Instead M$ just used one DVD drive that kept over heating and bricking 360s.

I consider myself a HT enthusiast, but I dont even have ethernet connection near any of my HT systems. Especially the HT room with a projector... I just want to turn it on and watch the movie. cool down the bulb and turn it off ASAP. It cost money to replace that darn thing... I find my self...

Back to the Venturer HD DVD player news... Video business

There are 2 links in my post.. the 1st one was from Aug 28 as the official announcement... the 2nd post was back in March when they speculated the $100 price point... I think there's more links with an estimated price of somewhere less then the XBOX 360 add-on...

$100 ish ????

Venturer HD DVD player no pricing yet....

Venturer HD DVD player $100ish ???

BR vs HDDVD: Would you like to own 5 different TV sets???? one for ABC, one for CBS, one for NBC, etc... There's some things we all take for granted as unified... and home video media just happens to be one of them. Game Consoles: Its like subscribing to Cable or Satellite... You pay for...

I'm not going to spin anything... It's a done deal... Now lets wait for Nielson numbers... Without this deal, IMHO: the ratio would be 4:1 this holiday... If Toshiba players become the hot item this holiday and the PS3 bombs, then the ratio will be closer to 1:1... Other wise, I expect it to...

I swear, I go out to lunch and all Hell breaks out loose!!! Can we have a Pacman smiley so I can start eating my words? ;) Oh well, I'm not one to spin any facts... So congrats to HD DVD... Just dont get it though... acknowledging a 2:1 sales ratio then claiming that hardware prices is the...

It was a 1 time article that never had any follow up... I think Bill Hunt even asked his readers if they could send him any pics with the disc rot... No one responded...

Samsung BD-P1200 player is down to $445.xx on Amazon... It should drop further when the Samsung 3rd gen player is released... There were some articles a few weeks back that mentioned a sub $300 BR by the Holidays... IMHO: there should be a major brand BR player around $350 by the...

Thats good that your XBOX360 is still up and running... It's good that you still have another year of the extended warranty... And I hope your never have a failure... My comment on M$ screwing their consumers is based off the following: 1) to get the price down they removed the hard drive...

Just let it go Thomas... I'm not going to discuss the issue with you any further...

1st off... please refrain from comments like "silly"... We've buried that hatchet at HTF 2ndly... BR wasnt even a format when Sony decided to add it to the PS3... so the HDMI excuse doesnt float... 3rdly... firm ware update are not defects... 4thly... this is not an attack on HD DVD so chill...

So you sell a defective product and up the warranty to 3 years... Repackage your product and still sell it with the defect??? Why did they choose 3 years? because they can claim the lifecycle of thier products is 3-4 years and not be accountable after that...

On another note: Happy 25th bday CD IMHO: This benchmark will eventually be equaled by DVD. So we can stop comparing High Def with DVD...

So basically M$ screwed the first 11 million customer... Also the next million or so wont get much better treatment, they are still using the 90nm chipset and old mother board...

The Digital Bits is still reviewing HD DVD movies and giving them good reviews. Just because someone doesnt agree with your opinion, it doesnt mean they are out got get you...

HD DVD fans, please update your comeback to sales numbers with 4%. Startribune

It's a rebade Toshiba HD-XA2

BR has competition between major CE. Sony has reduced to the price and Samsung is right there with them. Philips and Sharp are also price conscious, so expect the prices to get even more competitive... right now, you can get the Sony or Samsung for $450... around the holidays the price...

I'm just waiting for someone to post... Not much news since High Def is only 2% of the market share....;)

I "borrowed" this from another site: I'll try to update weekly

I thought "HD-Ready" ment that there was no built-in HDTV tuner.

HDScape gives up HD DVD exclusivity, moves to Blu-ray Not really anything big... Just another assimilation... "Resistance is futile. We wish to improve ourselves. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service ours" The Borg...

numbers or statistics??? The only numbers that were usable were 180,000 stand alone HD DVD players... even ratios are better than stats...
