my last stand

i have decided to order i am legend on HD DVD, i do think this could be the last title i will probably purchase.

what will be yours? :

Well, as long as I keep finding $10 clearance sales on the internet, who knows what will end up being my last HD-DVD purchase(?). I guess you mean 'pre-order', huh? Perhaps Warner's Twister (late May), although I'll wait for a sale later to buu it (either on HD-DVD or Blu-ray).

-JIMI (the Voodoo Child)

I have I Am Legend on pre-order also but it's not going to be my last HD DVD by any means. There are roughly 400 HD DVD's in North America plus all the "bluray exclusives" in Europe so I'll be buying for a while and bargain shopping like Hendrix.

When I get my bluray player I'll take it from there but I won't buy anything on bluray that I already have on HD DVD of course as that would not make sense.

Yea Falcon, if I owned both I would'nt double dip either. But I do recommend that you get an additional HDDVD player for all of those movies. It would be a shame if something happened and you have no player. Just a thought.

If I somehow score a combo player for cheap...say $300 that would be cool but either way I still see HD DVD players for sale on craigslist, ebay, amazon, etc so I should be ok for a while.

Having said that my HD-A2 has been acting up in the last couple of days so I'm keeping my eyes out for good deals.

Tony, how many bluray movies do you have currently? Just curious.

Acting up how Falcon?

I had my Income Tax done today and for once I didn't get sent to the cleaners. Soooo...it looks as if a Panasonic BDP-30 might be in my near future (I already told my wife. She just smiled). And I agree, I Am Legend might very well be my last full price HD DVD purchase other then some imports on Xploited as long as they are available.

It'll be at least another year before I own all the HD DVD's I want. So, there's no telling what the LAST HD DVD i'll buy will be.

The HD-A2 has been making a weird noise when trying to read a disc. Like a vibrating spinning noise. I threw in a DVD once a couple of days ago and I got an error message that said "invalid DVD format" or something to that effect. I ejected the disc and it loaded up fine the second time but I still hear the vibrating spinning noise every once in a while.

Also I recently purchased a brand new sealed 300 HD DVD (not the combo disc) and it loads up, I see the FBI logo and then the Warner Bros logo, then..."system error occurred" shows up on the screen. I tried it several times, tried hardbooting the player (unplug the powercord for a minute then plug it back in and turn it on) but the same thing happens everytime I try and play this particular disc.

I had a problem updating from firmware version 2.2 to 2.8 a couple of weeks ago. I never got it to update and this have been happening since. I'm gonna call Toshiba on Monday to see if they have a resolution for my firmware update issue.

Here's one we all missed. Russian with Scottish subtitles. Or is it Scottish with Russian subtitles?
