This will make a GREAT UPCONVERTER. Also cool that amazon doesn't charge shipping & taxes... at least not in my state, anyway.

Why don't people who own Blu Ray Players understand that they will have to chuck them into the trash later this year
Why on earth would anyone be forced to "chuck" their Blu-ray player in the trash later this year? Oh.... FUD, sorry. I understand now!

Confused by all the Blu Ray Blurry-ness,
First off what is "FUD"??
I want to point out that the current Blu Ray stand alone players don't have the capabilities of picture and picture and download new content (Only the PS3 aka Blu Ray Player, aka wanna be video game player) that will be in all the new movies coming out for Blu Ray this year. Only, the new players coming out (who knows when, delay after delay) will have these features.
I want to point out that HD DVD as always had the features and cost 60% to 70% less per stand alone player. Humm!!! Consumers will clearly see this as a huge plus in HD DVD's favor (Cost and Features). HD DVD Discs are cheaper to manufacture and now will be roughly the same size as Blu Ray (51 GB vs 50 GB).
Cheers,

FUD = Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt <Info link
And after all of your "pointing out" above, maybe you can point out that Blu-ray players and discs OUTSELL HD-DVD... understand?
SALES MATTER. Ask Warner Brothers.

More Blu Ray Kool Aid Please!!!
You seem to forget that Warner and Fox had to be bribed ($600 Million and $120 Million) to not go HD DVD Exclusive. Humm, I guess Sony had to beg them to go Blu.
Facts are Facts and BS is BS!!! Enjoy your Blu Kool Aid!!! Have some ice too and chill out.
Humbly,
(Don't you just love little edgy discussion's??). Remember this banter between us isn't personal, its business. Lets enjoy it.

Well clearly the consumers you talk of didn't see this as a huge plus in the last 13 months, even with the Paramount going HD DVD exclusive and the Transformers movie release. When do you expect consumers to finally see more "clearly"?

When HD players become reasonably priced to the general public. Which, as we all know, has just very recently happened with Toshiba's HD-DVD players.

fe_toad, even if they give them away free (well they technically are free now with the included 7 movies), it hasn't resulted in higher software sales so far. Are you sure that the consumer demographic who demands "free hardware" or $99 players before getting into HD are the ones who will be most likely to buy $30 to $40 dollar software for it?
I'm afraid things are going to get much worse once the summer starts and Warner begins to release titles on Blu-ray only. It's forecasted that Blu-ray will sell about $800 million to one billion in movie sales for 2008. You don't think Paramount will want part of this pie ever?
