Nah. It was literally in their hands to avoid this whole mess in the first place. Instead they tried to foist an inferior product on the market. I know it was just business .. which is why I'll take my standalone player business to someone like Panasonic instead.

I thought about it but it seems the end is near.

and look at it this way their first BD player will cost as much as 90 to 150 and that is a chance to get a cheap player, that is if they release one. They did it with HDDVD, so i wont think their would be a problem with buying a toshiba BD player.

No. If Toshiba creates a player that is better than the competition, I will buy it when I look for another Blu-ray player. But if it's cheap crap, I'll pass on it.

It's not like Sony stuck it's neck into a format war for the first time with Blu-ray. I generally hate all the proprietary format's Sony has created. But this time around, the BDA created the better product - and that's what I always buy, the product, not the name stamped on it.

When I started selling electronics in 1998, i used to look to Toshiba as a close second to Sony, but this war has caused me to develop a hatred for their product., I would only buy their player if its cheap and for a bedroom.

[Petra_Kalbrain]

My opinion... NEVER! I have owned several Toshiba electonic units in the past. Each has felt like a feable and delicate piece of equipment that, if even remotely bumped or nudged, could potentially damage it for good. I prefer to know for a fact that my electronics have some girth to protect their central nervous systems.

[Chuey]

No way I will buy anything from Toshiba, they should be sue for deceptive trade pratice. I use to have a good opinion about them but not anymore.

[blackhawktraffic]

Eh unless its amazing and has great reviews and isnt too much sure why not, if thats not the case then hell no.

I think that's what caused them to bleed from the anus. I doubt highly they would have players that cheap...it will be funny when they have a BD player that's not as cheap as their HD DVD players. Then we can ask what happened to their lower prices?

The word is Toshiba's about the pull the plug on HD-DVD and they're developing a BD player. I say it's about time and welcome aboard.

that would be interesting. if you know what i mean.


However, on the subject Toshiba is corp. they will end up making money once they switch. whenever there is a format war somebody is going to end up losing for example when Beta by sony VS. VHS by JVC, sony lost the war and ended up producing VHS players. and guess what their players was the top of the line. people didn't cut them off. I predict the same thing will happen with toshiba. I am not saying their players are going to end up the top of the line, I am just saying that people will purchase their BD players.

[MOONPHASE]

just like i said on another forum on here with same title ill never buy anything Toshiba has to offer

[kingofgrills]

Toshiba made several highly reviewed DVD players in the past, and I currently own two of them. I also own a Toshiba 27 inch TV set that is in my bedroom. However, given the path Toshiba chose to walk in the HD format wars, I will no longer spend another dime on their products.

Toshiba, and HD-DVD, are dead to me.

DEAD!!!

[monkeytap]

It probably wouldn't be that smart since they are less experienced than other manufactures, and also will probably have more expensive parts line.

I've installed Linux on all my computers now, including PS3.

The rootkit was released by Sony/BMG Music which doesn't have anything to do with Sony Electronics who are pushing Blu-ray.
