There are many features of HD DVD Players that have been perfected when they came out of the market. Compared to the HD players, Blu-ray players did not have all these hardware features when they first came out. These features include Internet accessibility through Ethernet, the ability to read Dolby and DTS off the disc, and the ability for dual audio and video processing. This means that regardless when you bought your HD player, you are sure that it has these capabilities already built in. And now, with the prices of the HD players plunging down after the format was phased out, there are more reasons why HD players are enjoying brisk sales.
