Joining HD-DVD format partner Toshiba, Sanyo unveiled their prototype HDDVD player, at the 2004 Ceatec electronics show in Chiba Japan this week. A Toshiba spokesperson said both companies were preparing for mass production.

No real surprise here, but as Blu-Ray was a shoe-in for the next Playstation, NEC and Toshiba are trying to sway the XBox2 platform over to HD-DVD. Given the competition between XBoX and Playstation, I’d guess this was a natural match.
