Sorry...but I do not think so 100 units does not a stampede make...Robert...you are a good vendor but plz remember you are dealing with a VERY small sampling of the market...Videophiles! I believe I heard the same discussion when the price was $499...NO INSULT INTENDED!

No, in fact I mentioned that in another post Agreed....People who shop at Walmart like the $49.95 ones! Wally World should stick with the cheap stuff. Problem is that they are not exactly flying off the shelves at BB either! Enjoy...(I really want the format to succeed so I can purchase a...

Unfortunately... I think this is just the beginning. When the new models come out...this pup will be $199 in no time just to clear inventory in a rising interest rate evironment (flooring costs!)Hell, stores did not want to floor product at 4%...more or less 8%. Standard answer"no it's not...

Gee... why am I not surprised Apologies first... BUT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I PREDICTED Some folks here have been saying that they have been flying off the shelf and I thought the lack of movement was just here in Reno...apparently not! is this going to be the end until the game...

I also dumped my denon 1910 have been totally underwhelmed by Denon Products the past few years...dumped the receiver (forgot the Model, but it was about $1000) and the 1910 and picked up Pioneer Elite 59i DVD and the Tx72 Elite reveiver///Blew the Denon stuff away IMMEDIATELY with no tweaking...

Suggestion I NEVER use a "live" drive to beta test. Always disconnect your Operating drive and connect another empty drive to do your testing! Forget playing with IE anything at least at the moment...it is as bad as VISTA IMHO. I only use Firefox with a few trweaks myself! jeff

That was fast..New Tosh on the way As I mentioned...rumors have been confirmed...a new Tosh HD-DVD model is on the way...Being intro's in Europe 1st...hear it will be 1080P compatible but so any other far info is sketchy! Such is the world of electronics....had to happen.

You are indeed a gentleman! You kind sir are a gentleman...I am NOT... been beta testing MS products since win 3.0...VISTA is the worst OS I have seen to date (including Millinium!) This could really give linux a boost... Unfortunately, it will not be long until Vista comes bundled...

ok Ok...Yes I was aware or the PCM/Digital situation with the optical and Coax...Figured cheapo RCA analog on each player would give me enough info...guess not.. Whatever it is...I still like my setup!!:D Cables have always been an enegma to me...digitally you would think they do not matter...

This is funny I tried Vista RC1 again yesterday w/ media player 11. I have an Athlon dual core 64 bit 3800 processor w/ 2 gig of ram...With Nothing else running, I tried to play a DVD with media player...VIsta refused and saidf I needed to free up more ram...JOKE???? Bigger Joke...CNN Money...

we tried both digital + Analog (to be fair) Hi Ilya... We tried the (Monster..Bleh) Optical (with the new style connectors that twist to prevent jitter) and Audioquest coax...and also...analog, using el cheapo rca cables (to really check the Panasonic)....results were equal w/ all...

Not this time... Cannot agree this time...we tried a side by side test with a friends panasonic DVD with a built in DD 5.1 decoder next to my Elite 59i...BIG difference and thru the same DAC (where you are correct)in my Elite 7200tx You are correct in that DAC's make ALOT of difference!

Once again... Once again...I bow to your knowledge...I will still wait until receivers have the capability and things settle down. Have you ever heard the diffference between the 5.1 decoders in a DVD PLAYER (Cheap components and processing)vs the decoders in a GOOD processing receiver? My...

TRUE Mr. Vurbano NEVER HAS A TRUER STATEMENT EVER BEEN MADE...APPLIES TO COMPUTERS TOO!

Updating firmware Most computer people know that updating firmware can be a risky business...I always use a UPS and NEVER use anything that updates from the NET...HORROR awaits...been at PC's since 76 and luckily have only had 3 bios flash failures...simply did not take and they went brain...

Actually both formats in their current form Actually both formats in their current form appear to be DOA here. I chatted with the salesman at magnolia that sold me my HT system last year about the future of High def DVD...His response was that neither was doing well at the local store and that...

That used to be called...WIN-TEL That was because MS and Intel were sleeping together before DOJ butted in! THEN ALONG CAME AMD AND BLEW UP THEIR BALLOON!:D :D :D edit; win-tel I forgot...Apple was also sucked in by Intel They dumped the PowerPC due to heat at above 1.5 ghz...I hear the...

Vista is pathetic....hope the internals are better than XP and hope the betas are loaded with debug code since it runs so slow (even on my Athlon dual core 64 bit system...tried the 64 bit ver too...I do like the new shell and I have that running on my XP setup (`3RD PARTY SHELL AND...

yeah right After all the $$ I spent on a new Elite receiver w/1.1 pass thru and 2 new 1.1 HDMI HD Tv's...I am running out to buy 1.3 as soon as it shows up...NOT!!!.. Does Superaudio or DTS audio ring a bell? It will take years to get this new format (both video and audio across to the...

Pioneer is asking their customers (Elite Products anyway) to put their email address in so they can be on the Elite BR spam list...ANYONE WANT TO VOLUNTEER?:D I sent in my Ph#...1-800-DIAL A PRAYER!:D :D :D

Here is a recent report on Hd DVD format war and possible effects....as I predicted ....unfortunately! http://money.cnn.com/2006/08/11/technology/bc.tech.highdefdvd.reut/index.htm

Remember...we are Remember, we are in the minority here ...Videophiles that is...Hell I am almost 60 and 720P on a Plasma looks just fine to me. I would only go HD in DVD's if the prices become reasonable and one of the formats wins beyond question. Not ready to replace my new Plasma and new...

I particularly like this line from the review... "With all that said, the Samsung BD-P1000 is in many ways less satisfying than a regular DVD player." regular DVD player meaning maybe a $50 cheapo!
