I am officially owning 3 BD players now with PROFILE 1.1 now. 2 PS3 and 1 Laptop.
Nfinity @ Jan 31st 2008 4:17PM
How wonderful for you, how much did you pay for them a $1000?
Hey you know, you could've had the same picture and quality with 3 players for $300 and you wouldn't even need these updates cause you know HD DVD part is all finished and fully working.
Felix @ Jan 31st 2008 4:36PM
LOL LOL LOL HD DVD???? Same quality???? you are joking. I am always looking for PCM audio, and am a big supporter of Disney and Columbia pictures. How could I get that in HD DVD?
Besides, all of BD players are 1080p, while HD DVD got some 1080i.
FYI, I am a former neutral buyer, but definitely I only support BD...
And I got my PS3 in Asia, which is cheaper than in Europe.
Now, where is the proof if TL51 is finished and will be compatible? I know part 1 of spec is finished, but I am still waiting for the news for part 2..... And I've seen that a fan of HD DVD emailed toshiba if it will work. the answer is yes, but my experience with customer service is that they are not always telling the truth or sometimes wrong...
I'd rather spend more than $1000 than spending $300 for a dying format with support of only 2 major studios

Nfinity, so which of these firesale $100 players is also a games console / multimedia center or a laptop computer?
What none of them? So what is your point exactly?
As for "fully working", perhaps you'll explain what that means exactly. For example, where is mandatory managed copy in these players? And assuming MMC ever appears in an HD DVD player are you seriously going to claim these older players will implement it?
