1080i? That means 720p has better practical picture quality. Just a joke from HD-DVD camp!

It's disappointing to read such misinformation on a high quality Tech site.
1) High-definition TV or DVD player is any device that can use or output 720P, 1080I or 1080P.
2) Any device that can output 720P, 1080I or 1080P vertical resolution is a high definition device... period.
There is not such a thing as true HD defined as a 1080P device. This is pure marketing hogwash.

The Venturer pricing in the UK is plain weird.
Once again I note that an article quoting HD DVD prices manages to either choose the older out-going 2nd gen model or simply get the pricing completely wrong (and by a substantial amount.
You can buy the 3rd gen 1080p Toshiba HD A30 for £189 on Amazon UK right now - what the hell would anyone be looking at the HD E10 for over one of those?
(and it's only $248.37 on Amazon USA right now).

More misinformation. 1080i is full HD.
Do some research. HD movies are encoded at 1080P24. Whether the information in those 24 frames per second are converted to 1080i or 1080P doesn't make one bit of difference in final picture quality.
Any modern wide screen HDTV will look identical whether it is being fed a 1080i or 1080P signal from a HD DVD. If it doesn't look identical then you need to upgrade your TV, not your HD DVD player.
