Marz, the sad thing about the release titles that you listed is there's only one decent title, The Bourne Identity, and one marginal, The Scent of Women, the rest border on crap. Studios must think HD format adopters will buy anything and everything…

One note on RAM, in the MacPro they must be added in equal pairs. If you want 3GB, you'll need to add two 512MB sticks to the existing 2GB. Check Crucial for Apple certified RAM. Crucial is the marketing arm for Micron, a major manufacturer of RAM. …

Bite and murch, I don't think a $199 HD-DVD player really means that much. If the HD formats were a consumer product, then yes, but they're not--J6P's are ignoring then as if they were poison. Right now the people who are into HD formats are either …

With all the acrimonious posting lately I thought I'd add something on a lighter note. This is from the 7/25/07 Seattle Times. "NEARLY ALL OF STORE'S BLU-RAY DISCS STOLEN Seattle police are investigating a burglary at the Northgate Silver Platte…

I'm not trying to rain on anybody's parade and am not trying to stoke the B-d/HD-DVD controversy, but I do have a question. How important are extras to you? Do you even bother to watch them? Occasionally I'll check and see if there's some bio inf…

I fnally had a chance to see the iPhone in person this week. I'm not interested in buying one as I'm happy with my Verizon service and basic phone, but would like to replace my 20GB 2G iPod with a widescreen touchscreen model. One thing I noticed…

The format war, besides turning consumers into non buyers, also hurts another way-- stores reluctant to commit much shelf space to the competing formats. Our local Fred Meyers has a nice selection of DVDs. BD and HD-DVDs are hidden in a corner an…

Bite, thanks for the link for reviews. I've been using the tier thread on avsforum which is kind-of iffy. I've watch Searchers on B-D and agree about the quality.

marz the article you posted, #2342, was interesting but I'm not sure it means anything. I can't see Toshiba and Universal giving up anytime soon, they'll soldier on until at least next year hoping that the blu-ray only studios will blink first.

murch, I'm not sure your player price argument is valid. It would be if we're talking about a consumer product but we're dealing with a technology that hasn't even reached the mass to be considered a niche one yet. Consumers have always shown a stro…

Don't be so harsh on murch. He's mentioned more than once before that he likes to argue, so maybe he's just playing devil's advocate to raise some people's hackles.

Can we stop our bickering over formats for a minute and offer me some information? I'm going to start working on SWMBO to upgrade our receiver, which has no HDMI. The analog out from the Panasonic 10a works great so I could live with the old rece…

I hope I'm wrong on this but we may never see a touch widescreen iPod or if we do, not until next year and with a crippled feature set. Apple has invested a lot of money and prestige on the iPhone and once the initial hype has worn off is going t…
