He answered the phone with "hello" instead of "Thanks for calling Toshiba customer support." I must have surprised him by actually being a customer. He seemed nice enough, just seemed defeated as well. I don't expect any jubilation or anything, it's just sad is all. Makes me wonder how long said support will exsist from now? After April,May???? Oh well. It truely is a great product and I'm glad I at least have it for future use when the format is no longer available.

The guy's probably worried about how long his job will last. He might know already.
Have to admit, at that price the player and a stack of cheap disks are like buying the same disks in Blu.
If the player lasts 2-3 years or more and you have films you'll watch 4-5 or more times, what's to loose?
Any one invested in red would be nuts to ditch the player and media.
