I saw enough picture quality to change, as for sound I dont know there setup in the store was crappy. They had some really high end stuff and still sounded weak.This store is always a mess when I go in there.

for anyone interested, found for sale at Futile Shop for $700 Canadian:
Toshiba HD-DVD (HD-A1)
Doesn't look like any SACD or DVD-A compatibility.

Interesting, that's the cheaper of the 2 Toshiba models and was supposed to retail for 499 US. HD DVD's yet to arrive.

That Toshiba will retail for $499 US based upon all the research I have done. March 28 is the official launch date but until a fair number of titles are released I won't jump in. Then again, I only buy about one title per month so if they can release at least one or two that I want, maybe I'll upgrade if the picture really is so much better than ordinary DVD. FWIW, many folks at avsforum who support HD-DVD have not been real impressed with the Toshiba demo. Maybe they are being anal, I don't know. That board has been wise enough to have four forums for HD. Two for HD-DVD and two for Blu-Ray. One for hardware one for software.
I really hope it looks as good as it is hyped.

In reply to:
$300 tops and it will be well after these bozzos sort out the format war.
Amen to that. I'm waiting for CURRENT universal players to come down in price before I pick up a 29- or 3910. Hell, I'm waiting for high-def TELEVISION to not only mature but reach price/performance/reliability points I think make them worth my while. I'm just wary of the "this tech is great but there is pixellation/image burn/artifacting/light sensitivity problems/off-axis viewing radius limitations/etc. etc. etc and so forth" thing. Don't have those problems with my current set. You want me to spend 2,3,4,5 large for "superior technology" that does? Feh.
