This is a heck of a deal; Toshiba is offering a $100 instant in-store rebate on their already low cost HD-A2 HD DVD player. Right now at Best Buy the HD-A2 is going for $399 so if you pick it up in store you can run away with it for $299.

The in-store $100 rebate is good from May 20 to June 9th. Did I mention it’s an instant rebate? No stupid forms to fill out or waiting three months to get your $100 back. Toshiba also sweetened the deal and if you buy the HD-A2 along with one of their 42” or larger HDTVs and you get a whopping $200 instant in-store rebate on the HD-A2. You can still also take advantage of the five free HD DVD movie offer from Toshiba which runs through July 31. On May 22 the Matrix Trilogy is also launching on HD DVD. Trust me; the Toshiba HD-A2 is a way better choice for Father’s Day than a tie. Via Toshiba press release.

Make sure to keep an eye on the price of the HD-A2 on Amazon.com. It is currently already just $277.88.
