Volunteer Kazz Posted February 16, 2008 Volunteer Posted February 16, 2008 Yep kazz, did you ask if thats the correct price, with a"I thought thes came down recently tag on.?"My xe1 still had a 1299 sticker on it but the guy was very quick to tell me it was much cheaper, bu this store had teh actuall press release posted on all their toshi products. I think they still have about 8 players in stock the $A399 model.which they had for $380.. Nope after my rather vocal reaction (no swearing) there were suddenly no salesmen to be found. Wonder why.

Volunteer Kazz Posted February 16, 2008 Volunteer Posted February 16, 2008 Should have whipped out a pen and corrected the price tag Haha didn't think of that.

zeus1503559778 Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 I picked up my XE1 at Clive Peeters Auburn. Salesman didn't have any left in stock so he got one shipped to me from the Mt Druitt store. Also gave me a very decent price of $525.
ozynigma Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 Well while most stores are dropping their prices on Toshiba Players, there are some that were obviously price gouging before the price drops.Was in the local Hardly's this morning to look at stoves but couldn't help but have a sticky in the HT section, anyway we walked past a plasma with an E1 hooked up to it and out of curiosity I had a look at the price sticker on it. I have to say the whole store must have heard my reaction (son was looking for somewhere to hide) when I saw the price of $1099. ON an E1. We took a photo, please excuse the quality, my son took it on his mobile while we were trying not to be sprung. I am still completely gobsmacked. Despite not needing anything more for my HT, I was in HN the other day and noticed a Toshiba flat panel offered with a bonus free HD player. Now the player was individually priced at $399 (EP10???) but the bonus offer claim on the flat panel was still for $799. So they seem to be a bit slow resetting their value equations for HD players. ozynigma
petetherock Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 My source in Clive Peters Auburn tells me they are out of XE1s for good, is this really Toshiba capitulating?
hddvduser Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 My source in Clive Peters Auburn tells me they are out of XE1s for good, is this really Toshiba capitulating? no mate it means they are not bringing more hdxe1 in the country due to cost of making the player, they will have the hdep10 and hde1 , then bring in the ep30-35 in a little while
ausnew Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 no mate it means they are not bringing more hdxe1 in the country due to cost of making the player, they will have the hdep10 and hde1 , then bring in the ep30-35 in a little while hddvduser, What is you take on the general situation - Will Toshiba fight on, or reconsider their financial exposure to potential losses ?
petetherock Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 Mate, what is the no BS answer on Toshi's plans? Toshiba just isn't doing enough. Not just machines, nor cheap prices and redemptions, but I guess I am looking for real action. no mate it means they are not bringing more hdxe1 in the country due to cost of making the player, they will have the hdep10 and hde1 , then bring in the ep30-35 in a little while

Electric_Haggis Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Folks, it has officially happened... THE WAR IS OVER. Announced to the world last, 5pm Tokyo time: http://www.hddvd.org/hddvd/ http://www.blu-ray.com/ http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/19/param...lms-on-blu-ray/ (and just about every other site on the planet.)
AndrewW Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Folks, it has officially happened...THE WAR IS OVER. Yeah we sort of found out around 12 hours ago
peterjcat Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Folks, it has officially happened...THE WAR IS OVER. In other news, World War I is also over, and WWII doesn't look like lasting much longer either.
Electric_Haggis Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Yeah we sort of found out around 12 hours ago Sure, 7pm Sydney time, all over the web. No one posted it here, though.
kiwimeat Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Sure, 7pm Sydney time, all over the web.No one posted it here, though. You mean in your post? Or did you miss the multiple threads across at least four of the sub-forums? As I like to say...."Welcome to Yesterday"
blairy Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 As I like to say...."Welcome to Yesterday" Or as my wife might say..."Run and catch up will you" cheers blairy

As I like to say...."Welcome to Yesterday" Well, jeez... soooorrrrry!! As I said - it ain't new news, and I realise it's all over the web. But as no one had yet posted the news on THIS thread, what's so wrong with posting for the benefit of people who might not have been browsing around, and were maybe even setting out to buy a player today? Far out!! Edited February 20, 2008 by Haggis2
