Toshiba pushes firmware 3.0 update to first-gen HD DVD players {Engadget HD}
May 8th 2008 7:56PM ^ contrast the above with the $400 I have invested in a PS3 (which came with 1 movie and 5 by rebate) and the several hundred more dollars I spent to have blu-ray in my laptop. Two set-tops, and two PC solutions. One cost $80 and came with a useful remote and 13 movies. One costs $700+ and came with 6 movies. The only advantages my BD hardware offers are gaming (PS3) and mobile movies from disc (BD-rom laptop). The latter benefit is by no means exclusive (since I can rip hd-dvds to my home server or laptop via the add-on drive); it's just more convenient.
I'm happy with my investments in both technologies. I'm just happier than I expected to be with my hd-dvd purchases, since the hardware cost me practically nothing and my hd-dvd movie collection (I've got about 80 titles split roughly equally between formats) costs considerably less the my blu-ray one.

May 8th 2008 7:43PM I bought the same two players ... but since I bought them from Amazon (with Prime) I also got $100 back from them. My total investment in hardware stands at just $80. That's an HD-A30 for about $176 (reduced to $129 via price protection) and an X-box add-on (reduced to $49) with a better, backlit remote for my HTPC. Less $100 due to the customer satisfaction rebate initially offered by Best Buy and matched by Amazon. And oh, yeah - 13 free movies. Above poster forgot to mention the two that came with his HD-A30 and King Kong that came with his add-on.

Apr 16th 2008 5:52PM I already have 2TB's attached to my DirecTV DVR. Probably would only hold 60 1080p movies, though (currently holds 200+ at 1080i).
