Do you want Cheap HD DVD player, check-it-out

Do you want Cheap HD DVD player, check-it-out:

I’ve never heard of Venturer but shopping channel QVC swears by them so that means they must be OK then. Right?

Anyway, the company is already selling its SHD7001 standalone HD-DVD player in the US for around $100 and next month it will go on sale over here for a so far ‘undisclosed’ but, apparently ‘amazing’ price. Think £150-£200 then.

It’s a 720p/1080i-capable machine with HDMI that will also upscale your existing DVDs to a higher resolution. It boasts support for a range of surround sound formats including Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS HD and Dolby TrueHD. There’s also an Ethernet port for hooking up to the Internet to access Web-related content that appears as Extras on some HD DVD movies. It will also be supplied with a “fantastic add on package worth around £50.00” of a HDMI cable [which should be bundled free] and two HD DVD movies, the suck-tastic Troy and Hulk.

Personally, I’d fork out £200 for a Toshiba HD-EP30 player here, which comes with 7 free HD DVD movies, including 300 and The Bourne Supremacy
