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 a reason why you still have not gone the FP route?
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!
I had to quote that again because I take much grief from my friends and family about all those movies. My stock answer has always been, "Because I enjoy it…it makes me happy." Personally, the feeling I get is priceless. I suggest you go out and find whatever makes you happy. Just don't hurt anyone in the process.
