Toshiba's HD-XE1 1080p HD DVD player arrives at last

[Bob Crabtree]

Toshiba's 1080p-outputting HD DVD player, the HD-XE1, is at last available in the UK, pitched at an all-up suggested price of £650 but already selling online from a number of outlets, including Amazon UK, for a few quid over £500.

As well as being the first-available 1080p HD DVD player (well, Tosh is the prime mover of the format), the HD-XE1 also betters its cheaper stablemate, the £320 HD-E1, by having the latest version of HDMI - V1.3 - and a number of extras.

More.

nice, but like most people, think I will wait until dual format players come out.
