Where is Onkyo sold... Best Buy?
Nope...
How about Circuit City?
Yep!
What format did CC support in our most recent video format war?
DivX.
Hmmm, kind of makes one wonder why fools continue to exist.
Onkyo I think is a good company, but I am hearing various rumors that the Onkyo is another HD DVD player that is fully manufactured by Toshiba and is just getting the Onkyo badge. In fact, as the A35 (Toshiba) is released at about $500 the XA2 may disappear and the Onkyo may be the replacement.
It apparently is spec-for-spec identical to the XA2 but adds DTS-MA support, which is a logical upgrade.
I don't see Onkyo supporting this for very long unless it is a 100% Toshiba product which they are getting paid to put their name onto.
Heck, I've got a company! If HD DVD wants to use my company name to help promote their product at zero risk to me, I'm okay with that. Don't think it'll help their format though.
