Geeks.com sent us in a next generation DVD player, the Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player. The model is the little brother of the HD-XA2 with fewer features, but it's the only HD player that sells at $230 while using the newer, second generation HD-DVD technology.

$2300 is still a lot of money for most people. The HD-DVD player I am reviewing is for consumers who never invested more than $1000 on their TV. That's where the "budget player" comes in. I don't understand why you slap in the face this and that, YOU around here, YOU who read this web site are all geeks! Geeks want the best of the best all the time -- even if sometimes they don't have the money for it. But this player I reviewed, is a BUDGET one, it's the cut-off version of the HD-XA2 model. And people who will buy this player, don't make more than $70 ,000 a year and they definitely don't buy XSRDs every 6 months. They have a TV, and they stay with it. Don't let the "geek side" of you start thinking that people have 1080p TVs. People DO NOT have 1080p TVs. Very few do.
And I wasn't rude. Rude, was the person I was replying to. If you had someone replying to you that way, you would have reacted the same way. Cut me some slack here.
