In Reply to: Another reason, among many, that I'll remain on the HD player sidelines for a while. posted by jsm on October 3, 2007 at 14:12:07:
I adopted into DVD players as soon as they hit this smallish town (I literally went from store to store until I found one that sold them). My first player was a DVP-3000 or something. There was only one rental stoe in town that had DVD's at the time, and not many at that. Up here in Canada it cost me about $900 (still have it in the bedroom).
Same for a DVD recorder instead of a VCR in my main room. Paid $650 as it was a new thing. Even that one gets me a bit with the +'s and -'s, but it's only for time shifting.
As for the new players, I'll likely wait it out. The last thing I want is to buy a new player, perhaps a few discs, and then Blockbuster stops renting the discs. Then I'm stuck with a piece of garbage.
