Hardware, Embedded Systems 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.

Really, This entire Blu-Ray/HDDVD junk is complete nonsense, DVD's only became mainstream like ~5 years ago?

Please.. Who really "needs" HDDVD or Blu-Ray, With the DRM technology these devices make use of, You'll likely have to purchase a new player every few years if you want to watch newer movies.

Don't buy into the DRM nonsense that calls itself Blu-ray & HDDVD.

There's a term for people like you: Luddite. Whether you like it or not, DRM is here to stay. The average person has no idea what DRM is -- and doesn't care at all. DRM hasn't hindered the explosive growth of DRM'd formats such as DVD. So, really, begging people to ignore the new formats is a doomed effort. The people that produce content want to get paid, and time marches on. Everything in life isn't free. Deal with it.
