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.

True but that wasn't the main reason for it, it would have been used for extra content for hd dvds something that costs extra with blu ray

mines on its way cant wait to get it now, hopefully for the weekend

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

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

Yeah went for the full monty, that being the £69.99 with 7 hd dvd's included. I even couldn't resist Carlitos Way at £14.99. One of my favourite films of all time.
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.
to be honest i dont think they will last long, at that price its a steal.

Blimey - thanks for the info
Already bought one a little while back. But just bought another one to keep as a spare and get the discs.
showing 119.95 on play dot com,where is the 49.99 jobbie anyone please
thanks m8s
No one said the HD-EP35 was anywhere for 49.99 this thread is about the HD-EP30 which I have already said above are still
available at amazon

The £49.99 jobbie is now sold out m8. I got mine today. Nice machine, real good quality. The HD DVD's look great and I can see no difference between the blu ray I have on the ps3 and the hd dvd. The menu transitions just like the blu ray are really cool. Up scaling works well and standard dvd's look pretty good. I have just backed up one of my region 1 dvd's and put it on a blank disc to try on the upscaling and it looks real nice. Great machine at a bargain price and now waiting for the 6 hd discs.
