Toshiba HD-A1 HD-DVD Player
outstanding product!
I just purchased mine three days ago, and wish I had got one when they first came out.  I first played older DVDs I had around, and was amazed by the sharpness and quality of the image. <br /> <br />Last night I played my first HD DVD disk, and was blown away by the quality. <br /> <br />my unit is in my home theater.  although it starts up more slowly than my former player, who cares about an extra few minutes when you then get several hours of world-beating images?  I don't notice excessive fan noises, but if I did, I would deal with the noise and still enjoy the player. <br /> <br />Sony's player is not available, and has experienced numerous delays in bringing it to market.  I might purchase it too if and when it arrives, but why wait when you can greatly enhance your legacy dvd's, and get blown away by the hd ones now available?
