Info

According to Toshiba and the HD DVD Promotion Group, there are no upgrade plans to make this player 24fps capable. That official statement includes the near future player A20 (below), which was specified also as 1080p outputs without any frame rate indication, but is meant to be only 60fps. To be more specific, Toshiba’s response about the A20 was “the specs on that player are not yet complete (as of CES Jan 07 time frame) and we cannot comment about such a feature at this time, nor it can be anticipated ‘if and how’ that feature would be upgradeable”. Some unofficial sources in forums have commented that such features “would” be added to the HD-AX2, but I discourage recommending purchasing decisions of expensive equipment on promises that are not officially backed by the manufacturer. Considering the current situation of the format war, and considering that this level of media quality is appealing to large screen home theaters with projectors with 24fps capabilities, not having such feature is a disadvantage for the format (while Blu-ray has had it since day one). It would have been in the best interest of the HD DVD format that the second generation players of Toshiba would have been positioned more strategically with competitive quality features like this, especially after Toshiba obviously recognized the competitive edge of having 1080p outputs, which the first generation of players lacked. New Toshiba Players HD-A20 $600, TTM Spring 07, HDMI for 720p, 1080i, 1080p. 1080p only as 60fps, refer to analysis above, Dolby TrueHD 5.1, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS HD core only, HDMI, component, Optical audio, Ethernet port, CD playback, Mar 07 Toshiba introduced the HD-EP10 HD DVD player for the market in Europe. Features 1080p, DTS- HD, Dolby True-HD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, HDMI output, can read HD DVD, DVD, DVD-R/RW, and CDs. Mar 07 Toshiba announced a reduction of price on their HD DVD players effective April 1, 2007, the prices will go down by $100 for the HD-A2 (to $399), $100 for the HD-A20 (to $499), and by $200 for the top-of-the-line HD-XA2 (to $799). 258
Datavision, a retailer, further reduced the prices by another $50 with an instant rebate, not backed by Toshiba. The retailer also offers purchasers of their HD DVD players the inclusion of 5 free HD DVD titles within the purchase. 259
