If you can't find an HD DVD player because they're all sold out you'll soon have another option. Toshiba is shipping the Qosmio G35 AV650 laptop this week. It also features a 2Ghz Core Duo processor, two 100GB hard drives in a RAID setup, 1 GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 videocard and HDMI output. All that plus Windows Media Center Edition adds up to 10 lbs of weight and $3000 lighter in the pocket.

Here are some links to more info. It supports 1080p supposedly. It doesn't look like it will burn HD-DVD, just play HD-DVD.

Sorry I forgot the second link:

Also the built in tuner doesn't appear to be an ATSC tuner - what a joke. So the tuner won't pick up HD signals. That's a deal breaker for me.
