Just got a HD TV, now i need a player to play the HD DVD's, now as i'm looking around for some, i notice there are HDMI players for up to £100, and HD players for £150+...

According to Yahoo, HD players and HDMI players are exactly the same thing. So am i right in thinking if i buy THIS HDMI player it'll play HD DVD's just the same as a HD player would?

Any help is appreciated!

There's no such thing as an HDMI player. HDMI is the type of connection between a high definition source like an HD-DVD or Bluray player, and a high def TV.

The player you linked to is just a DVD player, it can't play high definition discs.

Ahh i see, i'm new to this HD technology so i have little knowledge on the subject. So i assume i'm gonna be needing something like this?

Do you know of any cheaper HD DVD Players by any chance?

Thanks for your help and quick response!

You only just caught me - I'm on duty until 12

Something like that player is what you need. Although that particular model is already out of date is some respects, it's a young technology. I haven't bought a player yet for that reason, as well as the fact that HD DVDs are a rip off to buy!

Thanks for saving me from wasting my money on that ordinary DVD player!

Ahh i see, i'll shop around a bit more and see what i can find. Thanks again for all your help
