Get a playstation3, unless Blu-ray drives have dropped a lot in price it should still be the cheapest option. HDDVD was dead before it was even released.

Blu-ray, HD-DVD is useless now.

Toshiba was superior with HD-DVD but still the inferior format won. Kinda like with Betamax vs. VHS - when Sony lost.

but i didnt even know what it was, nor why it came into my head :o)

tell me more about betamax. . i know video2000 which lost against vhs, ye. but betamax?

and well, there are shitloads of hd-dvds out there, so a all-in-one wouldbnt be bad, or?

Yeah, all in one wouldn't be bad, and the movies are indeed dirt cheap. Sometimes they have better picturequality than the Blu-ray releases.

This shows me that you are much cooler than evan, as soon as he made a misstake you made sure to correct him and show both him, and everyone here you are much better than him.

I might add you to my buddylist!

Why I feel very offended by this! :(

HD-DVD is dead, the companies which were developing it stopped

It's funny that you repeat the 5 year thing. You have only been a member on Crossfire for 2½ years. But I can flame killerboy for you! I will see it as my mission here in life!
