Toshiba has announced the availability of its new HD-A20 HD DVD player. The player was first shown earlier this year at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and was projected to have a price tag of $599 — instead the HD DVD player will be priced at $499.
HD-DVD admirers now have a new product to contemplate. $499 is not that bad all things considered. The main downside is that it utilizes the HDMI 1.2 standard, so features like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio will be unavailable.
