I went to Best Buy yesterday and was REALLY tempted to buy one myself because of your comment. (#):) @Teddy - It's def true that some people don't look as pretty when you can see all the details. *nod* @Bobby - Nice. You know, even though I never got into burning movies and games, for some reason I always have to put a dvd burner onto my computers. Go fig. @Shashank - Yeah, the price point is still a fraction above what I'd want to pay and honestly, I should probably focus on a new TV first. *nod* @Apexad – Ha ha.

Since he or she may or may not have thousands on titles on hand (only for close friends and family), I will never spend more than the cost of a blank DVD for any movie I want...hahaha:) I have a friend who decrypts BlueRay discs so they will play on a normal HD-DVD or regular DVD player.

I told them that HD DVD is able to display their wrinkles and pimples in greater details, and since then they never talked about it :) heh.

I guess what it may come down to for a lot of people is just what quality of movie you want to see and hear. A lot of people are fine with VHS quality, others are fine with DVD. And then there are the others so who aren't looking back from HD! @Kali – Good point. I guess what it may come down to for a lot of people is just what quality of movie you want to see and hear.

But I wasn't planning on buying the HD Drive anyway. I was just broke. They sold VHS for years and years after DVD players came out. Until a year or two ago, you could find them in bargin bins ridiculously cheap. Honestly, a cheap HD DVD player may be a good investment, especially if you like the current catalogue of movies out.

I REALLY still consider the high def format a bit above most consumers. My parents for instance are what I consider to be "normal" consumers. They took it upon themselves to get a nice HD LCD, and with it came an HD DVD player. My mom (who actually is very accepting of high def and random tech) didn't understand why she should be excited about HD DVD because (in her words) DVDs look great on her LCD. I could go on about this but for the sake of boring everyone... @Pete - snake?... SnakE?! SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!?! @teddy – Yeah, and I guess that’s something that really isn’t talked about.
