Just finished adding Bluray and Toshiba HD DVD to my A system.

1) These formats are fantastic! Even at 720P, picture is clearly
superior. Up to 1080P shows a smaller jump in quality, but if you have
a BIG HD set this is worth it.

2) Players are pricey. A dual format LG will cost close to a grand,
again more than Scotty's boat.

3) Movie selection is still very limited.

4) We watched the new version of King Kong and the improvement over
the standard DVD is huge.


My tip: Wait at least 6 months before getting near these formats.
You'll pay less for a player and more movies will be available. These
are best for those of you who own good/big displays.

Cheers!

BlueRay is going the way of BetaMax.

Very bad choice.

780p is even worse, stores are dumping them cheap because 1080p is the way
to go.

Maybe if you had real money you could buy a real system.

Very bad choice.


Choice? I have both systems!

Dumping what, Sockpuppet Loyd? I have 720P and 1080P based systems!

Oh, is there a system better than having both, Loyd???

BWAHAHAHAHAAHHA!

Why would anyone waste money on a 720P?

Yes but one cannot purchase it at a discount store.

"Blue Ray" special on aisle 6 - better hurry up and get one!

Stop shopping at S.S. Kresge's.

Sorry Loyd Puppet. I have both Blue ray and HD DVD. They are the only
HD system formats supported by studios. Having one and not the other
is hardly state of the art. Most BR films are not available on HD and
so on. You need both.


Bye bye, sockpuppet!

The key is not to make a choice. - Get one of each, but wait until the
price drops, around January-February. Also, you need a large screen HD
TV to appreciate them. - Mine is 92 inches, and it's somewhat on the
small size.

Yup, I'm using the LG Dual format in the theatre room. It plays
everything. I have Toshiba HD in the living room. The advantages of HD
can be seen on my 42 inch screen and obviously on this system.....

The fact that I have this stuff....nice audio/video, nice cars and a
nice boat....beautiful wife and son....it all drives failures like
Scotty nuts. The sockpuppets, who are even sadder, are also flipped
out by it!

If Scotty had kept his Mac instead of buying that strange German boat he
would have plenty of money to buy a nice HD home theater.

We like our RCA 25'' color TV. Gets great reception.
If I turn the antennae we can get 8 different channels.
