Best used DVD Player...Not interested in Blue R...
Panasonic XP30, XP50, Denon 1600, 220, or 2900 would be the best used bets. 
Denon's new Blu-Ray player
The Denon Player has been put on hold until Mid 2008. 
Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?,
Well thanks for your post. I think we agree on most things. Blu Ray isnt going away anytime soon obviously. And sure there will be punches flying in both directions in one form or another to be sure.The thing about 150 million though- thats more m...

Just to update, it looks like there are going to be 9 or 10 HD-DVD player manufacturers on board in time for Christmas, with sub 200 dollar HD-DVD players. The pictures of these various units are now everywhere. Names like Onkyo, Intgera, and Magn...

Actually, believe it or not, 720P displays are being slowly replaced across all technologies by 1920 x 1080 displays with HDMI 1.3 connectivity as the standard. So in that sense, a Hi Def PLayer makes sense, particularly if it can upscale and play... 
Breaking: Paramount/Dreamworks go HDDVD exclusive
This is all sort of like , opening chess moves of sorts. I still see HD-DVD making good moves while the Blu Ray side just spends a lot of money. I also still prefer HD-DVD hardware strongly. It just makes more sense. AS far as more shockers, when ...

Well, looking at overall titles before this change, 90% would be released on Blu Ray and 60% on HD-DVD from American Studios. European studios were in HD-DVDs favor technically.With this change I actually think its slightly in HD-DVDs favor as far...

I think that this is a retread of an old article. Is this new news...I don't think so.

There are pictures of one of the Chinese HD-DVD players now available. If you think about it, of course less expensive HD-DVD players are just around the corner. Obviously there is no blu ray answer on the hardware side. There never has been. That...

Oh yea- alomost forgot, the writer of the Associated Press Article is Gary Gentile and it came out August 10th 2007. He writes out of Los Angeles but I saw the article on a Nashville News Affiliate website. The article is not totally focused on Ch...

The Associated Press confirmed the Chinese HD-DVD player release at 199.99 for this fall; that's where all of the codec info came from as well.Without an ethernet connection currrent Blu Ray players are going to be obsolete. The Toshiba players al...

The Associated Press reported the Chinese HD-DVD confirmation on fall release at $199 in several newspapers last week. Its not very far away.The Majority of Blu Ray players unfortunately dont come with the technical specifications needed to utiliz...

My only comment is that all of those companies are competing with each other. I do think that cheap chinese HD-DVD players coming out this fall ( which the AP confirmed last week) seals the deal, because you get a greater bandwidth of buyers. Righ...

Well a few comments. Asia and Europe are very important. If you all have followed the news lately, Blu ray is under investigation by a European Commission regarding their marketing techniques( ie bribery; pressure tactics) as European movie studio...

Its hard to know at this point. Target, Blockbuster, and Best Buy are lining up with Blu Ray. Walmart and Sams are with HD-DVD, and Netflix and Circuit City are neutral.Blu Ray hardware is problematic in general and hasnt incorporated ethernet con...
