Microsoft and Broadcom Deliver Combined Hardware and Software Platform for More Cost-Efficient HD DVD Players>>> http://www.broadcom.com/press/release.php?id=950071 ,as expected, with an abundance cash reserve.... Microsoft will do anything for HD-DVD. I wonder what will be the reaction from Sony????
Points of fact, if the HD-DVD stand alone player getting very affordable for mainstream consumers, it will be an incomparable advantage than Blueray. Just my 2 cent.... This post has been edited by silencer: Feb 21 2007, 10:02 PM |

I bought 3 BD titles among others, still don't have a player for it though samalah kita..i have about 6 BD titles now....without the player...will be getting the PS3 next week, but still needs to confirm with DJinn or Bernard wether they do have the Singapore edition....   |

They ship to malaysia too hmmm..no dvd upconversion and divx support..i guess my existing setup with external hd-dvd for xbox 360 and oppo 981HD will blow away that particular model..will definitly buy the hd-dvd separate player if it is compatibl with divx features..... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller...rch&Q=&ci=12836 |

QUOTE(g5sim @ Mar 24 2007, 11:23 PM) huh? any of the HD DVD player in the market is touted to be the best upconvert DVD player The Tosh HD-AX2 is considered the best upconvert DVD for 1080p so far..I guess the same model that string bought from US....but considered out of my budget limit already...plus without the divx features too..but money money is the main obstacle here DIVX is not included yet |

Darn....will be enjoying both formats in 1-2 weeks..but just happened to bump into these two news:-
1)Warner's Total HD Combo Discs Ready This Summer>>> http://gear.ign.com/articles/773/773347p1.html " The Blu-ray storage allocations possible on the format fall short of the 50GB standard set by current stand-alone Blu-ray discs, which may lead to difficulties if and when publishers port prepared Blu-ray content to the format. On the other hand, no studios other than Warner Brothers have announced support for the format, so it might not be a problem." 2) I've had enough! Boycotting all future Warner Bros. releases!>>> http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=823585 " Uh, The Matrix has been delayed on HD DVD for a LONG time BECAUSE of Blu-ray's problems with interactivity issues. Warner probably just got tired of waiting since they promised us the Matrix to be out about 8-10 months ago. So whining about that is pretty ridiculous. Happy Feet probably should've got a TrueHD track for Blu-ray, but whining about interactive releases being delayed? Blame the Blu-ray Disc Association, not Warner. And seriously, consumer-friendly stance? You've got enough exclusive studios on Blu-ray. How about Disney takes a consumer friendly stance? By far the main reason Blu-ray is selling more is because they have more content, thanks to exclusive studios. Complaining about a few Warner releases is like getting a pony for Christmas, and whining that someone else you know got a remote control car." Darn...the conclusion is having two formats is definitely the answer then... hope sony is not screwed up again...now, going to PM DJinn for my PS3... |
