So I run down to the local Fry's store to check out the new HD-DVD player and WOW was I disappointed. I'm guessing Fry's was disappointed too because they leave the display its connected to, on a demo feed instead of the HD-DVD player.
I get the salesman to put in a DVD and he grabs TLS. As soon as the piracy screen comes up I can tell that the fonts are not as sharp as they should be. Then the WB title comes up and I'm thinking, ok this looks like good HD. Then the heartbreak starts. As I watch the previews at the beginning and the first 5 minutes of the film i had one though. Blu-Ray better look better than this or neither format is going to do JACK! and I'm not talking Bauer.
Where the HELL is the HD? You know. The kind that looks as good as something off of HDNET?
The salesman I was with was not excited at all. He actually showed me a up converting $67 dollar DVD player that looked about the same......
Long story short. I took my $400 dollars and left.
