Robert, thanks for the summary; it's much appreciated and I look forward to hearing more about Toshiba's products.

In addition to the seemingly inflated 30 million total, the other statistic that looks suspicious to me is the market share date. There is no way that HD DVD+Blu Ray = 49% of the standalone players market. If the HD-DVD camp is putting out these figures thinking people will believe them they must not have a very high opinion of the intelligence of their consumers. This is just as bad as the misinformation that the BluRay supporters were spreading after the Paramount announcement about alleged bribes from Microsoft, etc.
