Buffalo has now launched the first HD DVD player for PCs and its HDV-ROM2.4FB unit is manufactured by Toshiba. The same company which makes the HD DVD unit for Xbox 360's external HD DVD player. Even if it has turned out that you can get this external Xbox player to work with a regular PC, Buffalo HDV-ROM2.4FB is the first commercial HD DVD player to be sold separately using an ATAPI interface. The player will be shipped with PowerDVD HD DVD Edition for playing HD DVD movies and will arrive with a price at 338 USD. This price is from the Japanese launch though so a higher price in the rest of the world wouldn't be that much of a surprise.
This is just one out of many HD DVD players that will arrive for PCs and we're eager to see a comparison between the models. Especially how they compare to the Blu-ray models on the same market.
