  • HD-DVD Players Out, But Hard to Find

    “After several false starts, Toshiba has officially fired the first salvo in the race for the high-definition capable successor to DVD. Today marked the official launch of HD-DVD, the format backed by Toshiba. (The first Blu-ray Disc players, for the format backed by Sony and a slew of consumer electronics companies and studios, are due to ship in June.) Toshiba's HD-DVD players, the $500 HD-A1 and $800 HD-AX1, officially went on sale today; so too did three movie titles from Warner Home Video

    However, it would seem that HD-DVD's proponents didn't quite meet their goal of a coordinated launch between software (read: Hollywood movie titles) and players. With only those three titles from Warner now available (two of which--The Phantom of the Opera and The Last Samurai--I already have in my hands), it's not like store shelves are screaming with eye-catching content begging for buyers. More titles will be streaming into stores over the next few weeks, from both Warner and Universal Studios (the only studio still standing solely in the HD-DVD camp).

    As for players, well, based on reports on the Web, they apparently began trickling out for sale as early as last Friday. The emphasis here is on the word trickle: Even now, the day of launch, players are in scarce supply. In fact, if you're keen on finding an HD-DVD player now, good luck: You may be hunting for a while, depending upon where you live.” source: 'DittoIt' 2006-04-20
