In Reply to: Blu-ray has won. Enjoy finishing out Netflix's HD posted by Duilawyer on January 5, 2008 at 17:55:18:
Actually I was hoping that BD would win, because I do prefer some of the fine points of that technology. It hasn't won yet, though, and there are two dark horses in the race: Microsoft and a cheap universal player that may make format choice up to the studio and individual. But there are things only on HD DVD (e.g, a fine performance of the Magic Flute) with more to come and plenty out there, so my tiny investment will get its full return. I think it is simply premature to buy a BD player. The standard is not yet set, and they are relatively expensive. I have zero interst in a game machine. I'll get at least six months to a year out of my HD DVD player before I buy a BD player, if they triumph. It cost me not much more than taking my family out to dinner in a good restaurant, so I consider it a bargain. However, in all honesty I might not have bought it if I had seen the Warner announcement before I did, as I really didn't urgently see any need to get any HD player; upsampled DVD is extremely good. It's just that the Toshiba was too inexpensive to pass up, and I'm not the least bit sorry.
