I actually agree. My friend gave me the Planet Earth's ripped at 720p. They look really good, but weigh in around 25-30 gigs or so. I cannot stress enough that you shouldn't buy an HD-DVD player. You are just going to cheat yourself out of money in the long run, since you seem to be a hardcore FF fan/JRPG fan. My recommendations are to just bite the bullet and get a PS3/Blu-Ray player, or pirate the movies you want to see. The DRM on HD-DVD has been broken, so you shouldn't have many problems. Just hook up your computer to your TV through S-video or whatever methods you have if you really want to use the TV.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
