    Circuit City abandons HD DVD, clearances all players?

    Amazon still cheaper I see that, after tax, Amazon.com is stilling the A30 for less than I just paid at the Circuit City clearance. Oh well. It's only a few dollars different so I'll throw Circuit City a bone. They certainly need one.

    Circuit City abandons HD DVD, clearances all players?

    My Circuit City has the clearance They have no boxes of A20, one A3 and 3 A30's. Make that two A30's. One sits in my living room. I have the A1 so I'm willing to spend $149 to keep my existing HD-DVDs playing a while longer -- and at 1080p.

    So I take back my praise of Netflix - BB ?

    No problems with HD I must be choosing unpopular movies or things are aging enough in my queue to be available because I always get the blue or red movie at the top of my list. Resident Evil 3 is at home right now. My movies come from the Houston warehouse. See one "very long wait" in my...

    Total HD discs delayed until 2008

    Wasn't Warner going to premier the new format using Lord of the Rings? I wonder what will happen to those titles now that Total HD has been delayed?

    HD-DVD #1 player at Amazon!

    But at least if there are two formats indefinitely, that will guarantee the continued existence of players for both formats (or dual format players). So I'm fine with two successful formats. I'm unhappy when one format dies and eventually I have to rebuy because you can't get a a player in the...

    HD-DVD #1 player at Amazon!

    Hey, if it proves to be the move that turned the corner for Toshiba in their ultimate victory in the format wars, it will be hailed as a brilliant move. And it's still a really good upscaling DVD player even if/when Blu-Ray wins.

    HD-DVD #1 player at Amazon!

    Thanks to the heavy promotion and rebate (discussed in other threads), this article states that the Toshiba HD-A2 not only outsold any Blu-Ray player but any DVD player at Amazon.com over the Memorial Day weekend. The beginning of a trend? http://www.videobusiness.com/article/CA6447181.html

    LG BH100 (Blu-ray/HD-DVD) - Avoid!

    The unit played the one Blu-Ray title that I have. The output looked good but I never did figure out how to get it to output 1080p to my Sony KDS-R70XBR2. The option was always grayed out. I was using HDMI and the set does support 1080p. Beyond that I didn't play with it that much. I'm...

    LG BH100 (Blu-ray/HD-DVD) - Avoid!

    Well, thanks for posting the info. I'm sorry I didn't see it before buying. Actually this could be more of an HD-DVD killer -- if available in both, an owner would buy Blu-ray.

    LG BH100 (Blu-ray/HD-DVD) - Avoid!

    Well, I was warned. I got my shiny new LG Blu-ray/HD-DVD player today. It plays DVD and Blu-ray great. But HD-DVD? I'm shocked at the minimal support provided! I knew it didn't support HDi but I didn't realize that would mean no disc provided menus at all. For HD-DVD the player generates...

    LG Dual Player Shipping?

    Yes I am! If the LG doesn't provide enough HD-DVD support, I'll return it. Assuming that it really ships as promised, of course. If the player provides enough menu support to play the movie, see chapters, and turn on extra features such as documententaries and commentaries, I'll be happy...
