I have a love/hate relationship with technology (as do many others I'm sure). I'm going to upgrade my DVD player, although my TV does not have DVI/HDMI. My first question is should I wait for HD-DVD/Blu ray? My guess is that I would have to wait a couple of years before things are competitively priced and a lot of titles are available. (I realize that there will be some sort of launch in Dec. '05 and that many studios have joined the bandwagon....of course, that says nothing about the fact that HD-DVD and Blu ray are competitors (can anyone say Beta v. VHS?)...but I digress.)
I realize that if I wait (for the aforementioned), I'll probably have to upgrade the tv in order to take advantage of the enhanced picture (i.e. I need a tv with a DVI/HDMI connection).
I really would like to get something now...but I also want DVD-A and SACD. I'd hate to spend a lot of coin on a universal player now, when I'm just going to change everything in a few years. OTOH, I would love to buy a smokin CD player (DVD-A and SACD compatible)...but it seems like if I get a really good Universal CD player, I might as well get a DVD player thrown in as well (as the majority of universal players seem to also include DVD-Video). I can always get a HD-DVD/Blu ray player later and just use the Universal player as a CD player.
Any thoughts/suggestions/comments? Anyone know a good gun dealer?
