It may look like a DVD player, but it's really the first volley in the battle for which kind of high-definition disc you'll play on your TV.
The Toshiba HD-XA1 and HD-A1, available in March, will be the first high-definition DVD players on the market.
High definition requires a lot more information than a standard DVD can hold, or a standard player can read. Warring companies have come up with two different ways to make the discs and players, pitting Toshiba's HD-DVD standard against the Sony consortium's Blu-ray.
