Yes I know the quality in picture and everything else is comparable but their tech behind it is cheap.

Haha I'm sorry, but you honestly think that the Average Joe buying a HD DVD or Blu Ray player at Wal-Mart actually cares about the "tech" behind it?

I've still got a PS2... in the closet for several years! Just because they're still squeezing games out for it doesn't make it hip. You can go buy new Gameboy Advance carts too but the DS is where it's at for Nintendo. Lest you think me a Sony basher I owned the original PS too! But c'mon, we're all bleeding edge types around here.

Can someone PLEASE Explaint his statement? it is the second time i have heard it on this forum and it has never been backed up.
read my post on the last page WITH citations.
HD-DVD cost $0.15 (that is fifteen cents for those who can't read decimal) less than a bluray disk.
WHERE do you get a $10 discount? and WHY do you think Toshiba sets the prices?
WHO owns the movie and WHO puts it on the shelf?
I feel bad for people trying to get real advice on this thread.
go to AVSforums for accurate information. Please.
I posted this thread to the blu boys and it is turning out pretty well.

Oh and of course I work for Toshiba and microsoft.
so feel free to flame me, but if you do, make sure you back up your statements.
