Sorry to rain on your parade Ian but....... I picked 2 of them up at Walmart in Burlington, Wisconsin for $98 each.
I got there before 8 and waited in line (~30 people in front of me)
When they ran out of laptops (~still had 6 people in front of me).....
The guy in front of me ended being next in line.......
I couldn't overhear the conversation but he bought one and came back to stand behind me since I was the only person left in line.......
he was told that he couldn't buy a second one and had to get back in line....
I was the line.......
I stepped up to the counter and bought one and asked if I could buy anther one for $98.........
the told me to get back in line.........
I turned around.........
there was the guy who was in front of me.......
I walked back to THE END OF THE LINE.......
bought my second one 30 seconds after my first.
There are rumors that the A2 will be going for $129 on Black Friday so keep your eyes open.
My current DVD player was dying so getting an upconverting/HD DVD player and 5 free HD DVD movies for $98 was a no brainer for me.
Good Luck Ian!
