The percentage of electronics at the end of their lives which were recycled.
The EPA found that the percentage remained consistent from 1999-2005. Even as recycling rates went up, the amount of electronics reaching end of life outpaced the increase, leaving the figure static. (source: EPA, July 2008)

Fantastic, I'll update both my players, what great support , but I just wish Tosh had kept Universal and Paramount in bed maybe and kept production going small scale, a small niche market with cheap discs, drives and a few movies, it would have been OK and who knows what the downloadable side of the format might have evolved into.
All the ranting from the Blutards against HD DVD, but they just don't realize what a quality product HD DVD was/is.
Toshiba realized HD media wasn't going to rule the world, they saw it as an addition to DVD, sony has tried to take the world over with blu, it will never be the dominant format and has just cost everyone including themselves a shit load more than it should have.
Hahaha, a true sony hating fanboy!
I am glad that the technically better format worn just to watch you sore losers :)
They are still fixing the epic glitches the players had and that is a moment of celebration for you? :D

Lets stop suckin on that Toshiba sausage there. HD DVD was good, but their players continue to have their share of issues. I still get "No disc" messages from my HD A3 (third gen, mind you), which forces me to open and close the tray... that's like 28 minutes before the movie is finally playing. HD DVD had playback issues with movie titles, and would have continued to have them if the studios didn't drop it like an ugly chick.
The ONLY reason you went HD DVD (and admittedly me as well) is because they firesold the shit out of their players last year. While you continue to act like a sore ass fanboy about something as stupid as a format choice, some of us rational folks will enjoy our movies in all the HD PQ and audio goodness that BD offers. Enjoy the re-runs on your HD DVD player.
Anyone would think Blu-ray never used firmware updates to improve their playback.
Of course it's good Toshiba continue to refine their playback.
But on every a/v forum I ever saw this "jaggies" issue had to be looked for and pointed out.
So it obviously wasn't the massive problem some want it to have been.
I've yet to read of the Blu-ray player that does not have 'issues' with some discs.
