When Toshiba announce that they will stop making HD-DVD
Are any of you guy consider picking one up on clearance shelf as upconverted DVD?
If it's like $50 or less I might.

After all the Tosh/DUD BS? Let me think...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Not one penny to them.

Hell No!!!!

ESUNintel · 01-24-2008, 04:52 AM

No HD-DVD player for me. I might buy one of their Blu-ray players though, just to show they have made the right choice

I would rather beat myself in the head with a spiked bat then ever allow a garbage piece of equipment touch my home.

When they start giving them away in cereal boxes for a substitute to decoder rings, I might get one...of course it will be put away in the attic or used for target practice.

NM...I can't find what I was looking for, so I deleted my response here.

I smell a new game coming up.

"Name that New DUD player price!"

It will be fun to keep track of the price drops and the blowout give aways with each player as the DUD format keeps disintigrating.

Didn't we have a similar thread like this yesterday?

I am amazed at the level of faboyism on this site although I shouldnt be, it is blu-ray.com after all.

I love Blu-ray just as much as the next person but there is a price point where I would just buy an HD DVD Player.

When the cost of a 1080p HD DVD player is equal to that of one Blu-ray movie (it will happen) AND if my favorite movies that are exclusive to HD DVD arent out on Blu yet (Serenity, Casino, Batman Begins, Anchorman, etc) I may just buy one.

Let's face it, when these movies come out on Blu they will just be port overs. They are not going to encode them for Blu.
