Jason,

You belong to the "Bullshit Hater's Club", too? I belong to that club, as well. I've been a member for over 25-years -- pretty much after I graduated High School. It's always nice to run into a fellow member. I do need to get a new picture on my membership card, though -- my old pic is from about 15-years ago. Nevertheless, awesome to meet a fellow member!

Tim

Tim,

I'm not only the founder, I'm also a member.

Jason, not ready for the Rogaine...depending on who you ask

will you stop your gripes when a suitable player does come out?, besides the ps3?
How many times must we hear about this price point? Online Features?
It is new technology, why do we have rediculous posts like this?
I for one won't buy a plasma HDtv until they are at least 200 for a 40", this whole move to HD programming is stupid. I got a 40" SD from my friend for free when he got a new tv. Until HDtv can offer me a deal like that, then it's no go for me sir.
I'm also sure that 90% of the people out there, won't buy a BR until they can chat with their friends online while watching a movie together.

"Captain Kirk's getting ANGRY!!!!"

Wasn't there an article that said that HDTVs weren't gona get that cheap this year? I know what you mean about pricing, but what can we do? Nothing, as sad as it may sound...

And nice post Tim!

KAAHHHHNNNN!

There will never be a perfect sollution...no matter what format you choose to adopt, there will always be something offering a little more down the road...be it in consumer electronics, appliances, cars, whatever...this is what drives the economy...built in obsolescents...

I bough into HD DVD in November 2007 because it seemed to be the horse I wanted to back and I thought it would go the distance...it didn't...oh well, so sad...

But do I regret buying that Toshiba HD-A3 for $300 CDN? Not at all.

It allowed me to enjoy my HD TV with a greater variety of entertainment options. The BBC Planet Earth HD DVD was worth the investment alone for I can watch that series over and over and over again

True, the bottom fell out of the HD DVD marketing schema when Warner said they were going to go Blu exclusive...but you know what? Warner is still releasing what the said they would and for that I commend them...they don't need to.

Paramount and Universal couldn't drop the format fast enough and have left people in both the Blu-ray and HD DVD camps scratching our collective heads trying to figure out where their heads are at...all I know is I got stiffed on my Jack Ryan HD DVD set once again

There are and will be for the visible future a decent supply of titles available on HD DVD...not everything mind you, but enough for you to enjoy your investment as I have enjoyed mine.

Hell, if you don't mind paying a little more, you can even get titles on HD DVD from Europe that are either not available at all in North America on HD DVD or Blu-ray or are Blu-ray exclusive. T2 comes to mind and so does Reservoir Dogs and Crank...but my tastes in movie might differ from yours.

Or, buy a Samsung or LG combo player and future-proof yourself...I did and am loving every minute of it.

Or you can sit here and piss and moan into the wind about not finding a format or a player that does your sensibilities justice...suck it up buttercup and enjoy what is available and not what you think should be available.

True fans embrace the new and untested...fair-weather fans moan about not having their needs met all the time...which one are you choosing to be :
