| | Posted: | | | | With all the DVDs you buy, you guys should really consider picking up a Blu-ray and HD DVD players. Compared to all the money spent on DVDs, player costs are really not that prohibitive. Once you start seeing movies in high-def, it's tough to spend any money on SD DVDs, especially when they are going to be available in high-def format at the same time. | | | | My Home Theater |

Right...and when both Blu-ray and HD DVD go the way of Beta in a couple of years, we're stuck with 2 HD players and a bunch of coasters Neither format will completely disappear anytime soon. Even if one format was to lose the format war, you'll be able to pickup players on EBay to play the "coasters" for next 20 years. Just look at LD player listings on the auction site. I would rather have a pile of discs in high-def that is extinct, over a pile of DVDs. My biggest problem nowadays is to figure out what to do with all the DVDs I'm replacing with high-def. You don't get much for trading them in, selling them on auction is a pain, and most of my friends and relatives don't appreciate DVDs. | | | | My Home Theater |

Even if both go the way of the dinosaur, YOU will still be able to watch them and YOU will still be able to do so in hi-def. If a format fails, the discs don't suddenly degrade and cease working. I'm not saying that you should jump on the HD bandwagon (I still haven't), but your argument is seriously flawed. | | | | Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!) |

This sounds like a reasonable idea...for somebody with a hi-def display. For those of us without, it sounds like a non-starter.  |

How about then "With all the DVDs you buy, you guys should really consider picking up a HDTV. Compared to all the money spent on DVDs, HDTVs are really not that prohibitive. Once you start seeing movies in widescreen HDTV, it's tough to go back to SDTV, especially when the DVDs are encoded in anamorphic widescreen." Now I like that a lot better. Problem is my wife. Whenever I ask to spend a thousand bucks, she shuts me down. When I ask to spend 10 bucks, 100 times, I have better success.  | | | | Last edited: by mdnitoil |
