Toshiba HD Players are $250

I saw an ad for a Toshiba HD player for $250 with 5 movies too. (google Toshiba, HD DVD $249 free movies and you should find it)

HD-DVD is getting scarce

But you'll be using it as a doorstop in about a year, mark my words.

Yawn... Who cares about DRM players

I will stick with regular DVD until someone cracks the DRM. Want to see a better picture on your TV? Get better movies! The hardware improvement is insignificant when you factor in the DRM.

Already has...

The HD-DVD and Blu Ray is already cracked. Products like AnyDVD already support the newer formats. However, finding an affordable drive for your computer is a little more difficult.
