Toshiba HD-EP30 with 7 free HD-DVDs, only £149.00
By all accounts, Blu-Ray may be winning the format war in terms of studio support, and indeed, both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD maybe too little too late with digital distribution moving ahead at full speed.
Nonetheless, a good deal is a good deal and that's exactly what Amazon.co.uk has in store in the form of Toshiba's HD-EP30 HD-DVD player.
Available now, you can pick up the HD-EP30 complete with no less than 7 free HD-DVDs, all for just £149. Granted, that's still not quite as low as the US where the HD-A30 can be had for $170 (£85) but it isn't a bad price for a very good player.
Format war aside, what you're looking at here is a HD player that'll play any HD-DVD discs that you may pick up somewhere down the line. But, if not, it'll still perform admirably as a DVD upscaler. Some might even call it a no-brainer.
Available now at Amazon.co.uk
*update*
The Amazon.co.uk deal is good, but Play.com now have the same deal for a cracking £119.99.
