In Reply to: RE: Will HD DVD be the new Betamax ? posted by chris.redmond2@bushinternet.com on December 15, 2007 at 10:33:35:
The price difference between players is almost gone, if you want 1080p and the new models.
It is now USD 233 versus USD 280 on amazon.com and the Toshiba is not selling well anymore.
So a lot of people now fear that Toshiba HD DVD is the next Betamax.
Is is safer to pay USD 280 for the Samsung BD-P1400 player.
