Hd Dvd

[Biggles]

It is 1080 P. I'm putting up with Sky HD Movies until the players either get cheaper, below the 200 quid mark, or they can play both types of disk.
I think the films themselves are well priced. HD DVD is about 15 quid a pop and Blu Ray nearer 20 quid. I though they would have both been 30 quid a go at this stage.

NR.

Would best go with the PS3 for now then as DVD's have to be up sampled to 1080p, whereas thats native for blueray. Although its a games console, its still the cheapest blue ray by miles, but give it a few months

I'll wait. But its hard being patient when HD is abviously so awe droppingly good to watch.

Best unless youve money to burn IMHO .. Cos DVD's arn't encoded as 1080p so they have to be upscaled.. and unless youve got a shed load of cash to throw at an upscaler whats the point ? Even then.. you cant invent material that doesnt exist from your original DVD ! And at best your 1080 screen will be giving you a best manageable picture

Whats your screen ? cos I'm on the horns of a dilemma atm regarding choice for mine?

The 360 Elite is around the corner as well which has HD DVD. I love a price war.
