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.
And then within months we'd have another thread complaining how Toshiba marketing strategy lead comsumers to believe their HD-DVD players would make good HTPCs.
There's no saving face for Toshiba. I hate to say it but early adopters are paying the price on this one. That is of course is the risk you take.
