I Won! So now I HAVE to go with *BluRay*

[mirrodie]

So I just got a phone call that I won the Disney BluRay Disc collection!

Its over 3 dozen Disney Classics and Motion pictures worth over $1200.
So it looks like the baby got a nice gift for the holidays!

And while I've been sitting back and waiting for the Blue Ray-HDDVD epic to play out, looks like we'll be leaning toward BluRay for the time being.

Congrats. I've been considering getting a PlayStation 3 just because it's the cheapest BluRay player on the market. There are some major movies coming out exclusively on BluRay which might give it an advantage. However, I saw Wal-Mart selling a Toshiba HD-DVD player for $99! That might be the tipping point. LG just released the first dual format player, but it's about $1,000.

Congrats on the winning! I'm trying to decide which one to buy. I still have a first generation DVD player the Toshiba SD-3007, its a fantastic machine and up to now I've had no reason to replace it, so I to will sit back and wait.

It does seem like Blu-Ray's winning. Unfortunately, I bought 'One-Six Right' on HD-DVD and just so happened to find a deal on an HD-DVD player for $180 so it's currently HD-DVD for me.

Hey Mario, go with Beta, you won't regret it

And congratulations!

Actually, Moose, what's REALLY scary is that MOST of the people here are too young to even know what that means without wikipedia ! :shock:

[PhilDernerJr]

No, what's really scary is how old you've gotten to remember Beta, Mario. ;)


OOOOOOOH!

Ok, ok. I know it, too.

Hey, I remember Beta, heck half of our home movies were on Beta!

The Best Buy by Firestone was selling their old display models of the first-gen Blu-Ray players for $250 last time I was out there...you might want to call and see if they still have any. I would have bought one if I had a ride home :)
