Toshiba lost the war but continues on the DVD front because there is a market who will buy into it. I bought a Panasonic VHS / DVD player with upconversion months ago. Why? Because I wanted it for my room. I still have VHS which could use conversion to DVD, as well.

Toshiba isn't totally stupid, just too big for their britches. They aren't trying to destroy blu-ray any more because they already lost so much in that war. They are merely making the best of it with what is left. All the pompous coporate speak and blu-ray bashing isn't going to slow BD adoption by much.

Economy is bad and this will be a rough Christmas, but I see other gifts being left on store shelves in favor of blu-ray. There is simply nothing else like it - any more.

your right, but you are wrong.

answer yourself this if you have a 4:3 SDTV, why would you buy Toshibas $150 Super-Dee-Duper Upconversion player? You wouldn't.

I have nothing against them promoting DVD, its when they try to pass off DVD as a substitute over BD for HD content, that I have a big problem with.

DVD is a big market and will continue to be a big market, so cater to your market Toshbia, don't try to steal a market that you have already failed to win in with an even more inferior product.

and Tron, I believe you are seriously wrong, when you say that you don't think Toshiba is trying to destroy the BD market, they are trying to destroy the BD market. They don't invest a billion dollars in CELL for 960p upconversion if they aren't gunning after blu-ray.
