Toshiba Launches XDE DVD

[Rich-n-Texas]

"FROM HELLS OWN HEART I STAB AT THEE"

Pix has been reading Shakespeare. Impressive.

One last dig at the new format, BLU RAY.
Basically scan velo modulation and "smart" contrast, better watch it, it might turn into a terminator, start dialing up Skynet or something.

I'm getting caught back up with The Sarah Conner Chronicles myself.

I HATE SCAN VELOCITY SO MUCH that I took the cover off of my first HDTV (a Panny 47") and disabled it at the crt(all three of em)
basically the only way to turn it off, noise by any other name.

This is why they only let him have a Visio.

Blu is evoutionary, true, but a big enough leap to render all disscussion
of "getting by" with great upconversion moot, especially since blu players do great upconversion as a bonus anyway.

So in actuallity, VOD is dead right?

I was somewhat worried about mr p and his critiqe of upconversion
with his samsung Blu player, I neednt have worried.

Capital P.

The upconversion on my new player isnt true HD, but its close.

Have you paid your friend yet for it? It came from DOLLAR RIOT right?

So why buy a 300 (or even 150) dollar player that doesnt do blu?
MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.
I watched serenity on my blu player last night, it was simply amazing,
there is a site that compares upconversion on my player with a 1200 dollar scaler, I WAS DUBIOUS but no more.

Ya know, it seems to me that Sir Talky's message has finally gotten across to you, IMO.

So the future of this project?
Well, theres no market. PQ addicts will get a BLU, cheapskates will
say that their player from BILLS DOLLAR STORE (free with a case of thunderbird) is good enough.

This is where you come in right? Must be since you know about the Thunderbird deal.

DVD is 480i BTW, not 480p, a DVD couldnt hold a true 480p signal,
further emphasizing its obsolescense.
I predict that as prices fall, people will pass right by this one to get the latest blu player, which will be around 200 bucks in no time.
This will be an historical footnote, not much more, kinda like putting a horse on crack to keep up with autimobiles

I'd swear you're sounding more and more like a BR advocate everyday. VOD is DEAD!!! Long live Blu-ray!

Don't be too quick to hand out accolades. I'm pretty sure he cribbed it off an old Star Trek movie.

Watching the wrath of khan actually.
Figures you'd know nothing about the true classics

The new terminator movie with Bale as john conner will render it obsolete

This is why they only let him have a Visio.

I choose a Visio, just because the apparati at TI wont let you have anything but a DLP the size of the box the USS LINCOLN
came in doesnt mean the rest of us are so limited

So in actuallity, VOD is dead right?

What has this to do with anything
Non sequiter city

CIRCUIT CITY, not all of us are crazy (and cheapskate) enough to order major electronics from , of all places, new jersey
MAIL ORDER is ok, but not from a third world UN eco disaster zone.

Ya know, it seems to me that Sir Talky's message has finally gotten across to you, IMO.

The only message that has gotten across to me from talky is that hes a jr high student that can google really well to cover up his ignorance
of just about anything.
Tells a good story tho. Crackheaded but interesting

One of my crack hos told me about it. Probably too rich for you

I have never changed my positon on Blu or VOD.
i came out and predicted it the winner months ago.
I thought it the best format for movie collecting but knew that it had a limited window for getting established before VOD really got up steam.
And with DRM popping up everywhere a good format for collecting movies is important, since you wont be able to bootleg anymore.
Why is it one or the other? Vod will be for everyday casual use, for
kickass experience and collecting BLU will be it, no reason the two cant co-exist, unlike your brain and logic, which cant be in the same room at the same time, fundamental breakdown in the universe if that happens
