Pros
Stunning HD picture and sound.
Cons
Long load times, won't accept wireless internet connections; Bluray will win war.
Recommended it?
Yes
Let me state up front that I'm not going to discuss in detail how good or bad the picture quality of this HD DVD player is because in my experience high definition is high definition, be it from Bluray, HDTV or HD DVD, and it can depend a lot on the specific disc being watched.

Great Value and comes with seven HD DVDs
Cons
Slow boot time
Recommended it?
Yes
