| Bill All-Star Member 5334 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Feb 20 2008 : 7:47PM Given that I have 20 or so HD DVD's including some porn discs, I figure that spending $85 for a backup player is cheaper than replacing 3 HD DVD's with Blu-ray versions. [Link] |

| Bill All-Star Member 5334 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Feb 22 2008 : 11:20AM IMO, once you see Blu-ray 2.0 widely available, you will soon The Matrix on Blu-ray. [Link] |
| skronker Notable Legendary Icon Scopophiliac 9780 Posts 9/02 | Posted - Feb 22 2008 : 11:28AM None of this news means anything to me now. I'm glad Blu-Ray won, though. And Bill, your DVD is on the way. Rather than brave the post office, I may just throw a bunch of stamps on it and drop it in the corner mailbox. MOst of what I watch, I watch for work ... and half the time it's in a PAL format that only works on my laptop. Eventually, I'll have a flat panel with an HDMI input. But until GreenCine starts getting furrin and indie flicks in Blu-Ray, or Criterion upgrades, it's not all that necessary for me. I'm still watching Laserdiscs. (Thanks to Bill for the spare player, as well). [Link] |

| Bill All-Star Member 5334 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Feb 23 2008 : 12:44PM Once there is a significant market for Blu-ray discs, the price will come way down. Edited by - Bill on 2/23/2008 12:48:52 PM [Link] |

| Bill All-Star Member 5334 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Feb 23 2008 : 3:02PM For porn, I'll consider buying new HD DVD's on a case by case basis. [Link] |
| HeyNow Oblivious Gold Star Hey! 5965 Posts 1/03 | Posted - Feb 23 2008 : 3:59PM That's too bad if that is the case. Is Sony the one that has Blu-ray? Are they the ones that had Beta way back when? If so, finally things have gone their way for once. Please correct me if I am wrong. [Link] |
| Bill All-Star Member 5334 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Feb 23 2008 : 5:43PM I don't know about other Blu-ray players. But mine (Sony BDP-S1) doesn't play CD's. My HD DVD players do. One thing that sucks about that (other than the fact that you need two players to watch movies and play music) is that rather than burning firmware updates onto CD-R's, you have to burn firmware updates onto more expensive DVD's. None of the existing stand-alone Blu-ray players have an ethernet connection for downloading firmware directly to the player, so burning a DVD is a requirement. This isn't the case for the PS3, which can receive a firmware update from the Internet or a USB drive. Sony is the developer of Blu-ray. But, unlike with Beta, Sony has licensed the technology to many other hardware manufacturers. Toshiba was pretty much the only hardware manufacturer making HD DVD players. They kind of screwed themselves by trying to make their players as inexpensive as possible. With the low prices that they were charging, it was difficult to convince other manufacturers to make players because it wasn't profitable for them. They were better off making Blu-ray players that they could sell for a higher price. [Link] |
