Blu-ray Lands in Australia with HD-DVD Hot on its Tail


I must have been hiding under a rock for the last few weeks to miss the HD format releases in Australia
In the Connect section of Nov 1 Herald Sun reviewed Blu-rays Samsung BD-P1000 and implied it's on Harvey Normans shelves at a price tag of AU$1,599. Current states release date of Monday, 23 OctoberDigital Center is advertising AU$1,399. Current says Panasonic's DMP-BD10 Blu-ray will hit the market at the end of the month for RRP $2,749.

Meanwhile right under the review in the Herald Sun is a advertisement for Toshiba's HD-DVD the new HD-E1 due out in a couple weeks at a RRP of AU$1,099 and to be available at Harvey Norman, Retrovision and audio-visual specialist stores. Current states the Toshiba HD-E1 will hit the shelves on December 10 at Harvey Norman, Myer, Wow Sight and Sound, Retravision, West Coast HiFi and some AV specialists such as Audio Connection and Todd's Hi-Fi.

Anyone seen them instore? Anyone bought one? Any movies available yet?
Looks like I'm off to Harvey Normans in the weekend for a gander

cheers
