Man ... for $40 more, you could have gotten a brand new one with a warranty - brand new copies of your movies plus the Heroes boxset and 5 movies you could resell. I was inches away from buying a used one from Gamestop just weeks earlier. I wanted the 5 free HD-DVDs, but just passed. I am glad I did ... but welcome to the club.

I will admit - after I got my HD projector and watched DVDs, I was sold on keeping my DVD collection growing and not worrying about the HD revolution.

However, after getting the HD-DVD deal yesterday and oogling over Transformers, I put in 'The Matrix' to see if I could tell the difference. The answer? YES. It's a huge difference.

I am truly amazed - I can't wait to see it on my projector.

Yeah, I really didn't expect to see the jump in quality like I did. I thought it was going to be pretty minor and not something I noticeexcept for really stunning scenes but having the HD player really made a large noticeable difference.


Have you visited that hi-def site Goosegaws posted? I am gonna try and pick up some really cheap movies off of there. With the jump in quality, as much as I love movies, I am really doing some re-examining of my DVD collection.

I know I want The Matrix, all of the Bournes, V for Vendetta and a few others. I can't wait to see The Kingdom in HD. 

I wanted to make the jump to HD, but never felt like being on the losing side, like you twestern. But now after I got the deal, I am like 'You know, does it matter?' I am watching movies the way they should be watched and got tons of HD-DVDs in the process. Who could ask for more?!
