johnnyapallo,
with the recent HD DVD news, prices should be dropping fast. You will be able to get HD DVD's for about the same price as a standadrd def DVD....

The chip is a reon not renon. And there are some blu players that have the same chip. And you will not have to put it in the corner with the Beta player. I just cannot justify spending $700 or even $100 for something that I will not be able to use in the future. shawn

Shawn,
I stand corrected! The Reon-VX HQV® video processor is available in the high end Denon DVD-2500BTCI Blu transport, and the lower end model Samsung BD-P1200 Blu player.....
I think 700 is a small price to pay to make my standard def DVD's look better than ever. Oh yea, the 5K also plays Blu and HD DVD, so that will not be sitting in a corner
Even if I just had the Toshiba XA2 HD DVD player, I still think that would be a good investment, with it's top notch reon HQV processor your standard def DVD collection picture quality would be greatly enhanced, and the fact that you will recently be able to inexpensively build up a great HD DVD collection...
Best,
James

Yupe that is why the PS3 is still the best "bang for your buck" piece of electronics out there right now.

Its sad, but the future isnt about disks anyways. Never should have been. What we need is DVR meets downloadable/streaming data meets OnDemand. All that in one package and you have all you need. God knows, I am tired of staring at shelf upon shelf of friggin dvd disk boxes. Maybe Toshiba can find a niche for pushing tjis in their R&D now.
