2G HD DVD players announced - HD-A2 & HD-XA2: $499 & $999
From Gizmondo: “Toshiba’s HD DVD press conference at CEDIA 2006 just ended and the first big news is out. It appears we will be getting the same players announced in Europe recently, named the HD-A2 and HD-XA2, this fall. They both feature the new slim design — hopefully a sign of dedicated hardware as opposed to the stripped-down laptop that made up the HD-A1 — and the XA2 will feature an HDMI 1.3 output with 1080p.”
