Yea but in this case it's pretty cool. Crazy how some people end up at this forum!

...and to close the book on our BluRay versus HD-DVD arguments here, I just saw an advertisement for Transformers on BluRay.

Kill Bill(s) come out this month on B.R. and the Matrix(s) will be out in Oct

Funny, not fair, but funny in retrospect that when NotOnMyWatch was saying that HD-DVD had not yet lost, poor old HD-DVD had already taken a round right through the heart.

I am still not going to pay $300 for a player, or buy a game console for almost the same price, then pay $35 per disc and a new TV just to get this.
When prices drop a bit I'll think about it.
Get them down to the prices of current DVD stuff and we'll do some talking.
I am really enjoying the price drop on regular DVD's though!

Yeah, I'm with you. I'm not on the Blu-train.

I have considered spending like $150 on a PC mounted drive, but what would be the point?
The discs are still too expensive and I don't really want to watch TV on my computer.

I agree the blu ray disc's are still way to expensive. Some have dropped in the price but most are still $30. BTW I have PS3 with a compatiable TV but I still don't want to shell out 30 bucks for a disc. The only one I would really want in blu ray is "Gone in sixty seconds"

I bought up a ton of HD DVD movies for like $5 each. I'm waiting for the dual format players to get better and to drop in price by a decent amount because I ain't tossing out my 36 HD DVD movies!

LOL... don't hold your breath, man. Think of all the poor souls who died holding their breath while waiting for the greater availability of dual format VHS/BetaMax machines.

Yeah, don't hold your breath waiting for "dual format" players....

If it makes you feel better, the HD DVD Players were, IMHO, much better at "upscaling" your existing DVD collection, than Blu-Ray players.... So your HD DVD player may have a purpose for some time....

There's supposedly a price cut coming on Blu-Ray Players...

I sold my xbox 360 HD-DVD add-on and 6 HD-DVDs on ebay for $80.

:Harumph:

You could always keep them for a few years and sell them to a museum?

what price range would you say is good to buy Blu ray players? I saw two for $278 in a store called "Brandsmart" in Miami. I would say thats a pretty good price to buy them at. Then again you can get the PS3 for $300 and it does alot more stuff then just the Blu ray player.
