No real susprise really. Toshiba aren't giving other companies much chance to keep up with their pricing, this also includes rivals, however.

That story was around last year, they didn't want to take anymore into Europe because they couldn't compete on price with the Toshiba players. Not sure why the same facts have been rehashed? Can anyone see anything new that made this reporter rewrite this? Maybe I'm missing something?

Onkyo didn't give themselves much chance charging 3 times as much for the same thing. ;)

agree, theres probably no point really them brining out a budget player, both toshiba and ventura and the like probably best left to that. they'll be better off bringing out a quality player I reckon, either hddvd or a dual/combo universal perhaps. they used to make top notch universal players at one stage. hopefully a return from them with somethign liek that some day.

It would have to be the Universal I think. About the only thing they could add to the XE1 to justify more bickies would be DTS HD MA onboard decoding.

The only problem with that is they may believe that would prevent them from selling new receivers. They were the original ones I believe, at least from my reading, that suggested that they thought the decoding was best done in the receivers about the time they were releasing new receivers.
