And Toshiba/Onkyo/Integra doesn't carry quite the same weight as Pioneer/Panasonic/Sharp/Phillips/Denon. An interesting side question: Does name brand really mean anything anymore ?

Toshiba is trying to reach out to the mass market; it'll be interesting to see how well the "mass market" will respond to definitely high software and still high hardware costs on a format arguably no better than upsampling DVD players with mediocre and/or smaillish HDTVs.

kind of like Sony denying that there would be a price drop in the PS3.
Amir does do a bit of PR, but he seems to be right more often than not.
Price IS the biggest obsticle. We'll see if people are interested in HD if the price drops.
I've said it before, that its quite possible the masses won't buy into HD at all, in which case both will be niche products.
