Careful, if you read a review of the HD-A2 you will find out it doesn't support 1080p output.....the best it does is 1080i. I guess that is good if you don't have a 1080p tv, but for us that do it is a waste of $100.
"Talk about timing, as I was writing this review Toshiba announced a new player at their pre-CES press conference in Las Vegas. The HD-A20 adds 1080p output to the HD-A2’s feature-set and carries a suggested retail price of $599.99. I’ll leave the merits of 1080p versus 1080i out of the equation for the time being but suffice to say the capabilities of your display obviously come into play here. i.e. If your display doesn’t accept 1080p, how long will it be before you consider upgrading it? And of course the de-interlacing capabilities in your existing/future display."
