I will stick with DVD for a while, maybe a couple of years to see:
How much prices will drop.
How crazy they have gone with copy protection.
A dual format Blu Ray/HD DVD Player to appear.
How soon a recorder appears.
Most of all, if players incorporate an online autentication scheme, then I wont be upgrading at any cost; im sticking with DVDs, or wait until someone cracks their lame protections anyhow. -
I said "no" but took exception with the "I'll wait" part. I won't be waiting to buy one.

Just say no to HD/BD DVD.
PS: I may step in when players are $99 and a large library rental supplier emerges (a la Netflix) but my hope is a download to server rental business will allow me to skip the player.
PPS: I can get pay-per-view HDTV at full 1920x1080i resolution over Comcast or DBS. If I buy a HD/BD DVD player and HD/BD Discs, I only get 960x540 resolution. I think they should be paying me. -

Hey it's almost the end of the year. Who here has stepped up to bluray or hddvd????Donatello - The Shredder? Michelangelo - Maybe all that hardware is for making coleslaw? -
Too expensive for me still although due to the lower price and the favorable reviews I am leaning towards HD-DVD as the price point for Blu-Ray is just not realistic ... it's downright criminal!
I would like to eventually get a PS3 ... maybe even an Xbox 360 ... but I think those are still way too expensive.
It is a "light" Christmas for me this year as I am still recovering (i.e., making payments) on the HDTV I bought last Christmas.
However if I had the money to make the plunge I would probably buy an Xbox 360 Premium system with the HD-DVD add-on so I get games and HD-DVD instead of buying just an HD-DVD player.
As for the PS3 ... I'd rather wait for the first run production "bugs" to get worked out not to mention actually finding one is a trick right now.
I am confused by one thing though ... the XboX 360 + the HD-DVD add-on is more money than just buying a HD-DVD player whereas the PS3 is cheaper than a Blu-Ray player yet the PS3 does games AND plays Blu-Ray movies so ... what the hell kind of crazy ass pricing is that?

So if you strictly wanted just the basic and the hddvd I think that is still less than or exactly the same price as a ps3 I believe - but more importanly YOU CAN ACTUALLY FIND a xbox 360 on the shelf - GOOD LUCK TRYING TO FIND A PS3 nowDonatello - The Shredder?

What doesn't make any sense is the Sony PS3 price point. There you get a video game system AND Blu-Ray movie playback at a price point that is cheaper than a Blu-Ray movie only playback device.
I mean all of the Blu-Ray movie players I have seen have been $900 or $1,000 whereas a Sony PS3 is $600
THAT makes no sense !!!

Yeah but what doesn't make sense from the other angle is that a GAMING SYSTEM, what the PS3 really is, costs 200 dollars more than the XBOX 360!!!! That is what's insane.......

This year ... no ... already bought enough electronic stuff for xmas presents .
Mine was a new handsaw ... very handy thing that ... bugger , no batteries ... lol ... and a 50 acre farmlet .
As for next year ... I'll wait and see how blueray burner's and players stack up ... I would prefer the problem of the media being too easy to damage too be resolved ... sometime ... like now before they go nutt's on the format's .
I was just looking up one of the blueray pioneer unit's available at the moment for around $900 ... and noticed ... it can not do anything with cd's , and require's you to have another drive just for that purpose ... idiot's . -
Watched the PS3 and BluRay demo by Sony. They really get to another level of detail in visual, But I am not paying more than $399 for a player.
