Hell I'd buy a HD-DVD drive from $170 versus paying $500. 1080p kinda sucks cos I don't have TV for it.

My next one though.....fuck I haven't payed for my current one yet.

Well then my next question is- do you need a 360 to run that HD player?

I'm guessing so but if not, that' dbe one hell of a deal.

Sadly there's no 360 in my future. At least not for a while yet... :(

Yes. That's why it's only $200 (or so).

That's fine with me.

I still like blu-ray better.

I hear that the 360 external dvd player was a mere upconvert dvd player..

HD-DVD Drive to retail for $199.99 in the US mid-november!

Tbh I want to record in HD and not just watch prepackage stuff.

There are so many good TV shows on right now that my tivo can't hold them all long enough for me to watch them.

My only alternative is too download a good copy then bump up the resolution with an upconvert DVD player.:angry:

I'M FUCKING PISSED OFF!

I'd be a happy camper if there was a 500GB DVR box. HD takes up too much space!:angry:

Can't you make your PC into a PVR? I'm sure I've seen some articles about it but I don't have TV so it's of little interest to me.

Not as simple. PVRs suck and I don't know of an upconvert program that'll give me HD quality from the PC.

Those HD downloads maybe HD but not on an HDTV. I don't wanna watch on my computer monitor.:dry:

Once you start watching every show like you're in a movie theater with stunning video and audio quality and surround sound it's hard to go back.

I've just nixed a slew of shows for the season cos there are just too many good ones (and I've missed episodes).

I'll keep Heroes, The Wire, House, Lost, BSG, Alias, Supernatural, Shark and a couple more.

Gone are Prison Break, Kidnapped, Vanished, Jericho, and a host of others.

I might start not recording shows that are on On Demand but that shit ain't in HD either.:angry:

I WANT TO RECORD IN HD TO ARCHIVE!:angry:

Firefly is even being shown on Universal HD now.
