Why should anybody want to talk you out of a good deal? The only thing to keep in mind is that Toshiba has been VERY slow in honoring the 5-free coupons. Just make sure the movies you put on that list are the ones you're willing to wait for.

Please tell me why not to!!!!
First off with all respects to Robert at VE... This is the better deal for me. I would have went with him if I could have gotten something similiar.
Here is the deal. I have a upconvert player that I have not been happy with. I will be returning it this week. So I will be getting $155.00 return at BB.
The following would be what I would get:
Toshiba HD-A2 ( buying )
The Matrix Collection ( buying )
Happy Feet ( buying )
Free:
The Ant Bully
Polar Express
Toshiba's 5 free deal:
Seabiscuit
Constantine
Four Brothers
Rundown
We Were Soldiers
This package would cost roughly $252.00 more than what I already have spent. As a bonus I would get Giant Eagle gas perks first.
If anyone thinks this would not be a good deal, please talk me out of it quickly. I will be going through with this on Monday probably.
Thanks

Yeah i could wait for the Toshiba ones. I would still have the other 4 right away and a ton of DVD's here while I wait. I know it sounds like a good deal to me, I just wanted anyone who thinks it is not to please chime in. I have always has bad buyers remorse in the past and would like to avoid it this time.
I think Happy Feet cost more than Polar Express. Therefore, I would suggest switching to buying Polar Express and getting Happy Feet free to save a few more bucks.

You obviously have put a calculator to your decision and factored in the local sales taxes versus purchasing from VE which would not charge sales tax but would charge shipping fees.
My only problem with BB is a few experiences I have had with their return policy on electronic merchandise. I do not buy anything from BB because of this. I have never had a problem with CC receiving credit for a returned product either in direct cash or a credit refund nor Amazon and with Robert & his reputation I would expect the same.
Regards & Good Luck !

If you really want a good DVD upconverting player, you may want to opt for the HD-XA2 instead. Its more expensive, but its also supposed to be significantly better in performance.

Yeah I would get the XA2 if it weren't for the money. My TV is brand new and is only 720P, so I expect that I won't need the better 1080P for a long time yet.

That looks good to me. The only thing I would suggest would be not to get Polar Express when you get this. That way they have to give you Happy Feet and Ant Bully free, and you can go back later and pick up Polar Express. If you go through with those three they will charge you for the most expensive of the bunch and give you the other two free. From their prices online you would save $10 doing it that way.
Looks like a winning deal, I say go for it
The good thing about this promotion is that there are options for everyone
1. VEs $299 HD DVD player which comes with 3 free movies of your choice and a 6' HDMI cable
2. Costcos $249 HD DVD player which comes with a HDMI cable
3. Best Buy where you can get the $299 HD-A2 with The Matrix Trilogy and score an additional 2 free movies
Those are all winning deals, all 3 of them are better deals than last week. This is the time for anyone who has been interested in HD DVD players
