Officially format neutral today (1 Viewer)

Just ordered the Sony BDP-S300 with 10 (!) free movies, 5 of which will come with the machine! Read a lot of sites and see that as long as the firmware is up to date, it's a very decent machine. Adding this to the Toshiba HD A2 I bought at the beginning of the month.

Congratulations, Stephen.
You're one of the free now.

Ditto...bought the HDA1 last October 2006; bought the Sharp BD player today...got 3 free HD movies with the A1 and looking forward to my 5 free BD movies with the Sharp!

So, congrats to you too, Peter.

(I myself am waiting for the Samsung combo player, assuming it will be there in Jan 2008 and specs and price are about right).

Welcome to the club. I hope others join us. It's great to not be a format fanboy hoping your format will end up winning. It's all about the movies and both formats bring me the great quality and much pleasure.

I like those Panasonic players-got such good reviews-but still way more than I wish to pay *sigh*

It's a great feeling to be neutral.

You'll be very happy with Blu-ray.

Welcome to the club!

As one of the original HTF members of the Format Neutral Club, I welcome you.

Wow! I've been a member of this forum for almost 9 years, and I think this is the first time Ron, Cees, and Robert have every all chimed in on a thread I started. I am honored!

Yee-Haw! Christmas comes early to my house today! My Sony BDP-S300 is on the UPS truck for delivery (along with a 1TB WD MyBook from Newegg!).

I am offically format neutral today as well! Im a proud owner of the HD-A35 and I picked up a Samsung BR-1400 for $200 from my boss. His loss my gain!!

Now I need to pick up so good Blu-ray titles!!

Congrats, Bill!

I'm jealous. Seriously though, I plan to join the "neutral zone" sometime next year. I was originally waiting for a dual format player but the deals on HD DVD players were too good to let pass. I survived being DVD-A only for about a year before adding SACD, so I think I can survive this wait as well. But congrats to those who are already there.

May I join the club? I already had the A2 and just picked up the new Panasonic BD-30. It is a great feeling not having to worry about a title being available in one format or the other.

Of course!

I've gotta stop.... but damn, it's like a drug.

I have been format neutral from the beginning and yes it is a nice feeling being able to buy what you want. I just got my mom to go with the Sony BDP-S300 to go along with her new 40 inch plasma. She doesn't know anything about it except that she loves it. I am also working on my sister to get the HD DVD player for their XBox 360.

2 more converted and just 3 Billion left to go!!!

2,999,999,999 to go as I just got a Panasonic Blu-Ray DMP-BD30K and will have Toshiba HD-A3 by the end of the week.

Just watched Enter the Dragon on Blu-Ray and all I have to say is............

My SD edition is now a beer coaster.

I have been format neutral for awhile now as I purchsed my HD-A1 a little over a year ago. And I purchased my Sony BDP-S300 back around August 31st. And have been enjoying both formats ever since. I now purchase every title I can in HD and buy very few SD-DVD.
