| Wingshot said: I am with Brainbox - upscaling is fine. I am not convinced either format is going to "win" - meaning replace DVD's. I think it is quite possibel the consumers may be much slower to adopt a new disc format and could easily go with other HD sources including online distribution. If the consumer does not adopt a format in the next few years we could easily see some other HD content distribution/format making both HD DVD and Blu Ray just a footnote alongside Betamax. |
I was with you guys also until the $98 HD DVD player dropped in my lap (well, at my local walmart). I was looking at getting an Oppo upscale player, but I must say that the A2 is a fantastic upscale player, so I pretty much got HD DVD for no extra cost.
As for the movies I can't get because they are only Blu-ray. Meh, I can wait. I really don't need it. Especially for animated movies (Pixar, etc.), the difference between DVD and HD aren't as great. At least I don't notice them as much for animated movies.
