Yay! for Blu-ray

Blockbuster favors Blu-ray to HD DVD - Tech News & Reviews - MSNBC.com

Good news for you blu-ray/ps3 fans.

I hate the format war. I want to buy a player but don't want something that's going to be useless in a year or 2.

I still think HD-DVD will win out. Blue-ray will probably stick around but it's priced out of the market. This xmas season will probably tell a lot. Rumors are already starting about low cost hd-dvd players. They're already down to $299 with the manufacturer's rebate for the toshiba hd-a2. Blue ray players were "reduced" to $599 or something like that.

Good post. I am in the same boat. I came into the scene very early when Plasma/LCD was much more expensive when I went the DLP route. Beta produced much more quality but it lost as well. Who wins? Whatever. Just figure it out so I can make the switch.

People are predicting $199 hd-dvd players on black friday. There was actually one on slickdeals or one of those sites for $199 last week.

Welcome. Just looking out for your well being. Hate to see someone fall into a downward spiral like that.

Buying a $199 hd-dvd player is like buying a walmart $20 dvd player. I'll stay away from that and get something worth the money.
