And Toshiba's player would still have value since its likely going to be under $200 by the end of the year. So its entirely possible that someone might get a full fledged HD DVD player later for a second TV. The could do the same too for blu-ray. It all depends on how many titles they have from each side.
And I still think its far too pricey for the average consumer to buy.

while centenly it would still be out on the market . the combo players would hurt HD DVD's bottom line with out the IHD support what would be the point of the studios going exclusive to HD DVD if blu-ray players can also play HD DVD movies and also have INTERACTIVE FEATURES..cheaper cost.?...because there would not be any reason to go with IHD ....java is cheaper.
the perception WOULD BE A BLU-RAY PLAYER FIRST A HD DVD PLAYER SECOND. if all the BLU-RAY ce companies made their PLAYERS play HD DVD also that would make sure that HD DVD survives but the IHD would not be needed.
