Robert Zohn from Value Electronics over at AVS, who is a super reliable fellow has spilled the beans on a THIRD player from Toshiba:

TOSHIBA HD-A20

“Here's a heads-up that tomorrow Toshiba will be showing their third new second generation HD DVD player, the HD-A20.

The A20 will output resolutions up to 1080p at 24 or 60 fps, like the XA2.

No 5.1 analog output and lower priced than the XA2, Toshiba has rounded off their G2 models with a good, better, best selection.

I don't expect Silicon Optix's Reon processor for the A20. MAP is $599.99. More details to come tomorrow when the CES show opens.

That`s rather odd spec and price wise, sitting itself firmly in between the A2 and XA2…. Is the A2 about to drop in price to compliment this third player?


In other news, LG's dual format player is now listed at Best Buy's website for $1199.
