I thought I might be willing to invest a certain amount of money into a Toshiba HD DVD player with 5.1 analog outputs (so I can listen to 5.1 TrueHD on the handful of HD DVD discs I own, but now I'm not so sure. But maybe the money is better spent on the Blu-ray counterparts whenever they come out, which could be years if ever.

OTOH, HD DVD discs on clearance sales could be too much to resist. We shall see.

Where is your tipping point? If HD DVD movies go below USD 5, I will be very tempted to buy - Ole Lund Christensen 13:33:22 02/18/08 (1)
100 of them. That saving on movies would justify buying the player.
- At $5, I'd buy them up... but I'd probably have to be one of the first to show up at the store. - oscar 16:09:05 02/18/08 (0)
  I doubt they'd last very long at this price. The other possibility is the stores return the discs to the distributors and skip the fire/clearance sales.
  
  The other no-brainer is a sub $100 HD-XA2, HD-A35, or Onkyo DV-H805.
