CES 2006 News: Toshiba Shows Off First HD-DVD Players
Finally, concrete evidence thats HD-DVD will actually arrive on store
shelves. Toshiba has presented two HD-DVD players, HD-XA1 and HD-A1 at
CES. The two players will land on store shelves in March, 2006. Both
models will play back HD-DVD discs at either 720p or 1080i through the
HDMI connection interface. Both players will also be compatible with
standard DVDs, with the ability to upscale standard DVDs to 720p or
1080i. This means that not only will HD-DVDs look great on your HDTV,
but so will standard DVDs. The HD-XA1 will have an MSRP of $799 and
the HD-A1 will have an MSRP of $499.
It must be noted that the HD-XA1 and HD-A1 are HD-DVD Players, they do
not record. HD-DVD recorders will be announced at a later date.

because they almost always turn out to be -- or to be indistinguishable from
-- self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free time."
