When you say all this technoism do you mean like every thing you mentioned or just the blu-ray player. I really have to get my hands on one of those blu-rays.

I'll take it!!!


Not really, sorry. I really want a writer for my pc but that will cost a fortune for about the next 5 years. It is a shame that hddvd ever came out.

Re: blu-ray out and about

Way too expensive for my tastes. Besides I must be blind or something I think because I watched a demo at a local electronics shop of a blu-ray movie and normal dvd upscaled to hd playing simultaneously using same hdmi cables and same 52" plasma high def tv. I did not see hardly any difference between the two both running at 1080i. Admittedly at 720p the blu-ray was slightly more noticeably different. But not enough that I'm going to buy the more than $1000 dollar blu-ray player when the HD upscalable dvd player was less than $100. It will be a long time before either blu-ray or HD-DVD is going to take over the DVD market.
