... that I didn't already own in HD. The model purchased was the HD-D3, which only outputs to 1080I, but is perfect for our Mitsubishi DLP projector. I also discovered that it's eligible for 5 more free HD titles (from a selection of 15), several of which I would've eventually purchased. So, now I have a back-up HD-DVD player that cost even less than the discounted prices of the 7 free HD movies; that's a pretty good deal any way you look at it! :o)

Toshiba's HD-DVD players seem to upscale better than most commonly sold upscaling players on the market at this price-point, so the competition shouldn't be too hard to handle, especially with the HD-DVD perks offered. Note: The Toshiba HD-D3 player's upscaling ability is in Oppo territory (the Swiss Army knife of players).
