It makes the PS3 "game console" price less obnoxius but certainly no bargain. How is it a "kick in the balls" if you're a 360 owner and want a cheap entry into HD-DVD now? Even if you're not a 360 owner but considering a 360 this xmas (for Halo or 360 exclusive games coming out next year) the...

thanks... $3.95 shipped is a no-brainer!

Nope. Bluray has countermeasures such as BD+ (revokable license) and ROM Mark on top of AACS what is interesting in this article is Maureen Weber from HP did a 180-degree% about face :) ... http://www.physorg.com/news5725.html The Blu-ray Disc content management system includes three...

unless you're *extremely rainbow sensitive* why not get the cheaper (and better performing) upcoming optoma HD-70 and save $400 too.

IMHO those are lame titles for a launch. it looks like the OP is a Fox viral marketer too judging by posts i just read in the BD owners forum. what gives?

netflix only for me at this point (haven't purchased a DVD in a couple of years or any HD-DVDs).

The studios that proclaim to want "extras" (ie BD50) really want BD+ security (Fox/Disney) first and foremost. They are using "space" as a selling point to future customers because it's very hard to sell customers on concepts like "we can revoke your player". Sony just wants the royalties and...

I've never been impressed either until now. I had (well still have... didn't put it on ebay yet) the Zenith 318 upscaler and HTPC... neither did much for SD DVD really (H78DC3 720p PJ). It just was blah and looked marginally better than feeding it 480p from the same or different source (xbox...

DVI is a non-issue if it's HDCP compiant just get an hdmi/dvi adapter (under $10 at monoprice)

enjoy the new HDTV. bummer you couldn't find a short-throw PJ. i think when you see HD-DVD on that in all it's glory some of those old DVD transfers are going to hurt your eyes! But OTOH some of the better mastered DVDs will look real good! :)

If you're adamant about purchasing optical discs (and don't have an HDTV) then yes the Tosh can output via s-video. Don't know about the Samsung. You wouldn't want to buy any current bluray software anyways so that is a moot point. I'd buy the HDTV/PJ first myself.

for sure.... but did we ever stop to honestly think about what brings more happiness... buying and owning shelves of DVDs or just simply watching movies (even in HD!). Nowadays we can just watch the movies :) It's not the laserdisc era where watching an OAR copy was a chore. Ron, is there...

cable is cable unless you notice a problem :)

LOL. But people paying for booze/ciggys are actually getting USE out of what they're paying for. Not dust collectors. Who said videophiles have to "buy"? It's not 1997 and VHS lining blockbuster's shelves. I'm aware of that as i recall when this site was formed... but times change. It's...
