Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I gave up on AVS's fanboys/idiots/kiddees months ago.

I bought a Toshiba X1 HD DVD player months ago and have accumulated about 80 movies since then. Replaced the X1 with an X2 and am even happier. I'm THRILLED with how movies on HD DVD look and sound. I chose HD over BD because I don't much like bully-Sony after THREE copies of a damned-expensive ($2500) Sony computer monitor failed, the last one out of warranty.

However, over a week ago I started looking for the Samsung 5000 dual-format player. Haven't found one yet, but it's ordered. Meanwhile I've bought about a half-dozen BDs...movies that I love...and will buy more. But I'm still buying new HD DVDs and, I suppose, I'll buy HDs rather than BDs of double-released movies.

MAYBE BD has 'won', but soon I'll be able to play them all.

And I agree with the postists who write that people want discs in hand rather than downloaded copies on harddrives. How many of us have backups of their harddrive contents? I do and create a new one every few weeks. Remember, boys and girls, there are only TWO kinds of harddrives--those that have failed and those that will.
