Are all those free movies worth buying this HD DVD player?

bytechnologyrep Nov 27, 2007
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Stunning HD picture and sound.
Cons Long load times, won't accept wireless internet connections; Bluray will win war.
Recommended it? Yes

Let me state up front that I'm not going to discuss in detail how good or bad the picture quality of this HD DVD player is because in my experience high definition is high definition, be it from Bluray, HDTV or HD DVD, and it can depend a lot on the specific disc being watched. I will touch on it a... Read full review »

Great play back! Slow boot!

Pros Great Value and comes with seven HD DVDs
Cons Slow boot time
Recommended it? Yes

I've taking a side and I've picked HD-DVD. Don't know anything about the different technicalities between Blu-Ray and HD DVD, but frankly from what I've seen in electronic stores both looks the same - stunning sharpness, clarity and brightness. HD DVD is the cheaper format from the two (less than... Read full review »

HD-DVD May Be The Next Betamax-So Why Did I Buy One Anyway?

byBruguru Jan 20, 2008
60 Helpfuls 61 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Crisp, vivid lifelike picture and sound. Upconverts standard DVDs. Rock-bottom price.
Cons Slow playback, limited formats.
Recommended it? Yes

Have you ever heard of the Betamax? If you haven't, that's OK. Betamax, a video cassette system for recording programs off the air and for viewing purchased and rented videotapes was Sony's answer to JVC's VHS recorder. Although Betamax was actually a superior product, it lost the all-out struggle... Read full review »

Toshiba HD-A3 HD-DVD Player with HDMI - Stunning Images, But Still Work In Progress

bydkozin Nov 25, 2007
30 Helpfuls 31 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Low price, amazing video and sound, 1080i over HDMI and component out, firmware update
Cons Delays, does not play many formats, slow firmware updates, stutters on small scratches
Recommended it? Yes

I wanted to get a high-definition DVD player to complement my Hitachi P50H401 50-inch 1080p-capable plasma TV. Despite the fact that the war between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD is far from over and my overall preference for Blu-Ray (mostly due to movie availability in this format), I was driven to buy the...
