NOT SO GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS PLAYER
-It is not as fast to turn on as a regular DVD player (it takes a few more seconds to load).

About HD DVD:
HD DVD is the next generation format for home video. It puts together an unbeatable package of elements unparalleled anywhere:

-The best strategic technological choices, meaning HD DVD takes full advantage of both audio and video next-generation of data compression making important concerns like disc space and bandwidth a thing of the past.
-No more region coding! Global distribution is here: be free to watch whatever you want. Be free to buy whatever you want, wherever it is available.
-Need something else the disc does not provide? Download it to your player. Additional subtitles or soundtracks, additional exclusive extras, offers and whatever!
-Advanced extras here and now! HD DVD brings you an unprecedented array of new extras on the titles you love.
-Finalized specs. No need to wait for future profiles. No need to worry that a movie will have any special feature not supported by your player (unlike what happens with other Blu-formats). ;-)
-Price: full retro-compatibility with DVD makes the HD DVD technology easier and faster to author, produce, replicate... therefore more affordable.
This player is an offer you cannot refuse.
Digital camera Review: Best HD DVD player for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to go with a 47" 1080p Westinghouse LCD and I was totally impressed with the image quality, for both HD DVD's and standard DVD's upconverted to 1080p. Too bad, everyone's bailing on the HD-DVD format and supporting Blu Ray...well, at least this unit can play regular DVD's and DVD-Audio.Digital camera Review: Best Hi-Def player available
Summary: 5 Stars
Update 12/11/07 - I've had this player a little over a month now. I have to say that I'm very impressed. This has replaced my "old faithful" HD-A1, which didn't give me any problems, but felt like it took an hour to boot. :) This player is noticably faster and handles everything I throw at it.
At the lower price it's being sold at now, it's a steal.
Pros:
I have this player hooked up to a Denon AVR-3808ci and I love the bitstream audio.
The player is much faster than previous models and is also faster than my Samsung BD-P1200.
Upconversion is also very very good.
Cons:
Expensive for an HD DVD player. Almost as expensive as the cheapest blu-ray players.
Digital camera Review: Buy a HD DVD and put blu ray out of its misery!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was contemplating buying the HD-X2A, but after reading a bunch of reviews I went in for the HD-A35.
Picture and sound quality is simply amazing ..I don't regret buying this player.
Setup was simple, upgrading the firmware was no problem. It does take a little time to load but its not a big issue. Upconverted regular dvd's just fine. Warners will go exclusive after this holiday season.
Overall...Hd dvd will be the dominant format in 2008.
