First of all -- no donations. Thanks anyway.
This is not an affordability factor, it's a reality factor.
The format is too new and the first generation players will be
replaced by better second and third generation players. Normally
I'd buy the first generation, but not when there are two separate
formats competing against each other.
If there was a combi-player, I'd have one in my hands right now.
However, we know this is not going to happen anytime soon since
the combi-players would outsell the separate products that are
being pushed.
In time, I'll buy a new TV and I'll settle on a second (or further)
generation player that will probably perform a lot better than what
is available now.
Meanwhile, HTF will be fully supportive of HD/Blu-Ray, and I look
forward to future reviews and discussion from this membership.
