You can already get the HD-XA1 HD DVD player from Toshiba for 10,000 Yen less than list price. That’s about 10% off.

We spotted it for under ¥100,000 at a downtown branch of Bic Camera, which is ¥10,000 less than the list price. […]

Incidentally, we heard from a source that the reason Toshiba rushed the player out on the last day of March was simply so that it could say it had met its promises to offer something within the first quarter of 2006.

I wish that we would see great new electronics marked down this fast here in North America!
