This is a list of released devices that are capable of playing HD DVDs.
All HD DVD players and drives are no longer in production (though some HD DVDs are still being produced) due to TimeWarner's decision to abandon the HD DVD format in favor of Blu-ray Disc. Since TimeWarner is the largest seller of video discs in the world, its choice for Sony's Blu-ray caused Toshiba and its partners to concede defeat in the race to become the high definition standard.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or devices:
“Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Thirtythe promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (18961940)
“Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation.... Tooting, howling, screeching, booming, crashing, whistling, grinding, and trilling bolster his ego. His anxiety subsides. His inhuman void spreads monstrously like a gray vegetation.”
—Jean Arp (18871948)
