store, it's the first thing you see when you walk in.
The salesman I deal with said he gave up trying to sell the BD units...to expensive.
They all seem to believe HD-DVD will be the format of choice.

I'm seriously considering this deal, actually. Sale starts tomorrow. Just curious if I'll be disappointed with the TV (I've read about problems with black levels). Someone, PLEASE, convince me to get it!!

fyi,
tv's model number is 42HL196.
Robert, as a licensed Toshiba dealer, how do you / your customers feel about that particular TV? Have you had complaints? Any input that will push me to buy this set would be much appreciated

The TV with the included HD-DVD player is a good deal.... but don't count on Toshiba sending you any free DVD's

He probably would get the 3 free movies, because so far only Canadians have actually recieved them.
That is a HECK of a deal, though!

How much is the rebate?
I think we're going to see more and more salespeople pushing HD DVD because IT IS POSSIBLE TO SELL THEM! There's a lot of price resistance to BD and for good reason. The PS3 may be a good BD player, but it doesn't upconvert and most middle aged people (who can afford a standalone from either format) want a standalone, not a gaming console. BD has basically put all their eggs in the PS3 basket.
The nice thing for HD DVD is that with its pricing it is possible to "throw" one in with the sale of a big ticket item.
This is good new for Blu-Ray.

So, I went to my local visions and picked up this TV + HD DVD Combo. The TV looked great in the store (as they all do... to an extent), and it looked great in my living room. But, as soon as I turned the lights off.... muddy blacks. ugh. I played with all the settings, even turning the back light off, and still, it looked horrible. I returned it today and got the 56" 1080p Samsung. It's being delivered tomorrow. yay!
Also, interestingly enough, they had an HD-XA2 in stock. I wanted it, and almost bought it, then the guy realized that it wasn't showing up as in stock in their system, AND it was actually a customer special order. So I let it go. Maybe next time...

The Tosh LCD had poor blacks???? I am surprised by that. Pretty well regaurded 720p LCD direct views there. But I always say go for the screen size anyways.
