I tried to get a player yesterday and they were all sold out. They only had three from the start and two were on display. So no review from me.

I must say that it did look pretty good on a 42 inch Westinghouse monitor. There was a Mitsubishi display at over 60 inches that I had seen last week that looked like crap again. I couldn't tell the difference between HD and SD on the Mits. There are a lot of HD displys out there that suck.

Some of the Samsung offerings are awesome. I saw a 1080p DLP 61 inch model that blew me away.

Still I wasn't surprised I was the only one looking at the HD DVD player. There was a Samsung 60 inch plasma playing Kong on DVD that looked better than the HD DVD on the Mits right around the corner. I told the guy it sucked. Take it off this display your hurting sales of HD DVD with it on that display. So sad!
