The Toshiba HD-A30 1080p/24 player costs 249$ with 10-12 free movies.

"Overall, we couldn't help but feel that the HD-A30 was extremely similar to its predecessor--the HD-A20--which isn't a good thing, as 1080p output on both players is disappointing. Don't get us wrong, there's a lot to like about HD DVD hardware compared to Blu-ray hardware, such as its lower cost and stronger mandatory requirements. And if your HDTV can accept and properly display 1080p/24, the HD-A30 delivers excellent picture quality as well. The problem is that the vast majority of HDTVs can't handle 1080p/24 properly, which means that for most people, the HD-A30 just doesn't justify the price premium over the HD-A3. "

They actually say that the image quality is excellent if your TV handles 1080p/24 correctly. Though they worded it strangely, they are saying that the disappointing image quality is due to problems with various displays... not the A30.]]>Dec 10th 2007 10:20AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/
Funny that the Samsung BD-P1400 has a lower rating on cnet (5,4/10) compared to the HD-A30 (6,5/10). If the HD-A30 is a "disappointment" then what makes that the BD-P1400?

I was referring to the CNET review ... there is no CNET review for the BD-P1400.

If you're going to spit a few unauthenticated user reviews as your source then at least fess up to it and don't pretend it's actually CNET saying it.

BTW, Consumer Reports rated the Blu-ray players as better then HD DVD, noting that the Blu-ray stand alone players came from a diverse field of high-end CE companies.

I guess Blu-Ray crowd is really in a huge problem with these hardware sales and prices.


Here don't cry too much!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/electronics/172514/ref=pd_ts_e_nav

1, 2 and 4th place in DVD players goes to ALL 3 3rd gen Toshiba players A3, A30, A35.. $198, $249, $349... Talk about DESTRUCTION..

It's so laughable to even discuss Blu-ray standalone hardware sales.. If you think that CE companies will go below $300 on Blu-ray player you are smoking some heavy crack. That's EXACTLY why they joined BDA in hopes of avoiding. If they have to make sub $300 players, they might as well release HD DVD standalones as there's still plenty of room in mid-range HD DVD space.

Some people just lack the ability to live in the real world and not some Blu fairytale.]]>Dec 8th 2007 11:44PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/Dec 8th 2007 11:54PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/
#2. Amazon doesn't make the sales. They're given the sales by manufacturers. They are giving away $400 in HD movies if you buy a player. You think Amazon decided to offer that on their own. LOL. Another laughable delusion perpetuated by HD-DVD Propaganda.

It's ok, it will all be over very soon.

Um... CES Jan 7th!

I know you have to fight to justify your purchase but let me assure you, your collection and player will be obsolete and discontinued in less than a month. Sorry! Deal with it!

Great post.

To top it off, the A3 is #8 bestseller in ALL of electronics, with the A30 at #20, and the A35 still making the top 100.

No PS3 or Bluray player on the ENTIRE electronics top 100 list.

But of course the largest online retailer on the planet doesn't matter according to the Blue side. Just like how their precious Nielsen numbers don't count sales from Wal-Mart, the largest retail store on the planet.

But who cares about any of that right? Go Blue!]]>Dec 9th 2007 12:35AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/

Don't make up crap to make yourself look good. Why is it so important that "your" format is selling more? You go and take the HOURLY sales from amazon and throw that at people. Why not eat some of your own dog food and look at the all time best sellers on Amazon for dvd players (http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=amb_link_5737512_14?ie=UTF8&node=172514&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=gp-center-4&pf_rd_r=1R1ZTA6J39AW3TX15JAK&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=320161801&pf_rd_i=1065836). The BD-P1400 is the best selling HD players at rank 19 with the HD-A2 coming in at 21... that's a LONG way back in sales on normal DVD players so nothing for anyone to get too excited about.

I seriously don't know how you guys can devote so much time to responding to every article and fighting with each other so often.

Regarding the warner rumor... I guess your memory is short. Warner bluray rumors are 6 months old, and dont forget that HD-DVD fan who scammed you a few months ago on blu-ray.com

Currently their are 4 HD DVD players miles in front of this on amazon, the top 3 items are all cheaper HD DVD players.

Sammy has seen the writing on the wall and are bailing out while they can and at $300 it's still to expensive, just like the Titanic, clearing the decks b4 the BR ship sinks.

Hmm ... curious, are there any respected CE companies making HD DVD players? Nope. :/

Last I checked Blu-ray is still outselling HD DVD 2:1 in the US and much more world wide. So if no one is buying Blu-ray players, how are they outselling HD DVD so furiously? ... hmm maybe they have like a 100 disc per player attach rate?

IMO, the BR business model is seriously flawed and you cant base the future of your business on a games console as i have stated very recently.
First and foremost though, I don't support BR because, and i quote a previous post,... "personally, I have a problem with a company that installs viruses onto legitimately purchased CDs, a company that intentionally starts a format war and tries to extort people into paying up too $1000 for a DVD player, a company that withholds content in order for them to jack prices up, a company that tells more lies, untruths and spin than the rest of the CE manufacturers put together, a company that has formed a conglomerate to intentionally rip off the public with their BR monopoly, a company that has an abysmal record with treating their customer base with contempt.

But hey, that's my opinion, you keep supporting sony, obviously you are happy overpaying for an obsolete 1.0 profile DRM infested BR DVD player that can't handle next generation extras, that's your choice too be such a blind sheep."

End of discussion for me, i don't want to be a blog hog and your obvious, uninformed teenage ranting is becoming embarrassing, instead I'll look forward to you "smacking me down" at another post.

I've had some issues with a few movies, and all of them have been fixed through firmware updates. Really, not that different than many HD DVD issues. Moreover, I don't care one lick for PiP or online interactivity (or really, for extras at all). I just want great sound and great video, and the P1400 can provide that, right now. 1080p picture that looks good, DTS HD MA sound, plus a very reasonable price = a player I'm happy to own.

But that's just my two cents.]]>Dec 9th 2007 1:43PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/
This definitely is a good time for you to check out of the discussion .. cause you simply can't win.

Keep watching the stats, sales figures, and market share ... that's all the discussion you really need ... and it's been saying the same thing all year long ... Blu-ray is the preferred hi def format in the USA by 2:1 ... and worldwide by even more.

The future is Blu :)]]>Dec 9th 2007 5:12AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/
The only thing that BDA has to sell in volume is the PS3. When they sell THAT at $199 with 10 free movies, then they've got something. This is just hype, sold out soon. Probably closing it out ahead of the BD-UP5000 dual player which comes out next week. Yup, that's right, Samsung is going neutral.]]>Dec 9th 2007 4:03AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/Dec 9th 2007 4:36AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/
It took the Blu camp all the way until December 8th, 2007 to offer up a sub $300 player -- AND IT'S STILL ONLY PROFILE 1.0!

Even "Sybil" isn't online to cheer for this one.]]>Dec 9th 2007 5:34AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/
Anyway, Fry's Electronics retail store nearest me also had this Samsung player for $299.99. I thought it was a mistake until I then noticed it on Amazon as well. Of course, I just ordered an HD DVD/Blu-ray combo drive for my HTPC for $299.]]>Dec 9th 2007 7:37AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/Dec 9th 2007 11:15PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/12/08/samsungs-bd-p1400-blu-ray-player-sinks-below-300/
My personally favorite, the Warner rumor that they are holding to save their life.

*yawn*

I wish they were a little more creative, their FUD is starting to bore me and isn't funny any more, in fact it is starting to get stale and just pathetic.]]>Dec 9th 2007 8:44AM
