Thought this might be a fun thread to share. It will be interesting to see how much "video experience" we have and could be insightful as to why our opinions vary so much.
About Feb 1986 was my first Panasonic VHS VCR. Broke down twice and repaired. It's broken again but I hope to get it repaired because it was such a great unit. One or two other units bought along the way.
December 2002 Bought my first DVD/VCR combo for my room. Couldn't believe it was the same old tv when I saw the picture from DVD.
Followed by another in 2003 when I bought my Sony HD-TV.
August 2007 bought blu-ray and sold my first DVD/VHS combo for 50 bucks.
5 blu-titles in the house now and waiting for my 5 freebies.
There is no going back.
I would buy HD-DVD before going back to anything less. ...Wow, did I just say that?
