for the extra price for monoprice's premium, its really a no brainer  If you're worried about the sharp bend, just get the 6 footer (would recommend this anyway, I have ran into too many circumstances when my 3ft optical wasn't enough). 6' will give you lots to work with. That works. I was liking the "premium" one, but just wanted to make sure that it would still be flexible.... Plus it comes with a Metal "Fancy" Connector...   Good news about K-Mart. Not that they are a huge reseller or tech stuff, but since they are one and the same pretty much with Sears, I wonder if the ol' Craftsman store will carry just HD-DVD as well? Pure speculation of course. I hope WB sticks with HD-DVD. If not it could almost cancel out some of the impact of the big drop in price for HD-DVD players.

All I want is LOTR on HD DVD. I will then be a very happy man.

I know. It was supposed to be 3rd or 4th quarter of 2007, now sometime in 2008....
That is an absolute MUST BUY for me! It was amazing on SD DVD, HD will be unbelievable.

I didn't know that K-Mart is still around. They're kaput here in Canada.

K-Mart did go bankrupt here in the states but the stores are still open, I believe Sears may have bought them out, since every time I go in one they want me to sign up for a Sears card.

Rumor has it that Wal-Mart will be selling the Toshiba HD-A2 for $99 this Friday to start the holiday season. The suspense is killing me...

For $99 I probably WOULD return the Circuit City one! I would get about $90 back in the difference in price minus shipping. Plus I would actually get to use my new player this weekend instead of in a week or two.
Does anyone know how to find out about any possible sale on Friday short of calling the stores?

HomeDad.... Huh???
There have been confirmations of a $198 HD-A2 coming in November (this weekend) for some time and a few stores started selling them early at that price. The whole "only models from China" thing also was "confirmed" to be false. Granted my information is from threads at AVS, but they are all over this situation from what I can gather.
