no 1080p

What a joke, whats the point of it ?

Pay 2/3k for a giant tv then get some cheap ass player, makes no sense.

Yeah, what a joke. 1080i almost looks the same as 1080p and most people dont spend anywhere near 2/3k on a tv.

Wal-mart could sell 5 million players in a single holiday season, probably more.

 LOL, that is probably true and that is only Walmart!  What if places like Best buy and circuit city had some of these to sell.

I doubt those that dont will care much about HD, the probably buy the tv casue its small.

 



I still don't need or want one, though the free movie offers have made them a bit more tempting.



Numbers are like people. Torture them enough and you can get them to say anything you want.

Yeah, what's the point of having better picture for a better price?

Way to carry the torch for those one percenters who rock 1080p HDTVs, Killzone. Martin Luther King would be proud of your devotion to their cause.

I think its time to face the facts - both formats are here to stay.

I actually have my money on HD-DVD (slightly) dominating in the long term.

...

IMO, this highlights Sony's strategy (including a BluRay drive in the PS3) as even more wrong. I don't see any compelling argument that its necessary for games. It delayed the launch of the device by 6 months. It pushes the price up, making PS3s less affordable.

You'll see cheap hybrid players out within 12 months. This means that most companies will gravitate towards the cheaper manufacturing process - which is HD-DVD.

I also think that HD-DVD owners will end up with a higher attach rate than BluRay owners - and the PS3 is only going to this equation a lot worse. Include PS3 owners - and the attach rate is worse. Exclude them - and there aren't enough drives on the market to warrant a release.

...

If I could get a HD-DVD player PLUS transformers for $199(AU) - I would be sold. My TV still looks great, and does 1080i - which is all I care about.

Every tv hitting stores now 1080p now, its the new standart.



Every single TV that is selling now is only 1080p?
