Right NOW i have to shell out over $300 for a player that doesn't do anything my current $100 HD-DVD player can do.

$100 players is the REASON Toshiba had no manufacturer support. No business wanted to follow their kamikaze sales model. So you can't have your cake and eat it, too. If you want better industry support, you have to raise prices and get friends. If you want to try and firesell your competitor into oblivion, you have to forsake industry support.

Blu-ray is no more expensive than DVD when it was new, you're simply perceiving it as expensive in comparison to an inferior competitor that was cheaper to make, something DVD never had. And now that you've wasted hundreds of dollars on the losing format, you complain about expense? You'll end up paying the same overall in the end. I got my blu-ray player for $300, and when you get yours in two years, you'll have paid $150 for HD-DVD and $150 for Blu-ray. So you espouse savings, but you're actually quite short-sighted with money because you picked a rogue format with crap recordable capacity and lossy audio.

Is there any reason why the spec isn't completed now? I can think of only one, to get you to purchase another player in the future.

That conspiracy theory makes no sense because 2.0 makes ethernet manadatory. Ethernet, of course, is the conduit through which firmware can be updated.

That part was a joke, since i don't really care who makes what. I care that i own HD-DVD and theres nothing to watch on it.

Then why did you buy it in the first place? Brilliant consumer here, folks.
