Is that x.v.color thing, what they call 'deep color'?

Sony calls this 'live color creation' right for their tv's, right? Or is live color creation a whole different thing?

Edit: do the sony XDR 1080p tv support x.v.color and/or deep color? And does it have HDMI 1.3?

Did you have to pay for tax and shipping? If so how much for shipping?

Sony was ready for this.

SOny knew that HD DVD players were going to be slashed.

So they had this player ready for price point as a counter offense.

Now what will be very exciting for us Blu Ray Supporters are the sales numbers and change of market share and most important, HD DVD Counter Defenses.

Go Blu Ray!

I'd be willing to bet that it was the other way around. Toshiba started a fire sale probably after receiving advanced word that Sony was ready to release the S300.

Some of us had been saying since the beginning of 2006 (when HD DVD announced $499 for their 1G players) that any CE company of the BDA could cut prices to "compete" if they felt the need to do so. The fact that they have not yet decided to compete with price parity, and still lead in disc sales week after week tells you how they feel about their prospects. HD DVD had the first to market advantage. I do truly feel that BD probably would not have launched until 2007 had it not been for HD DVD. All the BD companies did was make sure they didn't get too far behind before they were 100% ready. I wonder if the fact that they are ahead is actually where they thought they'd be (at this point in time)?

This is why I laugh when people like HPforMe and plazman over at AVMS make posts like BD supporters are nervous or the BDA is nervous. It's just so utterly ridiculous, and shows you how far gone some people are.

No, I got in on the last day of free shipping, but had to pay tax. I have a Samsung 56" DLP, 1080p tv, and i'm can't wait to see the picture! The reason I bought the tv was because that model was on display with the BDP-1 and looked amazing.

Wonder when we can expect portable Blu-Ray players, so I can take my HD goodness with me
