usually a toshiba or samsung hd dvd player costs around 700-900$.. I dont know the current prices in our stores though... but u can get Xbox 360 HD DVD player from MS for 179$ dats US price.. so you can expect somewhere around that in India.. So when there is one for 179$ there might be some for 5000.Rs. I just am not sure of this though.. If any body can make sure of this.. Let us know.
