    Yeah, somtimes in the Shrek adds, it says "Also on HD-DVD", but sometimes no mention. It is a bit confusing as to why the dont' have a universal system, but I think it often deals with the marketing target. Advertising the Shrek HD-DVD on Nickelodeon would only achieve so much, but I...

    I hate to sound like a cheer leader here, but Warner going HD-DVD exclusive would probably end the war too. Perhaps not as quickly, but it's worth looking at. I personally think that since it's so close as it is, Warner being Red would tip the scales and just keep snowballing. I think...

    The statement in question does not advocated Blu-Ray. He doesn't say, "don't buy hi def at all" he says don't support both. Since we all know which format HE supports, I think it's safe to assume which format he would rather you didn't support. What he's essentially saying in the...

    I'm gonna be a little over the top, here, but i'm trying to put things in perspective. All you in the neutral crew. You like being neutral. Why? Because you don't give a crap about what movies you can or cannot buy and enjoy in hi def. Bill Hunt says that you people, are just...

    The thing is, it's an outdated 1.0 model. No duel video processing, so no picture in picture, and no ethernet connectivity. Even if you don't care about those things as much, you will still be hindered by it. The only Blu Ray players I can see being worth a buy are the PS3 and...

    Well....yeah. I'm not aware of the force needed to put a scratch in a blu ray disc, but if it happens, the disc is dead. He's a question. Could HD-DVD basically license the scratch proof coating formula and implement it into their discs? Physically, I would imagine it could be...

    HD-DVD's can be scratched just like CD's and DVD's, and just like CD's and DVD's, they are repairable to a point. Blu Ray discs, which do in fact need the hard coating, are NOT repairable. It should be noted that the hard coating on Blu-Ray discs is not an EXTRA feature, but a...

    I finally took mine on line. Transformers never worked for the longest time. Today I put Shrek in, and it connected, then put Transformers back in, and it connected. I was using my Xbox, which I bought the wireless adapter for, so I can access the internet quite handily. I'm glad it...

    The A3 is $199 all over the internet. Amazon has it plus 2 movies at the checkout, with Bourne and 300 included in the box, plus 5 mail in. Good deal for somebody getting in.

    I can't think of a good reason *other than analog outputs* to buy a stand alone player vs. a PS3. Maybe not wanting a gaming system, but It would operate just like a standalone with the remote, so I think that's a bad reason to say.

    It's definately like that. The whole, give away movies with the player is interesting. Because they are already giving you a few of the razors with it. That means less razor buying. Seriously, my mustache looks good from the front, but terrible from the side. *hangs head in shame*

    When I turned 18, I got a free razor in the mail to promote the razor. I grow facial hair like a 12 year old however, and the same conversation happend at least 5 times. "Hey, it looks like you need to shave some of that peach fuzz" Me-"Yeah, actually I got a free fusion in the...

    And it's not counted in the Nielson video scan. Come on I had to. My dad owns a local busines, and I definatley understand the need for respect of local business. Wal-Mart is last resort for me.

    In my advanced speech class, we were given an assignment to make a powerpoint on anything we wanted. So I dutifully did a HD-DVD/Blu-Ray presentation. Of, course, any good speech needs a good opening line, something to drawn in the listeners, so of course mine was "Any body in the...

    Dual layer DVD burners took a long time to become really common. How far off is a quad layer Blu Ray burner, and how long would it take to burn 100 gigs? HD-DVD has the multi-layer ability as well. It theoretically could go over 3 layers. Besides, portable hard drives are more...

    It's actually in retailers intrest to sell you new products. They will educate people because its in THEIR intrest for people to WANT new products. Have you seen TV selections? Maybe one or two SD Tv's. The emphasis is on hi def. It'll never be as big as DVD, but theres still alot of...

    Even after nobody makes standard def TVs, no body broadcasts in standard definition, everyone will still buy standard def movies? Probably not.

    If HD-DVD began to dominate, I find it hard to believe they would never change positions. I dont' know what it would take, probably alot, but seriously. Eventually they'd have to change.

    Who cares what Bill says about HD-DVD fans. I only care about what he says about BD and HD-DVD itself. It's embarrassing that people email him to accuse him or say this or that, but with the things he says, it's obvious he'd get some sort of response.

    It looks like you guys don't know that they actually had all 15 of the perfect offer HD-DVD for $15. The new perfect offer discs. They had all 15 on sale on my Wal-Mart. I think that helps.

    About the attach rate. I think it could fall....but I think alot of these will definately be gifts. Obviously people will buy movies too for supplemental gifts.

    My friend and I went at 11 o clock to Minot's super walmart. There were none to be seen, so we asked the guy. Apparently, they had over 30 of them, and they were al gone by 8:30. Over 30. I think this is gonna be huge for Toshiba. I wouldn't be surprised if they come saying...

    I'm pretty sure the studios love the idea of such cheap hard ware. Does anyone doubt that Disney would die for a $100 blu-ray player right now?
