It has begun - A30 sold as Upconverter - Blu-ray Forum

Living Near Shamu · 01-06-2008, 04:05 AM

On this week's ad for a store called Conn's Electronics, they're advertising Tosh's A3 as a 1080i upconverter DVD player. I guess they knew what was coming

Delta_FX · 01-06-2008, 04:07 AM

LMAO... this just gets better and better by the minute.

Seretur · 01-06-2008, 04:08 AM

Oh the ignominy.

Here is another way HD DUD players are being advertised: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvE_dONJIWU

It would be funny if they had this video and the Junk Closet one playing all over CES

That youtube video is hilarious!!

STI Jaguar · 01-06-2008, 04:25 AM

That's the most expensive upconverter ever. Oh the Irony.

Mote · 01-06-2008, 04:34 AM

One is an upconverting DVD player and the other is an HD DVD player. Was there ever really a difference?

mystiksuicide · 01-06-2008, 04:48 AM

Wow that just the final kick in the -- for Toshiba. Your not worthy enough to be called Hi-Def anymore.

Now make a recall if you have any dignity left.
