    OK... Hiroshima and Nagasaki have hit us...what HD DVD product will you buy next?

    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.

    Toshiba to drop HD DVD, sources say

    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...

    CNET Editor Advises HD DVD Owners: Sell Sell Sell

    +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...

    Finally, a full-function IR remote solution for the PS3

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

    Panasonic DMP-BD 50 BD Live video!

    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...

    Panasonic DMP-BD 50 BD Live video!

    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 :cool: My BD-30 is barely 2 months old, and already outdated.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:

    HD DVD at CES 2008

    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...

    Digital Bill says BDA working on olive branch

    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...

    Blu-ray Disc vs. HD DVD a 2007 recap

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

    Its far from over

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

    Michael Bay Insults HD-DVD Fanboys

    +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...

    1-7-08 WSJ Article on Formats/Studios

    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.

    BD insider comments on FOX and WB and HDDVD

    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...

    BD insider comments on FOX and WB and HDDVD

    Penton-Man is full of himself. He made one vague post on Avs alluding to Paramount was being courted with money hours before the news broke and has been claiming every since that he "broke the story". :rolleyes: However, he may right about Fox - they are so fanatical about DRM & region...

    Tell Warner How You Feel

    I bought the Pannasonic BD-30 in November and it's a great companion player for my A35. It does bitstream TrueHD & DTS MA to a receiver, and the DTS MA audio on Fox titles is the best audio I've heard on either format. As to the OP, I'm telling Warner how I feel: I will never, ever buy another...

    Blu ray vs HD - DVD on January.

    Yes, I'll pass on Daddy Day Care as well. Only 1 of each for me - 3:10 to Yuma in Blu & Zodiac in Red for me. And that's OK, my wallet needs a break from the November & December release schedule, and the BOGO sales. I have a backlog of at least a dozen movies to watch, and January is College...

    Amazon B1G1

    I have my fingers crossed. I sent them an message that I would upgrade to Prime if they could confirm they would extend this deal for 2008. Received a response thanking me, and it was forwarded to the "decision making person". It's worked at least half a dozen times for me now on BOGOs, both...

    Rear Projection TVs a thing of the past?

    The AP news story on Yahoo this morning confirms your Sony profit margin thinking - I have to agree rear projection displays are not the future, but I've always liked them because of the more reasonable pricing for my preferred TV size of 55-65", and space has never been an issue for me; I...

    Is it the $300 that makes you "one sided"?

    Gee, I must be a late bloomer - I didn't hit that stage until my mid-30s. :D

    Which will you be using to upscale your Yule Log video

    No Yule Log video - I have a big fireplace in my TV room for the real thing, and I've had it a blazin' the last few nights as it down to 7 degrees (and you guys think Arizona is all cactus & 115 degrees in the shade :p) But I did use my Red player to upscale White Christmas & Miracle on...
