Update: 11/07/07 - OneCall no longer has stock of the HD-XA2, but Amazon does, and they're offering it for $499.99 delivered - the lowest price we've ever seen from an authorized dealer!

We've had Toshiba's HD-XA2 (HDXA2) second generation HD-DVD Player in our testing labs for just a couple of weeks and already, we're very impressed. This thing does high definition upconversion of standard definition DVDs like nobody's business thanks to its integrated Silicon Optix Reon-VX processing. The fact that it plays HD-DVDs at their full 1080p resolution with HDMI 1.3 support is almost gravy.

And now OneCall has the HD-XA2 on sale for just $569.88 with an offer for five (5) free HD-DVD discs by mail. Amazon.com has also lowered their price on the HD-XA2 all the way down to $554.99 with free shipping.
