I too have dodged a big bullet. I was going to try to get the toshiba a35 so that I could get in on the free 7 hddvd offer this month. I just can't wait anymore. I don't want to buy any new releases on DVD since I want them in high def. So this is great news that we most likely finally have a winner (even it was Sony). If this format war was to drag on any longer it would have killed the whole thing for everyone.
Now is a great time to go with a blue ray player with Warner Bros going exclusively Blue Ray. Too bad that there isn't a decent one that is only around 300 to 400 dollars like with Toshiba. The entry level Sony blue ray doesn't even decode all of the new audio formats even though it sells for around $500 list price. I want my Blue ray player to do any excellent job upconverting DVD's. I guess I'll just have to wait for the Denon. Does anyone know when the Denon Blue ray player is coming out?
