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 :D

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

i've got an ep35 it is a fantastic piece of kit, really good upscaler. Pop over to Movietyme.com they have a sale on there HD-DVD's at the mo, well worth having a look on ebay too!

coolio, tar

That was going for £59 with 5 HD DVDs last week on iBOOD: Internet's Best Online Offer Daily

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.

are they genuin products or nock offs?

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

doh! o well thats life mate, try buying bits for a home computer your building, how quickly they go down in price is scary

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

Has HD-DVD just been killed off by Toshiba ?
I'm going for a blue-ray drive for my PC at around £85...

DunxC

P.S. Really good price tho'. Forgot about up-scaling DVD as well DOH !

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 :D

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

does it specificaly say it doesn;t come with a HDMI lead?
Mine did, but it also came with another 5 DVD's, that I had t send off for, but the HDMI lead wad in the box.

um, not sure if it does or not, got one anyway so don't have to worry :D lol

reading the reviews, it might come witht he fill in the form and send off for extra 5 as well, its sat at home waiting for me to go pen it so shall report back as and when :D

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.

hope not lol, if so ah well thats life lol

latest mention of 5 extra is 24th jan, so you may be right

i got my 5 free disks yesterday, didn't get the ones i wanted though, but still they were FREE:D:D:D
