Review on 📀 Toshiba HD-A3: Experience High-Definition 720p/1080i with this HD DVD Player by Arunprasath Corso

I bought this unit after Toshiba announced they were phasing out HD-DVD. What, am I crazy? Well, I got the unit for a little over a hundred with two free DVDs ("The Bourne Conspiracy" and "300"). I then bought the HD DVD Collector's Editions of Blade Runner, Planet Earth, 2001 and U2 Rattle and Hum for less than half the price of the Blu-ray versions. I was surprised at how well the scaling performed on standard DVDs. An A/B comparison with my 5 year old Sony player at 720p showed a significant improvement with the Toshiba. I'd say somewhere in a good way, halfway between SD and HD. I downloaded all the visually interesting DVDs from the Sony carousel and happily downloaded them one by one to play. There are no problems with A3 yet. Loads and unloads in 15-20 seconds, plays HD and SD discs with no issues. I persuaded my neighbor to buy one so we can swap HD DVDs. And if one of our A3s fails, we have agreed to share the remaining unit for HD DVD playback. I feel like I got a lot for my money considering everything. Of course, if you don't care about money.
