$99 HD DVD players!

LAWL...

I wonder what kind of QC corners they cut to get it out for that price... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Oh Wal-Mart, I don't understand why anyone would buy electronics from there...

 
$348 acer laptop, but cant see all of the specs.

ok its walmart. I saw this last night on another forum. Bet its like bestbuy where they advertise a sale and then its not there so you buy other shit. haha

 
Dang. That's crazy.

Think I'll pick a couple up and re-sale them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Ridiculously easy to return from wal-mart, if the electronic was faulty. They basically take back anything. Can't go wrong to try it out for the price.

I thought you knew but its the same player toshiba has been making for a year almost nothing has changed. The HD A2, I know I am buying one for hte living room.

 
They only information I could find on the laptop is that it is an Acer, its has a celeron processor (crap), and it has 1 gig of ram (wow). It will likley come with Vista so you are bascally buying a $350 piece of crap

 
People don't understand electronics and integrated circuits in spite that they are surrounded by this daily.

Toshiba - HD DVD

* High-performance SHARC 32-bit floating-point DSP for improved audio performance

******************

Maybe it's this chip; [ADSP-21161N Low Cost 32-Bit SHARC DSP, 100 MHz]

http://www.analog.com/en/prod/0,2877,ADSP%252D21161N,00.html

How much for the chip? If you or I were to make a Toshiba clone, maybe the chip

cost $50. But 1000 piece pricing is $25 each. A big company like Toshiba will buy

more and maybe the cost per chip is $5 each.

Is $100 a good price for the player? Sure it is, but you know the manufacturers are

still raping killer profits.

 
I always take the MSRP, and divide it by 10 to get the manufactured cost //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Its actually not too far from the reality...

boat?

Hell, I don't even have an HD capable tv, but I want this just b/c of the price. !

I knew I saw it there.

I will never buy electronics from Wal-Mart, hell I will not buy shampoo there. Support a local retailer.
