Oh man.

To be honest, the XA2 is exactly the sort of player that would have got me to buy into HD DVD last spring. I've even toyed with idea recently.

But, in the end, one studio isn't going to cut it. And, I too am a lemon magnet. I'm notorious for it in my family.

I'm shocked Toshiba couldn't get a properly working deck out at a premium price, eight months after the format launch.
