DrPyro Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Moon- I had duplicate Superbit & Nonsuperbit but I gave all my nonsuperbit my brother when he FINALLY got his first DVD player. Very sad when the older brother didn't have a DVD player and he is an electrical engineer, almost have to disown him, hehehe. -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wal-Mart gets editions of these releases that no one else gets - and the reason they're cheaper is because they don't add the extras (DTS) The special edition they give you on that disc is not a true HD - it's a compressed version. All this talk about HD DVD - something you guys aren't getting - the BlueLaser format DVD is not going to be playable on your existing DVD player. For added fun, if the DVD consortium (minus Toshiba and NEC, who are opposed to this) gets their way, none of your old DVD's will work in the new HD DVD players, either. Get ready for some serious sticker shock, gentlemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Terminator 2 came out last week I think. They were looking at it behind the counter at tweeters when I stopped by and said it had just come out that day (unless they got a special preview).

m00n Posted June 8, 2003 Author Share Posted June 8, 2003 Griff, i hope this DVD consortium does not get their way. That would just plain be stupid of them. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 If the new blue-laser DVD players are not backwards compatible, expect a whole lot of very pissed off people. The new players should also have an extra red laser or something to read older DVDs. If DVD players can also read various DVD and CD types,...

It used to be Give the consumers a product they want and you will make money. Now its Why give the consumers a product they want if you can make more money by selling them 20 products they dont want along with a false promise with each one that says This is just what you want! Yup. That ought to hold them until next years model is announced 3 months after we start selling this years model. Its the same old story. They can build a car that will last a lifetime but wheres the money in it? The technology is there for both cars and electronics but we wont be able to purchase it until it is the most opportune time for the manufacturer not the consumer. Perhaps Im wrong and I come from the Preston Tucker School of dreaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted June 10, 2003 Author Share Posted June 10, 2003 I could be a way to force the industry into this new format. That or maybe it would not be feasable to produce a player with both... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
