Where is everyone else? Where are all the other manufactures?

Some of the industry tech news indicates upcoming HD DVD players will be released by: HP, SANYO, and perhaps LG, as well as future 2nd/3rd generation players and recorders by TOSHIBA and others [more announcements to be made this winter going into January's 2007 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas]. Also, MICROSOFT is adding an HD DVD plug-in drive this winter to their popular XBox 360 game unit. Also, TOSHIBA just released a deluxe HD DVD Recorder in Japan [up to 130 hours of HD can be recorded], for around US-$3500, but no USA availability date has been announced as yet.

Actually, there is. We just got some in stock today, and will be creating an Amazon listing for it tomorrow. I will post the information tomorrow once the product page is live.

I'm sorry but there isn't one. I'm serious. I have no idea why they took this wonderful product off the market.

I'm sorry to say the company was sold and they don'make the machine anymore. I can only guess it's going to be difficult to find. Good luck to you.

The unit is manufactured where else, China. Ugh! It's likely made by a contractor who represents a wide swath of Brands.

AP- I hope you are wrong but that is a good explaination. I notice that both Frys and Amazon are "sold out" while other stores such as CompUSA show they have them on the shelf. I'd rather wait for Amazon to buy this through. I'm a long time Amazon customer and they have yet to let me down on any item. That kind of customer service will keep me waiting for Samsung to work it all out. It's nothing I'm going to lose sleep over. But..interesting post nonetheless!

Andrew, few of us spend time on ice blocks, horseshoes or ditto machines any more, and that didn't wreck the economy. On the plus side, think of all the oil that'll be saved from not shipping little plastic things from the other side of the planet. There is one being developed, in Massachusetts, that'll make electronics (circuitry). China's 3D printing housing and one's being printed in Amsterdam. Whoosh! Time flies!

I presume they are all made overseas. I have three now and one has lasted forever.

I am wondering the same thing! I have been looking around Amazon and haven't found one yet. I was thinking about going to an actual store to look for one. Have you found one since your last post?

HIGHLY doubtful, though I'm no expert. I do know each manufacturer uses proprietary tech, in order to force you to buy their brand. Sometimes there are off brands which are cheaper, sold as matching that manufacturer's specs however. "Buyer beware" rules apply.

I don't have that particular model any more, but my guess is that it is. The large majority of these lower end models are made there.

Mfr's change their brands all the time. They probably are renaming it or changing the label. We show it as a phaseout with 11 in stock.

I do not know if you have your answer yet, but I found that info on Amazon when I bought mine. It was in one of the customer comments. I honestly don't remember, and I have no idea where they all are now.

Sorry -- I don't either. Check the users manual -- I think most parts are not available individually.

Bet you can"t guess... where else but China. Have it about a year and works flawlessly. All I have seen are made there.

It doesn't matter where it's made FFS. If it works, buy it. Stop thinking locally and start thinking globally. If all you care about is BillyBob from Podunk USA and BillyBob makes P0S products, then only you are to blame for buying from BillyBob.

It's all a suppy vs. demand! They just stop making it like so many other products.
