I just looked at the Tosh HD DVD player at WalMart

75.40.228.142

YECH

I was ready to pull the trigger BUT
couldn't find 5 HD DVDs that interested me.
They had the High Def rack split between Blue Ray and HD DVDs.
Ah well I save 300 bucks.

Simple. Use Another Retailer That Stocks More Titles - Robertc88 03:28:20 12/10/07 (0)
Circuit City or Best Buy to name a few. These offers for freebies for movies with the purchase of a player run almost constantly.

Toshiba is offering 5 free HD-DVD's from a list via mail as well. You might just pick the ones from Wally World that you at leat "might" like and pick 5 more from Toshiba's list. I'm sure you'll come up with at least a few you "really" like.

It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word you're saying.
Pretty sad, isn't it. - jsm 10:16:57 12/09/07 (0)
Yes, what a dismal bunch of discs they have to offer "free." I couldn't find any that I wanted to watch once, let alone own. That player sold for as low as $172 over the Thanksgiving holiday. It will be back there again. For me the only reason to buy it is for renting discs, and at that price it's hard to go wrong. It will be back down before long.

The most surprising discovery for me since buying a HD TV set is finding all the superb old movies being shown in HD over Dishnetwork. Each year I find fewer and fewer new releases that interest me, but there seems to a very large number of great films from the past being transferred to HD for broadcast, but not available on discs yet, if ever. I just saw a very fine Japanese movie starring Mifune in an excellent HD transfer that I had never heard of before. I don't think it was even released in the US.

It is a decent way for an HD newbie to start a collection... - oscar 06:38:42 12/09/07 (0)
to go with the cheap hardware. For me it's a reasonable investment, probably less so with J6P given the list prices of movies.

If I'm starting anew, I'd possibly wait until CES 2008 to see what Warner's et al have to say, if anything, about the "State of Blu-ray/HD DVD.
