My post made reference to the Toshiba XA2. That is the big brother of the A2 (and A35).
Of the three, ONLY the XA2 has the RENON upconverting chip, widely regarded as the best upconverter cureently available on any Blu or HD DVD player.
As a bonus, the XA2 also sports 5.1 analog outs, to process advanced audio, as well as "legacy"(Dolby & DTS), in case your AVR (audio/video receiver) does not support HDMI.
