I'm a very satisfied Verizon customer and would switch in a minute to an iPhone if one became available through Verizon. No way would I consider going over to AT&T. Until such time as an iPhone comes out on Verizon I'm content to use my pretty b…

I have a 15" TiBook 867mz purchased in November 2002 that I'm still using as a second computer for things like email, simple PhotoShop, FileMaker, Word and Excel. It's been rock solid with nary a problem. Lately, now that MacBook Pros are bring disc…

marz, one additional question. Will 2009 finally be the year that the chief evangelist for BD in all of these threads actually buys a BD player/PS3?

murch, you've been crying doom and gloom about BD ever since the original HD/BD thread started. Will BD survive? Will it become a niche product? Who knows, only time will tell. In the meantime, I'll continue to enjoy BD movies on my "clunky, overpri…

bite, you're right about lack of bargain priced BR titles. Hopefully there will be sales during 4Q leading up to Christmas. Someone reported that Columbia House has some BOGO sales occasionally and that you can sign up for BR as your introductory pu…

This morning on AVSforum it was reported that Amazon was selling Sony and Panasonic BD players in the $250 ? $260 range. Three Warner Bros. BDs were included in the price. Many of Amazon's sales seem to last for a very short duration so I don't know…
