Yes, but these are pricey players whose initial targets WON'T be the
mass public. DVD players now can go as low as $35, so both format
players are way beyond that in price! So the initial target will be
movie affictionados, and to THOSE people, specs matter a lot, quality
matters a lot, and geeky additions matter too (and Blu-ray wins all
that hands down). As prices come down over time (and more movies are
offered in HD), THEN we'll see mass buyings of these players - by that
time toshiba will have given up.
