Toshiba HD-EP35

[admin_exported]

Looking for some balanced advice rom the WHFSAV team re the new Tosh HD DVD player. (Or anyone else with practical experience come to that). I have read the review of the machine in this months magazine and it seems mighty impressive for the money (It can be had for as little as £280 online at the moment). My question is though fr the price and the spec of the machine I would have liked to see it compared to the best Blu Ray player at the monment award winning Pioneer. As far as I can see the specs of the 2 machines are almost identical and in many ways as the Pio isnt 1.1 compatible the HD DVD player is actually better in this respect. Now at almost 600 quid cheaper can the Pioneer still be worth the cash??

Your thoughts???

As luck would have it, we've got a review of the Toshiba HD-EP35 as the lead First Test in the December issue of What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision, on sale tomorrow (Nov 15th). All will be revealed then! We've tested it against the new Blu-ray player from Sharp, the £400 BD-HP20.

Indeed it is the review I have read. My question is simple is the Pioneer a better player than the Tosh pound for pound? As the machines are very similar in spec (The Pio isnt 1.1 complicant yet) can the extra spend be justified?
