Enjoy your HD-DVD discs while you have a player that works. After that, perhaps you can frame them.

I have never been, nor shall I be a "purple nurple". People fail to realize I am not a rabbid "blu-blood" fan boy. I do support the format with my whole heart, but I also look for ways to spare the innocents from further insult to injury.

Yes, "Caveat Emptor" - Let the buyer beware. But this isn't like buying shoddy retreaded tires for your car. The players are not replaceable. At least as a show of good faith, Toshiba needs ONE "purple player". Never said they need to make them until blu-ray itself dies.

Accusations of trying to pump new life into HD DVD is idiotic. The studios have abandoned the format. It gets made for the same reason why you can still buy VCR players. Because people DO use and need them. Period.
