| Review summary | The Toshiba HD-A30 is a solid third-generation HD DVD player, but for most people it's not worth the extra dough. | With its extensive digital media features, a superior online service, and an excellent game library, the Xbox 360 remains the game console to beat. | The Samsung BD-P1500 lacks some features and doesn't perform as well as the PlayStation 3, but its relatively low price makes it a solid option for those few people on a budget who still demand a standalone Blu-ray player. | Excellent soundtrack support and Profile 2.0-compliancy make the Panasonic DMP-BD50 the most recommendable standalone Blu-ray player to date, but the PS3 is still better and cheaper. | Good reception, respectable video quality, and a basic EPG make the RCA DTA800 an excellent DTV converter box, despite some slightly tricky setup snags. |
