Mar 18th 2009 5:57PM April 1st Sharp release their LC32DB60U - 32" Aquos 1080p with a built in blu-ray player. No nonsense, $999 on Amazon.
I'd expect the current model (no blu-ray) LC32D64U to drop in price when that shows up, maybe you could grab a deal.

How to future proof your HD DVD collection {Engadget HD}
Feb 22nd 2008 9:37AM Just picked up a HD-A35 for $170 from Tiger. 9 Free movies (not all good) but now my HD-A2 becomes a backup unit.
HD DVD deathwatch: we're making it official {Engadget}
Feb 15th 2008 8:12PM HD-DVD has lost, lets see if Blu-Ray can win though, it's got a much bigger foe to fight yet: DVD.
HD-DVD & Blu-ray combined had less than 1% of the home video market, and while HD-DVD's pricing was on-par with DVD ($99 for a player, an Oppo Up-converting player costs that much!) Blu-Ray players are still out of average consumers price range.
I own a HD-DVD player, I basically got it for free. ($99, 7 free movies = free player.)
I won't be buying a Blu-ray player until it's under $200.
For now though, Cheap HD-DVD's FTW!

Warner Home Video to support Blu-ray exclusively? {Engadget HD}
Oct 30th 2007 10:16AM I can't find anything in the article to suggest that in re-evaluating their support of both formats they were going to choose Blu-ray. In fact, if they're talking about hardware prices having reached a point where consumers "no longer wanted to decide" then I can only assume they're talking about HD-DVD and their sub $200 player. http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/highdefdigesthddvdnews/%7E3/176734124/1116
If it's true that Warner Brothers Blu-Ray contract expires on October 31st (Xyzzy mentioned it above), then I suspect it'll actually go the other way. With Universal, Warner, and Paramount all supporting HD-DVD exclusively coupled with a cheap entry level player...
This is now Blu-ray's war to lose. This holiday season could get pretty exciting.
Toshiba drops HD DVD MSRP, effective 4/1/07 {Engadget}
Mar 20th 2007 12:09PM I hope retailers drop the price by the same amount, Amazon is selling the HD-A2 for $350 right now, another $100 price drop would make it a nice little way to spend $250.
I'd pay the extra $50 over the 360 addon for a proper Set-top.
Wiimote and nunchuk used to play House of the Dead 3 {Joystiq Nintendo}
Mar 19th 2007 9:12PM This is a great use of the controller, and House of the Dead isn't a bad game either. Compare these videos to your experiences of Red Steel and I'm sure you'll agree it looks a lot more fun.
