Really, HD DVD was short-lived. My motto is: feel sorry for the people in Africa or others who really deserve it...not for early adopters who get burned trying to dabble in new technologies.

I have a lot of SACD's and a Sony SCD-1 that is now used on a secondary system. Really for me, since I got the Chord Red Reference CD player, it is Redbook of course, will play the CD layer of a hybrid SACD. But, SACD is really now behind me. Still have a Pioneer LD-22 LD player, but rarely watch it anymore. It was great in it's day. I might have to unload it on Ebay.
Ouch. Point taken. - grantv 13:50:47 02/18/08 (0)
As for LD and SACD:
-LD was fairly long lived, so I think they pay-off was semi-reasonable.
-SACD, I thought this format was still kicking, no? I always thought it the better alternative as DVD-A necessitated a screen IIRC.
