Great deals on Toshiba HD-A1 players!!!!!!

I have just spoken to a friend of mine who runs this company -

www.dvdworldusa.com

He is selling the Toshiba HD-A1 @ £450 delivered with 5 FREE HD films

It doesn't stop there

He has told me that when purchasing, in the comments box when proceeding throught checkout, if you mention my name (Marcus) and add the comment "AV Forums Member" he will chuck in another film for FREE! that makes 6 free titles in all

That is one of the best deals to be had on this player EVER

Remember to add my name and "AV Forums Member" in the comments box to receive this deal

Dont say I dont do anything for you

The players can be had on e bay cheaper I agree but Tony is a reputable seller, selling brand new units with 6 free films to forum members and a delivery time of less than 5 working days usually.

You can get stung (as I have in the past) buying from the states via ebay

The films retail at nearly £20 a pop so you are getting £100 worth af films free too remember

Do you get your choice of titles?

Marcus

I registered on the site and tried to buy the A1 with the package, but there seems to be no way to select your 5 or 6 free titles, without being charged full price. Is this just an offer where the seller selects your free titles, ie you get the ones the dealer can't shift?

I'd be grateful for a response.

Hi bud

We were only discussing it a couple of hours ago so maybe it has not been implemented yet

If you ring this number - 0871 222 0650

and ask for Tony, mention my name and I'm sure he will sort you out

Let me know how you get on

I think a power selling total of over 5200 and positive feedback of 99.4% speaks for itself

But theres no denying your deal is just as good, only Ive got most the titles I want. If you've not got any (which you prob wont if your looking for a player in the first place then this is as good a place to start as any

HI this sounds really good.

Two questions i have never heard of dvdworldusa before can people confirm that they are a good supplier?

Secondly for the person that purchased his mation from the electronics store - did you not have to pay vat and customs duty on top of the £342?

cheers

dvdworldusa.com has been around for donkeys years, longer than playusa.com

Tony PROMISES NO VAT and if by some strange reason it is charged to you, he will refund you all of it!


Give him a ring and put you mind at ease if you are not happy with online ordering

Dont delay though, he wont be doing this deal forever

Players are not within the UK but are sent via Fedex Express shipping 3-5 business day delivery

Warranty will obviously be with the manufacturer as with all stuff like this but any problems just talk to him and you can sort it out easily, try doing that through an e bay seller

I know, bloody difficult to resist. I'm trying to decide between getting an Xbox 360 and the HD-DVD drive when that comes out or just get a HD-A1. Not an easy decision I gotta tell ya!

Treat yourself matey

You may aswell take advantage of the deal? If you wait you will still end up paying the same but having to fork out for the films.

Just my opinion

I was in the same position as you last week but I have decided against the 360 add on, I think it will look stupid under the my Plama and it wont have enough connections for my liking

My only problem is which do I buy, the A1 or X1

I'd phone just to clarify bud, since you have placed the order

Tony is in Miami this weekend but just ask to speak to Damon, he knows about this deal if I recall and he can clarify how much your card has been debited

You wont be dissapointed with the purchase mate, sit back and smile, you have had a GREAT deal

This deal is 100% genuine - I was going to order but I just cannot afford it this month but I did speak to someone at DVDWorldUSA and it is all true and you do get 6 titles if you are an AV Forums member.

OK, I have taken the plunge.

I ordered on the web site but also phoned a few hours later to confirm the order had been received.

The guy I spoke to said that the uptake on the offer had been significant and he was waiting for stock to come in to fulfill my order but hoped it would be with him tomorrow.

He confirmed that I would be receiving my 6 free HD-DVDs.

Watch this space.
