I'll second going with the 60g. I pick up a few PS2 games every now and then. Can't beat getting games for under $10 to keep the kid happy for awhile. He doesn't care about HD. Also, my wife enjoys the gameshow type games like wheel of fortune or family feud. We pull those out when we have guests over too.
And the simple fact that I already own about 60 or 70 PS1&PS2 games already doesn't hurt much either :ciappa:

I think the 40GB will still play the PS1 games. Just no PS2 games, yet, with no intentions of upgrades, yet. Sony. Can't live with them, can't grind them into dust.
Great point about the game shows though. Thanks. My wife may make me run out this weekend and buy one so she can play that Wheel-O-Fortune game. For once, I'll be the one saying, "Not yet. Just wait!"

Not sure about anyone else, but I am really happy to see EYES WIDE SHUT, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, and a CLOCKWORK ORANGE coming to the HD formats, which FULL METAL JACKET already was for those fellow Kubrick fans. I will be very interested to see how they look!!!!!!

They won't look the same as the film though.

Just a friendly poke. At least I didn't call anyone clueless.
Oops,.......

Oh, you're right. Terrance, Clueless, I just hit the wrong key I guess.

Our local news did a story on the analog TV being turned off in 2009 and said there are going to be some PSA's hitting the air to alert people to the change. Good timing right before Christmas, ay? It will be interesting to see if it spurs any upswing in sales of either HDTV's or HD disc players. Then again, how would we actually know if it had any effect. They did also mention the $40.00 voucher toward the con-verter.

Main effect will be people with older TV's who use OTA for their TV watching. If you have cable, your "box" will convert it. If you don't currently need a "box" you might have to get one from your provider.
Sat won't be affected, as it is already digital.
But yes, you can bet your ass that every sales weasel at BB, or CC will be drumming this one right over to the ol' plasma/LCD display.

Lets get a couple things out in the open here Mr. T. What exactly is wrong with being a fan? Companies love them, heck the industry needs them to promote their format. So unless you have something else to add, your just making more of a fool of yourself. Tired of getting your ass handed to you on the other thread, and thought you would try over here?
Second, is it worse to have an opinion about something, and not be receiving compensation for it? I mean, you seem to have it out for "industry insiders":
These are all quotes directly pulled from your responses on other threads relating to HD-DVD/BluRay. Then this little tidbit caught my eye:
And that doesn't call into question your intent on forwarding the BR cause? If I'm a "fanboy" as you put it, I guess you are an industry whore. Lets call a spade a spade.
Since this is not the other thread, I am not going point to point with this. You really should grow up and learn to keep the trash in one thread out of the others kid. Really.
I am going to say this though, I own 120 HD DVD disc, how many do you own? If it is not 120 or more, then I am a bigger HD DVD supporter than you are. You have a $179 HD DVD drive, I have a $650 HD DVD player. You TALK about HD DVD, I buy it. So I guess I am a HD on disc whore, a title I gladly except.
I just want to thank my mom and my dad......oops wrong venue.

I own 7. As you say "I would rather own Quality than Quantity". I own the ones I want. Not just a big wall of movies to make up for my otherwise physical inadequacies. Kinda like guys who buy expensive cars I guess...
And disc whore, and paid insider Industry Whore are two different animals. You profess to disregard info from other "Industry Insiders" but low and behold YOUR ONE OF THEM.
So now I guess we can call you the HD-DVD SuperFanboy who lives ostenatiously, and is a paid Industry Shill. Hey, if the shoe fits, wear it.:)
