I guess the PS3 is now no longer the lowest Blu-ray player.

yeah, and with the added picture-in-picture now i still think its still one of the best values out there. But yeah this is all good none the less.

What i didnt mention before is the price of this unit its actually not bad for a person that dont want a PS3. More and more Sony keeps creeping their prices down towards what HD-DVD has.

And the Toshiba A2 wasnt a clearance sale on black friday? Please display all your beloved sites you enjoy explaining why that HD-DVD player wasnt one also.

- Actually no, not in the same way as I meant about the Samsung and Sony.
The HD A2 was the HD DVD player referred to in the many rumours about Walmart and the big HD DVD deal earlier in the year.
That big sale was planned many months beforehand.

- The big difference here would be that all HD DVD players have full functionality and have had it since day 1.
Even tho the HD A2 has been superceded by the HD A3 it still retains all the iHD functions and full play-back abilities.
You just can't say that about profile 1.0 players
(well not once profile 1.1/glorified interactive CD gets going).

it was a clearance sale, but not on an obsolete player, the A2 will always be able to enjoy full function ability of all future HD DVD releases, unlike profile 1.0 BD players

As said before;
I'll pass my thought on here...............This is Harry's law! This is absolutely how it's going to be.
THERE WILL BE NO VICTOR BETWEEN BLU-RAY AND HD-DVD PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
This WILL NOT be a repeat of the betamax, VHS crap. Boys and girls, we are stuck with two (2) formats. Count'em up; 1,2 There has been too much invested in each and too many videos already produced on each for there to wind up only being one (1). Anyone who believes that Sony will honestly stop producing on their own Blu-ray format that THEY INVENTED and start putting Sony-produced flicks out on HD-DVD is a fool. I used to believe that one would become prevalent but since have change my realistic thoughts on that.
Here's the answer to all the questions.............DUAL FORMAT PLAYERS WILL BE THE STANDARD. It's already started and will continue and drastically reduce in price somewhere down the line. If you don't like the idea of waiting then the option of buying two (2) players is the next best solution. BD for 300.00 bucks and HD-DVD for 300.00 (unless you find another Walmart deal for 100.00)
DONE!
