RE: Latest USA movie numbers show HD DVD losing share

Posted by Ole Lund Christensen on December 1, 2007 at 14:28:32:
Have no worries mate :-)

I will buy a HD DVD player for my collection and some HD DVD discs, that are important for me, when they have a closeout sale. And use it togehter with the Blu Ray discs on my Panasonic projector.

Just like I have bought:
an Otari 10" open reel 1/2 track tapemcahine for my mastertape copies,
a Tandberg 1/4 track machine for my older tapes.
a MSB/Pioneer Laserdisc player for my laserdisc collection,
a Philips SACD 1000 player for my SACD collection,
a JVC DVD Audio player for my DVD Audio collection,
a Pioneer DVD player for my DVD movie collection,
a JVC Super VHS HiFi for my VHS tapes
a Sony Betamax HiFi for my Beta video tape collection,
a Harman Kardon Dolby B/C casette deck for my few casettetapes
a dbx noise reduction for dbx tapes.
many CD players for my CD collection,
a Michell Hydralic Reference LP player for my LP collection.
I also bought an iPod using it with lossless for holidays,
and I have harddisks with my entire CD collection, which I play from my PC.

As you can see, I have most formats and many brands, but not the SONY minidisk :-)

Live or dead formats does not matter to me, as long as I have the software I like. I am not much of a SONY fanboy, my only SONY product today is a 36" tube TV.

To me the software is central, and USD 200 for a player does not matter much. Most of my machines I bought early, when they cost USD 2000 or more. Often the early machines are build to be long lasting.

I just present links, which nobody else seem to present.
The links are out there, and I suggest you present some other links.
