Toshiba announces HD-A20 midlevel HD DVD player

Toshiba did have a new announcement at its CES press conference today. Slotting in between the just shipped HD-A2 (~~pictured~~) and HD-XA2 HD DVD players, the HD-A20 will provide the standard feature set of the HD-A2 with the 1080p output featured in the high end HD-XA2. Hitting streets this spring, it will retail at $599, but does not include other HD-XA2 features like Deep Color support -- and presumably not HDMI 1.3 either -- or its enhanced video DAC and additional PQ settings.

Update: Added HD-A20 images

1080p is nice, but not that important if you've got a decent deinterlacer in the display device. What I'm really after from a HD-DVD player is the XA2's 6 channel analogue output; does this have it?
