The rout is on for Blu-Ray

Since it looks like the end of Hd, I would recomend holding off on purchasing a Blu player, until they can work out the kinks.

That's what angers me. For the past year I was watching lots of well-made, enjoyable HD DVDs on my totally reliable, upgradeable, and stupid cheap Toshiba HD-D3. Now for the next year or two I'll be doing without as I wait for Blu-ray technology to catch up in features, reliability, and affordability.

If anybody comes across some fire sales for HD DVD discs, I'd appreciate the info.

In NY Times Business section today is Toshiba announcement they will stop making HD DVD players. Its over. Blu-Ray wins. Expect prices to rise.

Jdodmead ......you mentioned that Blu-Ray has a superior picture. Check out an HD-DVD movie on the Toshiba HD X-A2 player before you make that judgement.

This whole situation is very frustrating, marketing and back room deals has won over quality, ready for market, reliable product..........are you kidding me?

Oh...... I guess nobody's heard the BIG news yet.

Toshiba is also throwing in the towel on HD-DVD. So..... don't be surprised if you start seeing Toshibas going for dirt cheap pretty soon.

So now, Blue-Ray has the field all to themselves. So now, I guess it's going to be a Blue-Ray Player for me as well. But right now, I am still recovering from that Panasonic Plasma TV that I just recently purchased. It may take me a while to do that.

But anyway, I see adding a Blue-Ray machine to my home theater system sometime before the year is over. I think I am going to wait until the new ones come out in the fall and see what's going to be on offer then.

Until The Next Time!!!!!!

P.S.: Damn....... I'm glad I've held out and waited. I "KNEW" this shit was going to happen. I "JUST" knew it (LOL)!!!!!
