Could be someone will integrate the HD and BR into a single drive - now that I would put some serious consideration into buying but as for right now it cost is out of my funding, so I will wait til they get a unit that one can afford. It will be some time but by that time they should get the bugs or kincks out of the units and be more affordable to the mass consumers. Also the media for BR that I see is so expensive 1 RW BR is 25 G is $30 US. I was like wow... |
I am in agreement with you. The only way at present to watch HDDVD on the computer is with the XBox 360. I might have tried it if I owned a 360 but at this point its not worth it. I would only be interested in Ripping and burning with PC. The price of blank media makes it not worth while. Be better to wait a month or two after the release of new DVD titles and purchase a used or discounted HDDVD and watch it on the television (still have not purchased a standalone player).I have been tempted to purchase the 360 for this purpose and it would also serve two roles, one for television and one for the computer. But my computer would require a boost and then it still might not be sufficient. In the meantime I am comfortable with watching High Definition from DishNetwork (admittedly not as good) but my television is only capable of 1080i any way. If I jumped at every new technology as soon as it came out, I would be waisting hard earned money. But I still like to frequent these forums and keep well informed for the moment to "pounce".
