    Song Remains the Same Shipped Last Night

    So "The Song Remains the Same" has been ordered and unfulfilled in my amazon account for quite some time. I get to work this morning, check my email and guess what it shipped. I was completely surprised. I just hope that it is actually the HD-DVD version. UPS actually has the package so...

    You got your analogy wrong you're the red sox fan and he is the yankees fan. When its all said and done he'll be the one sitting at home with an expensive useless piece of equipment (Arod). :)

    First 3X DVD-ROM Disc Cut, Will Work With HD DVD

    Use them for shorter length content. Or it would be a real cheap way to back up or store HD content from a camcorder.

    Warning: Weinstein HD DVDs may have glitches...

    No problems with clerks 2 here. It seems to me the A1 is just a little picky about dirty fingers touching the disks

    Consumer Alert: Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-ray Players

    Yeah the article seems pretty reasonable. Even blu-ray campers (FOX) said it was the sammy's fault too. Its not like its news that the samsung is a POS.

    Saw a nice lookin HD-A2 last night at best buy sitting on the shelf for $499, the sony BD player was sitting next to it for a grand. The funny thing was the POS bravia that the BD player was hooked upto had like 10 dead pixels.

    BluRay gaining support!!

    Its an ad from the blu-ray empire...not an independant review with real facts. Funny thing is half of those companies are looking at a nasty anti trust lawsuit over lcd price gouging and production manipulation. So they would be the first people I trusted for information.

    Toshiba HD A1 vs A2

    As far as firmware updates go. Some people have ordered the disks from toshiba, some have downloaded the iso and burned it to a disk. The easiest way is to use the ethernet port. Just set it up to work with your router, just like any pc, and do a firmware update they take about 40 minutes...

    Toshiba HD A1 vs A2

    The remote is different on the hd-xa1...it might be lighted. The xa1 has an rs-232 port, and the design of the enclosure is a little different. With the exception of the rs-232 port I don't think the guts are different between the two. I have an A1 and love it. I don't casually watch...

    What the A2 offers that the A1 doesn't: 1. Faster Load Time 2. New Remote 3. Looks like vcr from 1985 What the A1 offers that the a2 doesn't 1. Analog 5.1 audio out So if you don't have an HDMI receiver and want to listen to the new audio formats... and trust me you do, you will need...

    True HD for your 360 add on!

    HDMI 1.1 and 1.2 have enough bandwidth to support I believe full 8 channel PCM audio. The toshiba only supports 5.1 decoding. Over HDMI I get the equivalent of what you are getting over your analog 5.1's but in PCM format. As far as transporting the new formats in their compressed forms I...

    True HD for your 360 add on!

    Yeah the number of pcm channels over optical is bandwidth limited to I think 2. HDMI 1.1 and 1.2 receivers are everywhere now. You will just have to rely on the toshiba codecs to listen to any of the new formats over hdmi.

    upconverting SD DVD on 360 HDDVD?

    Toshiba is better hands down...don't even need an xbox addon to know this. Dolby Digital is 448 Kbps (supported by XBOX 360 addon) DTS is 769 Kbps Supported by standalone players: Dolby Digital plus is 3Mbps (bare minimum on all HD-DVDs) Dolby True HD is 18 Mbps So just looking at...

    HD-A2 or Xbox add on

    I think the audio issue is huge decision factor. If you are just going to hook it up in a dorm room or something and don't have a receiver that has HDMI the 360 addon is probably a pretty nice deal. If you care about the audio and are willing tol live with the audio decoders that toshiba...
