I agree.... "to sheep baa" player is better choice, but with addition of some dollar, you'll get a BD player. I would opt for BD player

this just goes to show the profit margins are not very large for retail for HD DVD
COMPARED TO BLU-RAY..thats exactly what HD DVD deserves for not sticking with the 1080p market line. Blu-Ray has Stuck to that 1080p Market line, just think if Blu-Ray would have put out a 1080i. the price of 1080i players would have been in the same low ball priceing of HD DVD yes it would have been a little more but not by much. but i am glad THE BDA stuck to the 1080p players

i aim to please...

i think the price point shows how much toshiba are not making/subsidising the 1080i tightwad player.

HD DVD - the Look and Sound of very low profit margins...
