I found a 60 gig at Target on Dec. 29th, but it is still in the box..... I know that I should have it hooked up and running, but I have a 52"XBR3 LCD on order along with the BDP-S1 and the STR-DA5200ES. I'm expecting delivery by the end of the month so it really not a problem.

Maybe I am just dense but the whole argument that HD-DVD has to have backward compatibility with DVD just does not make any sense to me. Most of us already have a DVD player, so we will just be adding another piece of equipment to our systems. As a Laserdisc owner I could have said that DVD...

I just finished talking with DVD Planet about a problem with the 3rd Disc, chapter 4, 9.51, where the disc will pixelate and stop my Pioneer Elite DV-09. I can't even scan past that point, so I tried the 3rd disc in my Mac G4 dual 450, same problem at chapter 4, pixelates and freezes, the Mac...
