Hmm maybe the early ones. Or maybe they came out with a firmware update. Because I know when they were coming out I was like WTF is wrong with them for not doing upscaling. Just googled it....it was a firmware update?

No you misunderstood me Ravenas

Microsoft may be disliked by many a person here but you still cannot doubt their influence in the world of technology. That had a large influence in my decision but it wasnt the only reason I support HD DVD.

I researched the two formats and realized that hey HD DVD is cheaper and I can get HD alot cheaper with the same quality as the other format.

Plus I didnt have to wait for the BD Java pip thing to finally come around it was already a set feature that wwas supported from the start for HD DVD.

And lets not forget that while Wile E has a point isn that the combo HD DVD's may be pointless to him but it helped me to realize that hey I can just say that I can watch it on more than one TV in my house. I can watch it on the one HDTV in our house (yes we finally got an HDTV) and if I want to watch it in our guest room on our Standard Def tv I vcan as well I wont have to buy the standard def DVD seperatley. Because remember most people have only one maybe two HDTVs in their house or none at all.

Yeah, most houses only have one or two HDTV's so that Dual-Format of HD-DVD on one side and DVD on the other might help. But again, those are much more expensive. Luckily, I have an HDTV on all rooms so I'm good!

No I didn't misunderstand you at all. It's what you said and I quoted it. What you should of said is, "I like HD-DVD players because they are cheaper and get me pretty much the same thing as a Bluray player." That's what I think you are trying to say. But I still think you support HD-DVD players just because MS does.

Even if I did support HD DVD just because Microsoft does then so what

And by the way thjeres no - in HD DVD

[psefer]

so you say that i support hd-dvd players?
maybe you haven't been paying attention!
i told everyone that i owe both hd-dvd and blu-ray player and i have tried them both!
so this doesn't mean that i support microsoft!
but after testing them both i found out that the hd-dvd player has much better upscaling quality than the bluray player.also a friend of mine has both toshiba hd-dvd hd-e1 and sharp bluray player and he has the same opinion!
i think that the most important thing is not the cost of the player (since you pay it once!) but quality of reproduction and the cost of bying movies (which is much more important since you pay until the end of the technology)! also consider that most of us already have a collection of dvd's and until the high definition format becomes manistream , why shouldn't we been allowed to enjoy them as well?
