I like that... it fixes alot of the problems with the current hd-dvd players that are still on the market. I have 65 hd-dvd and 89 blu-ray films. I love when they have updates you never know what special features it may unlock.

Has there been another 360 update? My old lady bought a few of the $4.99-7.99 HDDVDs at Frys so I actually pulled the 360 out of the closet (where it had been since buying and moving into my new house). I have yet to get the 360 connected to the Internet again, though (XBL trial expired long ago and the wireless was behaving wacky with my Airport Base Station).

I guess I better blow the dust off my HD DVD player and update the firmware.

m_tyson · 09-26-2008, 12:25 AM

Is the SD part now all zone ? You have to admit that selling combos where one side was R1 and the other region free when they held the same content was the work of absurdity. Especially when the SD side held one more supplement than the HD side, and the disc was bought by oversea people...

I'm hoping these are sarcasm. Honestly, HD DVD is a great deal better than any HD cable station and still looks just as good as Blu-ray.

But yeah, glad to see Toshiba still updating players for those who bought it.

HD-DVD looks far better than DVD's.

Unfortunately they made a limited stock of HD-DVD's and I'm running out every time I got skeet shooting.
