Venturer SHD7000
Venturer believes that there is a hole in the US market, with no budget HD DVD players currently available. The Venturer SHD7000 is their answer to a budget HD DVD player, with full HD DVD support including bonus material which is available from the internet via an Ethernet port. The SHD7000 features up to 1080i output via it’s HDMI port and can also upscale / upconvert your existing DVDs to HD. Even though 1080p is not supported, TrueHD audio is. No price has been announced but as the Venturer SHD7000 is a budget player we suspect it will come in cheaper than the xbox 360 add-on drive at $180.
