The new HD-DVD players are purchasable but the first generation of HD-DVDs from Warner Home Video, which were supposed to be out 3.28, are on hold for two or three weeks. Due to some technical bureacratic bug manifestation...what else? (With every new product there are always has cockups and delays...has it ever not been so?) "To be honest, the outlook is tenuous," said WHV division president Ron Sanders. "We're still coming out with an initial slate, but we may be a week or two later...we just don't know." The cheapest Toshiba HD-DVD player so far is the HD-A1, whcih is selling for $499.99 at Amazon.com. Toshiba is also offering a souped-up model, the HD-XA1, for $799.99.
