If you’re feeling sorry for your abandoned USB ports HP has good news for you. The HD100 is the first USB 2.0 based external HD-DVD player. But in order to make use of it’s HD-DVD playback, you need at least a 3.2GHz core solo Pentium or an AMD 64 X2 2.2GHz. No wonder no one’s jumping into the high def bandwagon yet. And if you want external output (duh!), you’d better have an HDMI or HDCP-compliant DVI-D cable lying around. The drive also won’t burn regular DVDs. What a bitch waste. It’s due around Christmas time this year, no known pricetag yet.
