QUOTE(hhtoh88 @ Feb 19 2008, 03:15 PM) If you can get it at dirt cheap price, I would encourage you to go for it. Even if you don't have HD DVD to play, its an excellent upconvert DVD player for your SD DVD. I have a Toshiba HD-DVD player, and can vouch for that. Although I'm sad that I might not get new movies on HD, I'm still going to enjoy the excellent upconvert feature of the Toshiba player. Well, have changed my mind, since I'm getting a Yamaha RX-V1800 AV amp, it has the same Anchor Bay upscaling chip as the Toshiba HD-A35 so I guess I don't need to buy a hd-dvd player, can use the amp for this purpose. Don't get me wrong, I'm still keeping my hd-dvd collection. Don't forget that Universal and Paramount didn't say they will join the blu-ray camp yet and they could still release movies for this format since there's a substantial market base. Remember Dreamcast, when Sega decided to call it quits, there were still games for it till last year. Anything is possible. QUOTE(XenoFr3ak @ Feb 19 2008, 05:44 PM) Farewell HD-DVD .. and also farewell to my HD-DVD add on. Im selling it away. Anyone interested ?? Spill the beans my friend, let us know what you wanna sell.

QUOTE(Thrust @ Feb 7 2008, 06:10 PM) Maybe they are trying to clear off the HD DVD players and disc inventory though. No offence, just a guess. My prediction was darn right!  I knew they would be clearing off their inventory before announcing to end HD DVD.

Thanks bro, got your PM. That was fast. So, if in the future, you're going to place any order with Amazon, do let me know ya. I'm still interested to sapu those hd-dvd titles at half price. It's a good deal. It may be officially dead but it doesn't matter to me especially if they're all dirt cheap.
