Default just bought a new dvd player

Well decided to bite the bullet and buy a new dvd player.

being that blue ray are still way to expensive (in my opinion) i decided to stick with an upscalling one.

after looking around i settled on this one, which as an added bonus comes as a HD disk player as well

anyone have one of these?

Amazon.co.uk: Toshiba HD-EP30 - HD DVD Player - With 1080P Full HD3 - Plus 2 Free HD DVD's: Electronics & Photo

Wish I'd bought one of them

I decided to buy an expensive Panasonic recording DVD with a hard drive and it winds me up constantly. Too complicated and I've never once used the hard drive.

I've got an EP30. Happy with it, just not happy I paid 180 for it, before the HD-DVD crash!

that is a serious bargain. Bourne Supremacy and 300 on HD included plus upscaling. Means that thing is only about £35!

Yes, but there are plenty of films on HD-DVD which will be going cheap and for £35 you cant complain!

i know good init

hd dvd's seem to be available from around £5, so not far off dvd price, and most of the current tittles are available so wont be hurting for choice.

tbh dont think its worth paying £200 for blueray, yet anyway.

and i hadn't thought of it as £35 lol,

also, y the hell do they no longer supply the correct cables witht he damn things, i've order an hdmi cable cos i know it doesn't come with, but y not include them, grrrr

Not sure if it will. That Toshiba 5 HD-DVD thing ended 31st of Jan. Well mine did. So if they are old reviews, that could be why.
