None of the announced or planned HD DVD players will output 1080p. Most (if not all) of the Blu-ray players will. HD DVD players will be cheap because they are mass produced by the same Chinese companies that produce $49 DVD players at Walmart. Toshiba went that route in order to be first to market, a sure sign of desperation. Which would you rather have: a low-quality player or a quality-build player? By year's end, there will be only three HD DVD players to choose from, and around 10 or more Blu-ray players. There are currently about four times the number of HD DVD movies in the works for Blu-ray. Wouldn't you like to have more options? I know I would. Toshiba has consistently pushed back their product releases, each time denying and avoiding the issues. First it was November of '05, then March of '06, and now it's presumably April of '06. Will there be another delay? Woudln't be surprised! None of the Blu-ray supporters have fibbed about release dates, and have been up front about delays.
