Nice. I currently have an A1 and would love to upgrade to the A30.

For the most part the A1 has been fine, but the slow load times and occasionally lock-ups are becoming more annoying. The latest lock-ups have happened when i have had friends over.

Here's to hoping Darkman and The Thing aren't in the same category...

Same here... Although I dont know if my lock-ups have more to do with the Hereos Disc or the player, as they seemed to be fixed now. But the slow load time is really starting to get on my nerves.

As someone who won't be upgrading from my HD-XA2 anytime soon, I am glad that the article mentioned that Toshiba will be offering a firmware for all second-gen players to allow for 24 frames per second. That's going to be nice!
