I've been on an Import buying binge on overseas sales - La Haine, Arizona Dream, Renaissance , The Island, 3 Days of the Condor, Brothers Grimm, Tideland, Parfum & Death Sentence from Amazon Germany for $128 shipped. First Blood, Rambo III, Leaving Las Vegas, Inside Man & Red Dragon from...

I just bought a refurb XA2 to add to my A35, and just put in a pre-order for "There Will be Blood" at Amazon. Also have The Kite Runner, Beowulf & Into the Wild on pre-order. Although I pretty much own all the existing releases I want, I might pick up a few more at bargain basement prices.

The article you linked doesn't sound like Toshiba has a BD player or even a dual format player planned - You're right about BD players - I bought the Panasonic BD-30 in November, figuring BD Live / 2.0 was a long way off, and I'd be able to enjoy web interactivity on HD DVD. My reaction to...

La Mome (La Vie en Rose) 1408 The Road To Rio / The Road To Bali (Double Feature) Led Zeppelin-- The Song Remains The Same Santana Santana: Hymns for Peace - Live at Montreux 2004 On pre-order: American Gangster Beowulf Into The Wild That's too funny about The Searchers in a...

+1 Yep, I picked up a new Xbox drive off eBay for under $100 for playback on my PC & eventually transfer copies to a Home Media Server. You still finding bargains? I picked a couple HD DVD titles off eBay for cheap right after Warner, but the market seems to have really stabilized. I'm...

I thought there was some USB device that enabled IR remotes to work on the PS3?

That drives me nuts! I have my BD-30 right next to my A35, and the A35 has the open/close button on the left, right next to the tray. So I'm forever hitting the SD logo on top of the BD-30 and waiting for something to happen. :haha I do like extras, features, gadgets, gizmos, etc., and have...

Wow! Way cool! :cool: My BD-30 is barely 2 months old, and already outdated. :( I think I'll wait for BD Profile 10.1 before I buy another player. :mad:

Thanks for the news from CES. Interesting news on the keyboard support; it would be a big improvement. I participated in a community screening of HP Order of the Phoenix and it was a lot of fun. In addition to the co-ordinated pauses, re-winds, you can chat back & forth with the messages...

You got some deals, as my auction for Ocean's Giftset just ended and I got $59.87 for it, including shipping; $24.50 for Wyatt Earp. And no, I'm not selling any of my HD DVDs, I plan to enjoy them for many years to come. Warner Home Video, in their infinite wisdom, shipped me a half dozen HD DVD...

I'm sorry - what were you saying about Transformers? :rolleyes:

Probably talking about standalone players. It is a little misleading. But, give Sally a break - as she said, she had a tough day. :(

+1 I've enjoyed both formats for some time now, and they both have great releases. IMHO, Pan's Labyrinth HD DVD is the best video & audio quality for a live action film I've seen in either format; Ratatouille BD is the best animated film. As for Mr. Bay, for the Director of the 3rd biggest...

That Wall Street Journal article is excellent and I was going to post it but you beat me to it. I thought the comments about the direction of Paramount & Universal were the minor points. And they appear to confirm the "rumors" that Fox was in play, and that it very nearly swung the other way.

And I'm supposed to respect a BD "Insider" who calls the competition "Red Ants" at best, and downhill from there? :confused: Talkstr8t & Paidgeek have class, and it shows. Penton-man comes off as trailer trash. :( I like Amir, but, yes, he got carried away at times. My jaw dropped the day...
