"I bought it. Good picture quality, didn't find out it was 1080i only, until I got home a tried it(Toshiba website has a 1080P sticker on it's webpage) no markings on the box either. Tried a few dvd's and some would not even play even after updating the firmware. Started playing HD DVD's and noticed the movies would freeze or skip at around the 1:16 to 1:30 mark on most. Did some reading on other forums and found that this is a common problem that can either be resolved by exchanging the player or the movies. It sounds like the technology in the hardware and movies are not making ends meet. Also boot up and ejecting takes forever. In all I was not able to feel like I was getting a reliable product, it's still bleeding edge, all you have to do is look on the Toshiba website http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/hddvd/ go to support and then FAQ's. I returned it as it seems to be unreliable."
