Blu-Ray and HD-DVD can kiss my .... - Page 2

Cpt, you sound like a Fanboy to me.

But its all good. Regardless of which technology is superior, I think HD-DVD will win out because of the name familiarity. HD...They like that... then they hear "DVD" oh, I'm a stupid American, I like it!

Then they hear blu-ray disc... "Oh dat dun gosh dere technolgy too technikal fer meh"

Regardless. I want the Holodisc to win.... Man... The size of games!

Have a read of this: Blu-ray Total Sales Surpass HD DVD. I realise its early days, as it were, but still interesting all the same. I'm of course neutral

I'll be buying a HD or Blue-Ray Player and a Burner as soon as the price comes down.
More space is always better in my book, and AnyDVD already has the scoop on HD
and Blu-Ray :-)

i'm not a fanboy lol!! I apreciate good things for their objective value!
Hearing a starwars music in 6.1 DTS ES lossless is something that makes me cry. Look at the landscapes of Oblivion, while hearing the beautiful songs by Jeremy Soule, is something that makes me dream.
I didn't especially want a PS3, nor anything that comes with it,but when my father showed me the ice age 2 for the first time... (my father is a HI-FI lover since he was 14. ) i realized how far this could go. I'm a music lover for myself lol! So a Mozart classical without any compression is something very intense. (I hope they remaster concert in blu-ray)

Mozart eh? Niiiiceee..

But I'd rather hear Two minutes to minute screaming from my speakers!

I have yet to sample "High Definition", cause thats how poor college students roll.

Lol, I am a college student!! First year in physics, mathematics and informatic!! (it's only one section lol, i wouldn't have the courage to pass three series of exams!)
I'm willing to become a pilot or an astro-physics researcher.

No it's my father who buys all that stuff! I don't have enough money to buy myself a mobile phone card every month!!

So if you don't like hd-dvd and blu-ray what are you going to use until then? Are you going to go 2 years with dvd upscaling to 1080p

modock22 · 06-04-2007, 08:36 PM

i still own a 29in crt rounded front tv.
and do you think for one instant my blind ass is going to spend the cash on a hd-tv?
hell no not untill my tv breaks and i can buy a hd-tv for less than 400bucks!
srry but putting food on the table is way more important to me then again so is buying a bigger hdd for my puter :P

TheSalesRep · 06-04-2007, 11:21 PM

You actually can man, you can buy a 22inch lcd for around $270 with an hdmi port and get a usb tv tuner for around 30 bucks + another 30 bucks for a hdtv anntenna and you can watch local channels in hd or just pop in a direct sattellite hmdi cable from your hd box to your lcd monitor. so basically you need to spend $270 to around $330

PBond12 · 06-05-2007, 04:50 PM

YEah, I think the HDTV thing is the way to go. I'm going to wait for some serious commodity pricing to set in before getting any kind of HD dvd device.
