Digital camera reviews of Toshiba HD-A35 1080p HD DVD Player
Digital camera Review: Great HD-DVD and DVD player
Summary: 5 Stars
The Blu-Ray fanboys have won but yet they still feel the need to come here and post BS reviews. Chill dudes... you won.. feel good about yourself. Go order yourself some 30 dollar Bluray movies and enjoy. Anyway.. this player is very nice. I wouldn't recommend paying this price unless you plan on buying a lot of HD-DVDs but if it ever comes down in price, it is great for both HD-DVD's and upconverting regular DVD's. I also have a 60GB PS3 and have noticed that more of my HD-DVDs look better than my Blu-Ray movies. I was quite disappointed in 3:10 to Yuma and Saw IV. Balls of Fury (don't laugh) looked much better on HD-DVD compared to those movies. And it's a combo disk! I don't get it.
The A35 is a very nice player. If you have a HD-DVD collection and are looking for a good backup player.. this is it. Has all the features you need and it looks nice. Being a home theatre enthusiast I like to watch movies on a nice stand alone player, not a game system and this player is great. I still don't get why Blu-Ray fanboys feel they need to post reviews for something they don't own. If you haven't noticed.. Amazon has posted the disclaimer that Toshiba has discontinued support for the format. I'm looking forward to a Toshiba Blu-Ray player. In the meantime my PS3 will do.
Digital camera Review: The best HD player
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this player during December of 2007. This HD player is perfect, great HD picture (up to 1080P). The sound is awesome. The player is able to bitstream True Dolby digital, DTS Master HD, and dolby digital plus. What i can not understand is that HD lost the battle with blu ray. All sony blu rays are rated as crap, it does not bitstream out, furthermore, you ca not update the player. The HD A35 can be updated. The samsung players are haveing problems playing certain blu ray disks, while the HD A-35 has absolutley no problems. The HD A-35 plays all HD disks with no problems. I have already saw about 45 HD movies, and had absolutly no problems. Its a shame that blu-ray won the HD battle. Digital camera Review: Still the best player for your money

I bought an HD-A35, and an HD-A3 in the past 60 days. The A35 is an awesome HD DVD player that will also up-convert your standard dvds to full 1080p. I also own a samsung blu-ray player, and even though I like my samsung it doesn't compare to my HD-A35 or HD-A3 for that matter. If you enjoy movies in high definition you can not go wrong with this purchase. HD DVD may be on the decline but there are still over 800 titles available for the format. You have not experienced hd viewing until you watch King Kong in glorious 1080p on your big screen TV. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this product to anyone who is a fan of movies and high definition content.Digital camera Review: Happy but still a sore looser
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this as an early X mas present for myself. (thanks honey) I based my decision to buy HD DVD over Blue Ray because It is the better format and has far superior features. I also took into consideration that Sony lost out in the Beta, mini disc and dat markets. I also felt that no matter which way the hammer fell The discs are the same just the format is different and the looser would be a firmware update away from converting their player into a dual format player (like the LG) and you wouldn't have a door stop. I have emailed Toshiba twice and the reply is that the format is different and blue ray discs won't play in it. Maybe I am wrong but could anyone tell us if this could be possible. All that we would need would be Sony's blue ray decoder ring so to speak and away we would go. Digital camera Review: Perfect HD-DVD Player
Summary: 5 Stars
HD-DVD dead? Not my collection of 45 movies. Even if I would have known that the format was dead, I didn't, when i bought it I would still have bought this player. HD-DVD movies are cheap, the good ones are released in both formats anyway, and there is a good selection of exclusives (Heroes, Transformers, BSG, Bourne Trilogy, Matrix Trilogy, The Island (gotta get it from amazon.uk) Knocked Up, Star Trek, and many others).
Also HD-DVD got it right from the start when it comes to next gen HD movies. Firmware update capable players via ethernet (Blu-Ray can't until Profile 2.0 not out until X-Mas), PIP special features or U-Control, HD-DVD/DVD combo discs, bitstream audio capable players. Blu-Ray could take a page from HD-DVD's book. If it weren't for all the movie studios switching and the PS3 and left up to the consumer; HD-DVD is far superior.
Enough venting cuz i'm upset. I will continue to enjoy my fairly large collection of movies in all the glory of 1080p and Dolby Digital TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. PS get Pan's Labyrinth for 7.1 DTS-HD MA!
