Should I consider buying a Blu-Ray/HD Player? - Blu-ray Forum

PaulDHolloway · 06-15-2011, 02:32 AM

There are a couple players on Ebay that are selling a combo that use both blu-ray and HD. Wondering if it would be a good idea to get that or stick with finding a good blu-ray player?

There aren't too many films anymore that were available on HDDVD but not Blu-ray. I can't see why anyone would buy one.

Don't bother. You'll get an outdated Blu-ray player that can play a dead format.

unless you got some giveaway deal on a bunch of HD-DVD's, there would be no reason to do this... and even then... once the player eventually "dies" you most likely will not be able to find another one...

Unless you have about 50 HD DVD`s like me stay with a simple BR player .
