Sub-$200 Toshiba HD DVD deck pricing is contagious

It seems that Wal*Mart is not the only source for sub-$200 Toshiba HD DVD players. Not to be outdone by Wal*Mart’s $198 HD-A2 pricing, Circuit City is pricing the HD-A2 at $197.99. Ars Technica reports that Best Buy is also planning a price cut. It is still $229.98 at Amazon, but I won’t be surprised if their pricing drops too. EDIT: Their price dropped, $197.99 with free shipping.

Just a reminder, the Lifetime Transfer offer on the TiVo HD expires Thursday, November 8th, 2007. So you have just two weeks left to make up your mind if you’re considering doing the transfer. Also, remember that it has been reported that TiVo is allowing the transfer on retail units. Other deals remain in effect.

$399.99 40GB PlayStation3 now available for pre-order on Amazon.com

No, you don’t have deja vu. Yes, I made a very similar post just yesterday. Yesterday I noticed Amazon had a page up where you could sign up to be notified when it was available. Well, today it is. You can now pre-order the Playstation 3 40GB Spider-Man Movie Pack for $399.99. It ships on November 2nd, and comes bundled with a Blu-ray copy of Spider-man 3. I expect there’ll be a rush on these.

If you plan to use the PS3 as a Blu-ray Disc player, you’ll also want to pick up the Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc Remote.
