Toshiba will release three new HD DVD players this fall, the third-generation HD-A3, HD-A30 and HD-A35, the company announced today.

HDMI-CEC, which allows connected devices to control each other over HDMI, and support for 1080p/24 frames per second.
The HD-A35 supports Deep Color, 5.1 channel analog output and up to 7.1 channel output using HDMI.
Available in October, the HD-A35 has an MSRP of $499.99. The HD-A30, set to be released in September, will cost $399.99.

While Samsung has recently taken the wraps off of its
dual format Duo HD player, high-end manufacturer Denon has joined the format war,
introducing two Blu-ray players to the mix.
