PS: The war has just begun.]]>Mar 13th 2007 9:34AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/12/hd-dvd-looks-circuit-citys-way-compels-independent-filmmakers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/12/hd-dvd-looks-circuit-citys-way-compels-independent-filmmakers/ what you said is also very true, the hd-a2 and hd-ax2 are very good upconversion players. the only problem w/ this particular fact is, the avg "next gen" dvd shopper isn't going to be taking this into consideration. its going to be mainly price, brand loyalty, and the available titles in each respective format. more advanced electronics users will probably know about this. But hypothetically, if the format wasn't doing too well, why would anyone want to shell out $500 for an upconversion player, which also happens to support a hardly sold/used next gen format. I think people might be willing to sacrifice unconversion quality (hypothetically if it were worse)and purchase a 2nd gen sony, pioneer, panasonic player that played a more popular next gen hd format.
the only thing i can say is, the global picture as far as hd-dvd vs blu ray will be really be taking shape come june, july, august...]]>Mar 13th 2007 5:45PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/12/hd-dvd-looks-circuit-citys-way-compels-independent-filmmakers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/12/hd-dvd-looks-circuit-citys-way-compels-independent-filmmakers/Mar 13th 2007 9:28AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/12/hd-dvd-looks-circuit-citys-way-compels-independent-filmmakers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/12/hd-dvd-looks-circuit-citys-way-compels-independent-filmmakers/

That would certainly negate or diffuse the exclusive content brd has going for it right now.


The war has not yet begun. You'll know someone is serious when they're delaying DVD releases in favor of their HD format and selling HD players for 200 bucks. That's when the war will be on.]]>Mar 13th 2007 2:26PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/12/hd-dvd-looks-circuit-citys-way-compels-independent-filmmakers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/12/hd-dvd-looks-circuit-citys-way-compels-independent-filmmakers/Mar 13th 2007 10:08AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/12/hd-dvd-looks-circuit-citys-way-compels-independent-filmmakers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/12/hd-dvd-looks-circuit-citys-way-compels-independent-filmmakers/Mar 13th 2007 11:59AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/12/hd-dvd-looks-circuit-citys-way-compels-independent-filmmakers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/12/hd-dvd-looks-circuit-citys-way-compels-independent-filmmakers/Mar 14th 2007 12:10PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/12/hd-dvd-looks-circuit-citys-way-compels-independent-filmmakers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/12/hd-dvd-looks-circuit-citys-way-compels-independent-filmmakers/Mar 14th 2007 5:07PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/12/hd-dvd-looks-circuit-citys-way-compels-independent-filmmakers/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/12/hd-dvd-looks-circuit-citys-way-compels-independent-filmmakers/
My opinion - it doesn't matter, online downloading will make the DVD obsolete so Microsoft and Sony better make their money quick.]]>Mar 15th 2007 12:44PM
