    best place to buy HD DVD?

    Buy.com for online, I have seen them have a few HD-DVD's cheaper then amazon by the time you figure in the shipping but thats without the 10% off or whatever it is that people use with amazon. Locally I would say Target has the most in most locations.

    Painting questions

    Thanks Jason, So I should just put the new paint over the old without a primer? This won't cause a reaction with the old paint?

    What am I doing wrong here? (Updating Firmware via Ethernet)

    Speaking of Batman Begins, I was comparing the HD-DVD with the version they had on Comcast today and WOW what a diffrence, The comcast image is more soft with little detail while the HD-DVD version is razor sharp. I just didn't realize how big of a jump it was till i did a comparison.

    Romar: You made the right choice when you got the HD-A1 instead of the 360 Add-on, I to was faced with the same decision and i probably would have ended up selling the HD-DVD drive off on ebay if i would have went that route cause the sound improvement is just too good to pass up. I also...

    Should I worry that I may be collecting a dead format?

    I doubt Sony will make it but there are a ton of people with xbox 360's and if you go to any of the xbox 360 forums they are flooded with people that have either preordered or are geting the HD-DVD drive, I think sense the 360 drive is external it will be of better quality then the internal DVD...

    Should I worry that I may be collecting a dead format?

    I doubt either format will be a dead format, The reason being is the Xbox 360 has the HD-DVD drive coming out and the PS3 has the Blu-ray so there will always be people that will want these formats, (maybe not Sony, Depends on how many people buy into it but we already know the Xbox 360 is doing...

    By the way, I decided to give HDMI a try on my Mitsubishi 48" CRT with a DVI cable and HDMI adapter and i like the picture even more then component! It seems like there is more depth to the picture with HDMI, Ive always heard to always use component with a CRT but i guess it just depends on the tv.

    Microsoft To Bundle "King Kong" w/ Xbox 360 HD-DVD player!

    Well I decided to buy an HD-A1 yesterday and boy am i glad i did! The lossless audio makes a huge diffrence for me, The added quality completly brings the movie to life and i could not imagine having HD-DVD without it. I enjoy the lossless audio as much if not more then the HD video.

    Microsoft To Bundle "King Kong" w/ Xbox 360 HD-DVD player!

    The HDMI adapter was a mixup, The HD-DVD drive will only output threw Component Video or VGA, 720p and 1080i threw component and 720p, 1080i AND 1080p threw VGA :) The only drawback for me that is really bugging me is it won't support the new HD lossless audio formats sense you can only output...
