12/07/07: Wal-mart A2 A3 and PS3 secret sale specials (1 Viewer)

My local Wal-mart said no about the A2 deal

It sounds like it's going to be hit or miss when it comes to finding A2s at Wal-Marts, some will have them, some will not.

Looks like Amazon's promotion is gone now. Maybe they'll be doing something different for Friday?

 

[London Lawson]

Well I called again and a manager told me the info had just came down and yes every store will be getting a minimum of 5.

 

[Patrick Sun]

According to the list of specials, Wal-mart had 24000 of the A2/A3 units amongst all their stores, but it didn't list the ratio between the 2 models.

The deals are all now shown on www.walmart.com/secret.

Anybody have any info on the Gateway laptops? I know a lot of the cheap ones I've seen have been refurbs.

I wonder if we can get the same hd-dvd multiple times.

 

[TonyTone]

I thought I read somewhere that the A3 is capable of passing 7.1-ch audio via HDMI, whereas the A2 can only pass max 5.1-ch audio--in part because the HDMI in the A2 is only 1.2, while the A3's HDMI is 1.3.

I'm not stating any of this as absolute fact...just what I read elsewhere. Feel free to correct me w/ the right info if necessary...

Surprised no one mentioned this, they also had a 50" Vizio Plasma for $998, my store had 2, my wife got there @ 7:45am, she was 4th in line, we got one of the two they had, don't think you can beat a 50" plasma for under $1k.

My local store sold NONE of the more expensive players...had a bunch left.

Budd Lake...07828 for thise who wanna drive!

I stopped by a Wal Mart near work (at Highland Ave / Hwy 330 in San Bernardino) today and wandered around the electronics department for about 10 minutes and saw no HD-DVD or Blu-Ray players at all. I found an employee and asked him if they had carried any HD-DVD players and he told me that they did not other than the X-Box add on drive and the Play Station 3. I didn't see a single HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disc in that store either for that matter.

Oh well... it looks like Amazon.com has better deals today anyway.
