Venturer announces new HD DVD Player for the US market: the SHD7000. Believe it or not it’s going at less than $200!
The SHD7000 will play back HD DVDs at 1080i, support Dolby TrueHD have HDMI output. It’s fairly similar in functionality to Toshiba’s low-end DVD player, but since it’s from China, Venturer’s able to cut the price down to the sub-$200 point. It also features ethernet connectivity for access to online data.
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.
