Toshiba Launches First HD-DVD Player
 

Toshiba today announced that it has launched the world's first commercially available HD-DVD player, the HD-XA1. The company said that the demand for high-definition content has grown significantly, and thus consumers are demanding HD players now more than ever. Interestingly, it was just last week that Toshiba said it would be holding off the launch of the new players because it felt that the market was just not ready for HD-DVD.
