This player is just an upconverting DVD player that claims "near HD-quality images from your current DVD library". This player will not play HD DVDs.
-----------------------
SKU# 716681 is for Model RBDRC8052N
Most likely is a mis print on the title, but spec and pic is correct.
This is a DVD burner if the SKU# is correct.

I got all excited thinking it was a HD-DVD player for $50 - it is actually an upconverting DVD player.
Other deals look good though.

Wow, I wonder is Straples is going to get beat up over this. I can imagine a lot of people thinking they are getting HD-DVD when they are only getting an upscaler.

Agreed. That's the second time I've seen that title used be a retailer this week. Red from me for putting in the OP too.

Wow! Talk about confusing advertising! Staples is going to make a lot of enemies with this one.

In the title they say it's HDV5000, which is a real HD DVD player, but below the item number they list the model as RBDRC8052N. And all the info they give is for a DVD recorder that also upconverts to HD.

What do you want to bet that Staplez fixes the error before Monday???

Some people are assuming it's a recorder (due to second model number and photo), some say it's rebadged first generation Toshiba HD player, some say it's hard to tell but something is wrong regardless.

That UPS for $70 looks like a good deal no?

If it is the HDV5000, apparently it is just a rebadged A1. Regardless $50 for a refurbed HDDVD player is pretty hot.

Definitely confusing about the HD-DVD Player. The product link says RCA HDV5000 as does the first part of the description, but the rest of the description is for an upconverting DVD recorder.

Amazon Product Link shows it for $499 .. if it really is that player for $50 refurbed, I'm in for one so Staples can piss me off like it pissed off those people who tried to get the GPS online (I was at Staples at 6:15am on Black Friday and they were all out in the store -- kinda annoys me since the Navigon was listed a whole weekend special rather than just a doorbuster)

It is NOT a HD-DVD player. It does NOT play HD-DVD disk.

It ONLY upconversion DVD to HD

Downright false advertising.

Seriously, companies hire fools these days. I wouldn't be surprised if the employee doesn't know the difference when they created the ad.
