HD DVD is the obvious choice for now. Hey, Tommy - since the HD DVD player plays back DVDs anyway, if I were buying now I'd consider it.

I think this is the key. If you are looking for a DVD player, particularly an upconverting one... the Toshiba is not a bad choice IMO. Sure you can buy an OPPO for a couple hundred bucks, but look what I did... I bought the Denon 3910... not an inexpensive choice. Granted I only paid dealer cost for it, but still not cheap. I did sell it and my net was $725.73 after shipping and Paypal fees... so I pretty much broke even on it. The key for me though, is the Toshiba offers me more viewing pleasure than the Denon did. It still plays my SD-DVDs and although I haven't tried one yet... I understand they look pretty good and the Toshiba does a good job upconverting those (again I cannot qualify that statement, hearsay only.) The drawback is more costly DVDs for that extra viewing pleasure. Fortunately I have a little change left over (the Toshiba cost me $443 shipped - net of $725 on the Denon = $282 left over for HD-DVDs).
All of this is Wayde and Bob's fault too... (as a result of one of your threads Wayde and your review post on the BD Bob)... so I got somebody to blame if it don't work out!
You both twisted my arm... threatened me, would have beat me up had I not done this... I would have never heard the end of it I'm sure.
