HD-DVD owners show they're happy with their machines

Unlike some reports on the web - and some posts here. HD-DVD owners are not dumping their players and disks - they are buying.

And to be quite honest, why would I not be happy with my HD DVD player?

It continues to work beautifully with HD DVD software as well as SD software.

And as long as the suppliers of software continue to support my HD DVD addiction...Hello, my name is Andy and I have an addiction...I will continue to buy HD DVD software...next up, Beowulf

Very true. Still love my HD it works like a gem.

I mean do you get get rid of Rover just 'cuz he use to fetch FHM from the mail box every month and then FHM gets canceled?

I think not!!

LOL
yea even I don't know where I come up with these sometimes.

OK, call me "Happy".

I have 2 HD-A30's and 1 HD-A35, and since the initial firmware updates they work perfectly.

My 2nd P$3 dud is heading back for repair again, but when it was working it worked perfectly too.

HOLY CRAP!!! ALMOST A 2000% INCREASE IN SALES!!

Anyone have the figures of hi def sales (any format) compared to SD DVD?

I am very happy with HD-DVD and my A2. As a mtter of fact, I just bought last night an A30 and an XBOX HD-DVD add-on. I just got also yesterday from Amazon Matrix Trilogy, T3, and HP and the Order of the Phoenix. I bought today Planet Earth and 2001: Space Odyssey, and I'm buying online imports of Resident Evil Trilogy (who said they're BD exclusive ) and many more.

wil-lite... I hope you're not planning on using the Component Output for expected HD viewing of those RESIDENT EVIL German imports. These HD-DVD versions are among a handful of releases where the distributor actually decided to enforce the 'image constraint token' for any output other than HDMI (you are safe here).

From the HighDefDigest review --

Important Notice: This German 'Resident Evil' disc is one of the first HD DVDs to be flagged with an Image Constraint Token. If your HD DVD player is connected by HDMI to your display, there should be no issue in viewing the movie at its full 1080p resolution. Unfortunately, viewers connected by Component Video will find the image downconverted to 480p Standard Definition. This is extremely disappointing, to say the least.

My HD-A3 is making its way into my relatives bedrooms and livingrooms. Too bad it's too late. I will also keep upconverting my DVDs until Blu Ray is around my pricerange of $100-$150. I spent that much for the HD player so I will not spend andymore for an incomplete format just because Sony says so, I still have the winning format to look forward to, DVD. If DVD could implement the HDi technology for the on screen real time menus, I would just stick with DVD for life.
