Not listening to them will prove to be very costly.]]>Apr 27th 2006 10:54AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/27/hd-dvd-reviews-they-like-not-like-love-it/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/27/hd-dvd-reviews-they-like-not-like-love-it/
Sorry, there's early adopting and then there's early idiocy. I'll wait for a better library, better prices and stable marketplace before buying.]]>Apr 27th 2006 11:01AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/27/hd-dvd-reviews-they-like-not-like-love-it/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/27/hd-dvd-reviews-they-like-not-like-love-it/

The title is still on Reuters site, but the article is gone, I'll check to see if it comes back, or if it's cached at Yahoo or something]]>Apr 27th 2006 12:50PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/27/hd-dvd-reviews-they-like-not-like-love-it/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/27/hd-dvd-reviews-they-like-not-like-love-it/
This comment shows a lack of understanding as to why early adopters adopt early. We don't care who wins, we want what we want now. Neither HD-DVD nor Blu-Ray are going away for a long time to come so why hold out until a winner is declared? The movies adopters buy today for their shiny new HD-DVD payers will still work perfectly fine if HD-DVD dries up and blows away in three years.

HD-DVD, at $500-$700, is an insanely inexpensive risk. When I was on a waiting list for Sony's first SACD player, the price was $4500 (and that was when the players were stereo only - not multichannel). HD-DVD looks fantastic and it looks fantastic right now.

At ~$500-700, I'd rather risk it over a $1000+ BD Player.]]>Apr 27th 2006 4:06PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/27/hd-dvd-reviews-they-like-not-like-love-it/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/27/hd-dvd-reviews-they-like-not-like-love-it/
By the time Blu-Ray comes out, these players will be $300, against the Blu-Ray's $1000 - plus by then it will be tried and tested, no point buying a Blu-Ray player if you've already got a HD DVD and movies, theyre both pretty similar.

One thing that has surprised me is the amount of people who stoicly said they were waiting for the Blu-Ray machine, and then fell at the first hurdle and rushed out to get a HD DVD player - You can spend half your life waiting for the next best thing to come out or you can watch Hi Def now.]]>Apr 28th 2006 8:35AM
