Be aware, the new firmware update will make A2 as good as A3 but if you are impatient, then this is a good deal!!

Even better is that anyone who ordered a A2 yesterday will get an upgraded A3

[m1ndless]

I saw that, but I was not sure if it was confirmed.

WHAT!!! I just picked up an A2 today when is the update where can i read this?

[Hybrid]

The A3 is max 1080i.
A HELL of a deal.
In fact, I was just at Best Buy and I saw a guy trying to price match Walmart A2 for the A3 for $99 but they didn't allow that. The guy bought it anyways.

vtec, if you ordered it from Best Buy and they were not able to fulfill your order, then they will upgrade it to a A3

[RaGe]

The A2 is 1080i aswell

[m1ndless]

I believe the A2 firmware update will make it practically the same as the A3, but that is just what I read..

[RaGe]

what the difference now?

[m1ndless]

From what I can tell, there is not much difference spec wise, except beter interlacing for the upconversion 1080i/720p settings.

[Hybrid]

Nope, they are both 1080i.

Btw, you can get 10 movies now at Best Buy. 2 in box, 5 mail in, 3 in stores.

Best Buy is OOS but circuit city has them for the same price + there is a $40 off $199 coupon out there
