I'm critical of Ranyuncho for posting a thread with an obviously misleading title "hd dvd $50" which most people interpret as an HD-DVD player, not a cr@ppy upconvert player which are a dime a dozen. This would not bother me so much, except for some of the first response in this thread made this same complaint and Ranyuncho was too lazy to edit his title. Big thumbs down. Posting and keeping an obviously false thread title is a sleazy way to keep a thread active. |

Oy...all you people are complaining about how bad the Staples cyber monday deals are. You may be right, but consider that they just had their black friday sale a few days ago, and there were some very decent deals there. We can't expect them to have killer deals every day. Perhaps we should just be thankful for the BF sale and move on. |

I will order anyway, and will fight with Staples. I have nothing to do like most of you guys here. |

IIRC most of their summer holiday sales stunk, so in a way we should consider ourselves lucky to have gotten some good BF deals. |

If it turns out that the model number is correct, then this deal is great.
I'll be ordering one if I can and I'll return it if it's not an HDDVD player.
By the way, when does this deal go live for online ordering?

Posting and keeping an obviously false thread title is a sleazy way to keep a thread active. The problem with this deal is that Staples used the correct model number in their ad for an HD player. Not the OP's fault if we can't tell whether the model # is wrong or the pic and description is wrong. I personally think they put the wrong model number on the web page with the correct pic and description of the model they're selling for $49. No way this product would sell for 10% of it's retail price, refurb or not. |

The retail price doesn't mean anything when the product isn't being sold at retail. There's no reason why refurb HDV5000s wouldn't sell for $50, when new HD-A2s were being sold for $100 recently.

I would lean towards Stples screwups keying in bad information. On page three of the ad, they list a GE Edge 3/Pack cordless phone for $29.99. Clicking on that link takes you to the 'two-pack' page. Neither the two or three pack have the correct 'original price'. |
