Toshiba, with the internet upgrade features of all it's HD-DVD players, should create a firmware upgrade that would turn them into network/internet media boxes. Let me use mine to access shared music, photos and video off my home network. Let me access and view web based videos. Add a web browser and let me use it to view the WWW on my HDTV.

Now THAT would be a way to save face. I'd even spend extra money on an upgrade remote with some keyboard/mouse features for web browsing.
