huh? any of the HD DVD player in the market is touted to be the best upconvert DVD player DIVX is not included yet

The Tosh HD-AX2 is considered the best upconvert DVD for 1080p so far..I guess the same model that string bought from US....but considered out of my budget limit already...plus without the divx features too..but money money is the main obstacle here

A2 also good mah ! $360 now. Toshiba has just reduced the price from $499 to $399. The A20 is now $499 down from $599 while the XA2 is down $200 from $999 to $799. The XA2 is selling at <>$580 at amazon while the A2 is selling at $330. But then you have already bought your Oppo

Opps seems like BD's declaration of format war win is greet by "exclusive" Blu-ray backer; Samsung joining the CE list of HD DVD. Two new non-toshiba HD DVD players were previewed during the CEBit show too One from Venture (touted to the the $299 or $199 format war winning player ) and one from Meridian for cars .. looks nice too that one hehehe

Darn....will be enjoying both formats in 1-2 weeks..but just happened to bump into these two news:-

1)Warner's Total HD Combo Discs Ready This Summer>>> http://gear.ign.com/articles/773/773347p1.html
" The Blu-ray storage allocations possible on the format fall short of the 50GB standard set by current stand-alone Blu-ray discs, which may lead to difficulties if and when publishers port prepared Blu-ray content to the format. On the other hand, no studios other than Warner Brothers have announced support for the format, so it might not be a problem."

2) I've had enough! Boycotting all future Warner Bros. releases!>>> http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=823585
" Uh, The Matrix has been delayed on HD DVD for a LONG time BECAUSE of Blu-ray's problems with interactivity issues. Warner probably just got tired of waiting since they promised us the Matrix to be out about 8-10 months ago. So whining about that is pretty ridiculous. Happy Feet probably should've got a TrueHD track for Blu-ray, but whining about interactive releases being delayed? Blame the Blu-ray Disc Association, not Warner. And seriously, consumer-friendly stance? You've got enough exclusive studios on Blu-ray. How about Disney takes a consumer friendly stance? By far the main reason Blu-ray is selling more is because they have more content, thanks to exclusive studios. Complaining about a few Warner releases is like getting a pony for Christmas, and whining that someone else you know got a remote control car."

Darn...the conclusion is having two formats is definitely the answer then... hope sony is not screwed up again...now, going to PM DJinn for my PS3...

lol .. you dont want to wait for the Elite version with HDMI ?

Added on March 25, 2007, 7:05 pmone more thing.. the Total HD disk would most probably be double layer HD DVD and single layer Blu-ray. Why? currently Sony is the only one doing double layer Blu-ray. The yield is too low for others to jump in.
