About: Although a Seattle native, Tyler doesn't t fit that stereo type very well. He prefers Red Bull to Lattes, doesn't own a pair of birkenstocks, and has never hugged a tree in his life. As a life long Geek, he is pretty much addicted to anything that has to do with technology. He became hooked on HDTV in early '04, and hasn't looked back since. At his day job in the aerospace industry, he is never too far away from the latest news thanks to Google Reader on his iPhone. Tyler's vision for Format War Central is to provide a very diverse range of opinions, which he thinks really engages the readers and promotes vibrant discussions.See Authors Posts (237)

We were browsing our local Costco (Seattle Area), when we came across an awesome deal of $249.99 on the Toshiba HD-D2 (Costco only model thats the same as the HD-A2). This includes the $100 instant rebate for fathers day (price good through 6/16), also remember Costco has an unlimited return policy on DVD players (TVs are 90 days). We think this price point is getting into the range of a good Oppo up-converting player, why not spend the extra $50 for real HD?

Can you tell me exactly which one in the Seattle area? I live on the Eastside and didn’t see it at my local store.
It was at the Everett Store.
I saw it at the one on 4th ave as well.
Ryan, How was the display @ the 4th ave. store?

Costco currently has the HD-A20 for 429.99 on their website (70 off MSRP) and from June 10th to the 16th, all toshiba units will be $100 off, set your calenders to see if Costco sells the HD-A20 for 329.99.

I just purchased a HD-A2 this weekend for 299.99, and it’s worth it, but for 30 + costco membership more, it’s definately worth upgrading to the A20.
