I ought to just smack you two. :) BD is in beta. That's a fact. It's not a standard yet. Stating that doesn't make me an HD DVD fanboy. :P Although, I will admit that I was shocked to hear that you thought that HD DVD is the superior technology.
Anyway, I'd offer myself as that "red balance" that you talked about, but I don't see where that would matter. I think that the most that Toshiba can do at this point is to go into maintenance mode to support HD DVD as a legacy format. Unless Toshiba does something completely unexpected and innovative to spur sales (by something other than a Super Bowl ad), I don't see how it can recover. So be it.
As for reviews, how about reviewing one of those new dual-format drives for PCs, like the LG model GGC-H20LI? People who are looking to building a high-def HTPC might be interested to see what you think about that, especially now that they're less than $300.
