Will You Buy A Toshiba BD Player? - Blu-ray Forum

Marcusarilius · 02-15-2008, 01:08 AM

Are there hard enough feelings out there that will inhibit BD fans to Buy Toshiba BD Players when they hit the market?

RickD · 02-15-2008, 01:11 AM

I don't own any Toshiba consumer electronics, and I don't see why I should start now.

I would have no malice towards them at all. The only thing that would prevent me from buying one if it was a quality player would be the fact that I've become very fond of the Bluetooth remote on the PS3. Now maybe if they had a nice player with a BT remote

I can't wait 'till we start getting bluetooth everything

if the price is right and the quality is there... why not? toshiba does... atleast in my mind, besides HDDVD, have a solid line of electronics (ie comp, dvd players... etc) that they have sold in the past. i think there reputation will hurt for sometime due to HDDVD but i wouldn't be suprised if they eventually make one of the best players on the market one day.

ezcobar411 · 02-15-2008, 01:17 AM

no I already own a PS3. But I'll gladly welcome them to the BLU side

bootman · 02-15-2008, 01:26 AM

An inexpensive blu for $150 from them would be killer.
No 1080i only please.

LeoneFan · 02-15-2008, 03:36 AM

Hell no!! I would never buy anything made by Toshiba. I like quality electronics.

cartman781 · 02-15-2008, 03:37 AM

For $98 lol

jk1138 · 02-15-2008, 03:44 AM

No, I have 2 blu players already and only 2 HDTVs. They are coming to the party late, so...NO DANCE FOR YOU!

turboedguy · 02-15-2008, 03:51 AM

Toshiba?

Wont they be held liable for war crimes?

davidPS3 · 02-15-2008, 04:00 AM

I would not support this company. I have plenty of equipment from other brands so am set, but in the future I would not buy their brand, just can't do it.

BluStar88 · 02-15-2008, 04:00 AM

I wouldn't be opposed if it was better quality than what they are making now and had lossless audio... etc.

oh and it would have to be cheap.

I would buy a Toshiba BD player if it were BD Live compatable and a player that is reliable.

stockstar1138 · 02-15-2008, 04:21 AM

no. i don't support companies that have pulled the crap and deception they have on the market. yeah, sony has f'd up in the past with things like rootkit, but they never sent out constant PRs that made it appear a product was viable and winning when in fact it was losing, which encouranged hundreds of thousands of people to waste a couple hundred dollars. itll be a long while before i buy toshiba products again, same with MS. I've installed Linux on all my computers now, including PS3.

Tru 2 Blu · 02-15-2008, 04:31 AM

I have so much hate for Toshiba for dragging on this format war. I won't support them. I'm hoping to get the Denon DVD-3800BDCI *coughs* better quilty player. Nicely said stockstar1138.
