Toshiba HD-A2 vs Toshiba HD-A3

Cnet is reporting that both units feature identical hardware. The only differences are price and exterior dimensions. If you have invested in silver/grey components over the past few years, go with the HD-A2 while supplies last. You will save a few dollars in the process while preserving, at least to some degree, the aesthetic of your home theatre.

HD-A3 ($300, October 2007): With its output resolution limited to 1080i, the primary appeal of the entry-level model is its affordable price tag. Except for the slimmer case, this looks to be nearly a clone of the current HD-A2, which is currently selling online for as little as $200.
