    Default HD DVD ?s

    Why is the Tosh AE3 a $100 more than the A2? Wally's has both, the A3 is $298, and might include 2 HD movies, if you can find the right box. The A2 is $198(the same one they had on sale for $98 a week or two ago.

    The Wally's near where I work now is carrying a Sammy BD and a Sony BD-300s(?). the Sony was reduced to $388 from $488. Glad I got the PS3 for BR.

    Well, the A3 is one more than the A2 right? So... it should cost more. :) DUH!

    (kidding, obv, as far as I can tell they're identical, one's just "newer")
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    If you do not have HDMi inputs on your reciever or Pre/pro, the A2 is the one you want. (the a3 converts audio to a 680k (or so) DD stream via toslink. the A2 converts to a 1.5meg DTS stream via toslink. Then again, if your AVR does not support DTS, maybe the A3 would be the better choice.

    and if you do have a receiver with hdmi, then another reason to pick the a3 is because it will output 7.1 sound where as the a2 is limited to 5.1. moot point for some. big deal for others.
