Yeah i actually never read the release he referenced, but I am not sure I would have caught it anyway
Close enough.
I am still amazed at the people that would be foolish enough to penalize their eyes by taking away the joy of HDM since their team did not win. Instead of ensuring one survives, lets all ensure they both die so that we are stuck with a low rez settop box that downloads movies.
Matter of fact, im going to sell my BD30 right now on ebay and buy an Appletv.
Yes i agree very weird!?Close enough.

I love the infinite optimism of HD DVD boosters.
What Warner says: Catalog releases will be delayed by 3 weeks as part of their efforts to favor Blu-ray.
What HD DVD boosters hear: Wahoo! 3 more weeks of support, today. Tomorrow they'll come around, fire the executives that decided to back Blu-ray (after all we read on a blog that they didn't have the authority to make that decision), and exclusively support HD DVD like they were meant for all along.
Say I did consider BD where are the players that have all the features that HD DVD lovers have come to love. Also (bigger issue for J6P) who wants to pay $500 for an incomplete 1.1 player.
So to answer your question:
NO
NO
Won't buy incomplete version 1.1 players for $500, thus NO to movies.
Another big part of my future purchases is to wait and see if Toshiba's up coming high powered upconverters do what they say they can do. If they can that'll hold over untill downloading gets its act together.
I didn't mean you should start "loving" Blu-ray. I never will even if only because they have Sony as a member.
Just be realistic. BD will probably be the only source of high video/audio quality movies starting shortly. Be pragmatic.
I don't think BD will have a full featured player (like HD is today) for at least a year. The BD gang is mostly old hardware companies, they don't know software.
I don't think this will happen (although I believe it is very doable).
I think Sony will buy Toshiba's non-agressive stance (at least neutrality) some time next year...
Diogen.
I've had a HD-DVD player since 8/2006 and the only 'special' feature I use on it is the ethernet port to update firmware so newer movies will play. Sorry, when I want to watch a movie I want to watch the movie, not surf the web to buy movie merchandies or open a PIP window to disctract me from the movie.
Now I do, I did buy a about 25 total HD-DVD's and tried out some of the special features a few times but just not interested. Last time was with the Transformer HD-DVD, just doesn't do anything for me.
Close enough.

:up:up:up
What I am amazed at is that anyone with a lick of sense could possibly believe that a upconverted 480p picture could ever match or come close to a 1080p picture. These folks must need glasses and don't use them when they watch true HD on a calibrated HDTV! You can not improve what is not there - never could -- never will!
