Im looking forward to these new HD players, but this player doesnt even do 1080P… No DTS HD either?
I also want to know about region coding regarding both DVDs and HD DVDs.
And according to other sources its only supposed to cost 500 bucks, not 800.
I assume this will come out in Japan for about 5 man?
Otherwise ill give this a great big miss.
Hmm i heard is Toshiba HDDVD already available from today in Japanes stores … But it is written on akihabara that from 27 april only. If it truth?
I apologize for my english.

Do you know what stores in Tokyo sell this player?
I wish ! I would love to loose some money
, But I will bet for a Yodobashi Camera in Shinjuku 
Saw this player in Yodobashi in Akiba, but they were already sold out.
Price is ineed 10 man yen.
It only plays region 2 HD DVDs and DVDs. So no multy region.
Also no actual HD DVDs out yet so theres nothing to watch on it other than upscaled DVDs.
I thought it was agreed that Japan would join Region 1 for HD DVD and Blu Ray?
I thought too… I will ask toshiba regarding that
Hehehe, I went and ordered this player.
The opportunity to start buying and watching HD DVDs now is just to great to miss.
After all, I did stop buying DVDs about 4 or 5 months ago so I need something to watch!
And hey, as the borg like to say: "Resistance is Futile"
