HD DVD players are not very common now a days and are not sold in stores. To buy them online you can try auctioning sites like Ebay. There is also Amazon and Craigslist that I am sure could have these still available.
No you can play normal DVD's but the picture would be alot better if you did buy HD DVD's.
You should only buy an HD DVD player for two reasons: 1. If you can afford to buy the HD DVD player and 2. Only if you buy HD DVDs all the time and can't bear to watch it without the best quality.
Any electronic store should have HD DVD player, for example, Wal-Mart, best buy, future shop etc. It shouldn't be difficult to find one with multiple drive DVD player.
Yes you can purchase a samsung HD DVD player at Best Buy among many other stores that carry electronic goods. You can also find this DVD player on amazon for a cheaper rate.
To play a HD DVD you need a HD DVD player. A standard DVD player will not play a HD DVD, nor will a Blu-ray player. HDMI is just a connection: it won't give your standard DVD player superpowers.
The hd DVD player run in several price ranges beginning with more gadgets more money. For instance having a X-box console can cost up $299 but for a will advertise regular hd DVD player you can buy one for $42.00.
No, regular DVD players can not play HD DVDs. We need an HD DVD player. - Neeraj Sharma
No buy BLU ray it's way better quality than that HD garbage
There are probably HD TV with a built in DVD player available for purchase at major retail locations. Prices will vary with additional features and the size of the screen.
No. A blue ray disc has a blueray laser to read the HD disc. Also a blueray player needs a spinning reader to read the blueray disc. The spinning reader is also what is used to read DVD's and therefore will read DVD's. A DVD player does not need a blueray laser because the disc can be read without one. If you want a movie in HD but you don't want to buy a whole new player, you can buy a HDVD (HD DVD).A normal DVD player will read that.
An "upscaling" DVD player will have an HDMI output, as will a Blu-Ray player and an HD-DVD player (although HD-DVD is a dead format now).
For the most affordable hd dvd players I would try Amazon.com, ebay.com, walmart.com, target.com, buyelectronics.com, or, sony.com.
