Finally, this HD battle is over and I can go get myself a PS3 without fear to lose my money. :)

None anymore

DONT BE FOOLED BY PRICE ; TOSHIBA will not be making anymore HD-DVD product like this anymore. BLU-RAY "won" the HD battle ; What this means is that HD-DVDs will probably disappear soon from store shelves. You will have a great player and nothing to...

Great Upconverting DVD Player

 

I bought this after the format war ended because I've wanted a good up converting DVD player for the "play" room so that DVDs can "look" HD on the 32in 720p Sammy display. I have tried it on 1080i on a 1080p Sammy and DVDs look awesome. HD DVD looks...

Upconverts DVDs to 720p and 1080i with supurb quality

Good Dvd Player

 

Good player, the price wasn't too awful

Excellent HD DVD player even if blue ray is going to beat it out. It upconverts old dvds to a lot higher quality, easy setup, easy to set the format and resolution

Slow to load movies, found it 2 weeks later for $60 dollars cheaper

Similar to the A2

 

My understanding is that the A2 is technically similar to, if not nearly identical to, the HD-A2, which I do own. HD-DVD's look great, no complaints there whatsoever. Firmware update via CDROM worked flawlessly, and only took a couple minutes

Start-time is slow, though that is to be expected for an HD player. A little frustrating when playing standard def DVDs, as I miss clicking "Eject" and having the tray immediately open up while the player needs all of 5 seconds to start up. Do not...

Great DVD Player

 

Great DVD upconverter, my standard DVDs look theater quality. Easy set-up, no firmware upgrade required out of the box. Too bad this format appears to be failing, but for the price, 2 free movies in the box and a rebate for 5 more from Toshiba; it's...

Netfix stopped carrying HD DVDs... Hello Blockbuster. Load times are not that bad. No HDMI cable but Newegg has them cheap

Just great!

 

Shipping was super fast. I ordered the item and next day I received it. Newegg is amazing!

Great HD DVD player. It is very easy and simple to use. Great quality, shows perfect

I wish they could change the design of the dvd player little bit

The Look And Sound Of Perfect For The Masses

 

The picture and sound are first rate, even if the max output resolution is 1080i. Great player for the price. Fully functional HD-DVD format won't be replaced by the same thing in a year like current Blu-ray will be

This guy is optical only and doesn't support coaxial digital audio. This in itself is minor, though because small, inexpensive converters exist to create a coax signal from an optical signal

Great player for the money!

 

If your HDTV deinterlaces well (you can google to find if is it passes tests) then this player will work great for you. YOU DO NOT NEED A 1080P PLAYER to get 1080p picture on your set.

This is an excellent player. Picture quality is amazing. I am viewing with a 1080p DLP 56". 1080i output is just fine for me as my HDTV deinterlaces perfectly to show the 1080p goodness. I have not had one issue since I purchased back in November

Slow load times like everyone says. I compensate by turning everything on and then go get the snacks and drinks
