I recently bought a HD-A30 HD DVD Player from Toshiba after the announcement that Bluray won. I was not going to buy a HD DVD player but I was in the market for a Upconverting DVD Player as I cannot afford a bluray player at these prices. I then discovered that the HD DVD player was also a great upconverting player for DVD's. So I decided to get it as it came with 2 free HD DVD Movies and the offer for 5 more free hd dvd movies plus like I said before it does a great job of upconverting regular DVD's better then the upconverting DVD players on the market and it was discounted at $150. My only problem is that it does not support DIVX like all the other upconverting dvd on the market. Even Toshiba's upconverting dvd player the SD-6000 has DIVX. The HD DVD does and plays everything so far with no problems. I confirmed the no DIVX by calling Toshiba. I thought that since the players have Internet conectivity that it coluld get a firmware update to support DIVX but no support was added. The lady on the phone says DIVX was built in that is why there is no DIVX support for it. I say bullshit as my Xbox 360 got a firware upgrade for DIVX and so did the PS3. Ultimately the lady behing the phone was a screen reader as I threw all sorts a technical questions at her and she was so stumped. I should have her job. Is she telling the truth?
