Just wondering why it has an ethernet port though ?
Hi Yoda, the Ethernet port is used to do software updates for the player online.
Yeah I was gonna buy one (may still do at these prices) but its not multi region for standard dvd's and I have quite a few region 1. There is no region free hack for the player either.

Yep im thinking the same mate... did you go for the £49.99 deal ?

Blimey - thanks for the info :)
got to go for the 69.99 for 5 extra titles, to be honest all my dvd's are region 2 so im not really bothered about the multiregion bit.Quote:

Yeah I got a few region 2 dvd's so it'll be used for upscaling them as well. Its a real steal. There trying to offload as soon as they can at this price.Quote:

Anyone who is interested in one of these should also keep their eye on the Toshiba HD-EP10 seen them for £99
Theres also region free firmware available for the EP10 model

Looks like they have sold out as there is no listing for the ep30 now just the ep35. No wonder at that price they were giving them away. I know that HD DVD is dead but standard DVD's are gonna be here for a while and Toshibas dvd players are well known to be the best quality upscalers out there.:D
Yes standard DVDs aren't going anywhere for a long time the CEO for toshiba said thats where they are going to
concentrate now on second generation dvd players he said when they've finished you shouldn't be able to tell the
difference between sd dvd and hd dvd

Already bought one a little while back. But just bought another one to keep as a spare and get the discs.
