Blu-ray and HD DVD hardware you own - Club CDFreaks

**zevia** · 28-10-2007

I have Panasonic SW-5582 and LG GBW-H10N Blu-ray/HD-DVD burner.

My son owns a PS3.

**alan1476** · 28-10-2007

None yet. Like most I am waiting for the prices to drop. My son has the X-Box 360 and I will most probably buy the ad-don for HD-DVD. As for Blu-Ray I really want to wait until the price point drops to about 150USD, and as for RW drives the same applys, price and not wanting to invest in a format that will not survive.

This is a great poll, I will be watching closely what format is selling best amongst our members.

**Dee-27** · 28-10-2007

Sky HD satellite receiver and recorder.
No plans to buy Blu-ray or HD recorder until the price of the blank media drops by at least 100%

TOSHIBAer · 29-10-2007

Since the Toshiba SD-H802A (same hardware as the XBOX HD DVD drive) is missing, I selected "Other"

Cheers,
TOSHIBAer

So you want the blank media for free, with perhaps some extra cash thrown in?

*qwakrz* · 29-10-2007

Currently none, I doubt I will be getting either until dual format writers are available (not just the dual format reader / BD writer) for less than £100 (about $100 the way current pricing is in the UK for Hi-Def stuff)

Is it possible to edit in a "none" for those of us with no intention of going hi-def yet.

**zevia** · 29-10-2007

Unfortunately I can't add more to the poll since it only allows me to add 20 options. Also if I add it now I think it will mess the calculation, but let me check with other staff.

I wouldn't go there.

Remember this?
Bought a Samsung BD-P1400 Blu-Ray player and love it so far. No plans on buying a burner or media as Dee-27 mentioned it's way to expensive right now.

Papa_Joe · 30-10-2007

I have the Xbox 360 addon & I also have the pioneer BDC 202 ordered just waiting for it to be delivered which seems to be taking forever

**zevia** · 31-10-2007

Added "None" to the Poll option.

Somebody owns an LG GGW-H20N already? just released yesterday. Nice!

donsandro · 14-11-2007

i've preordered the LG GGW-H20L for 400€ but there is no release date.
the one says on 16.11 the other one says 27.11 and the third one im january 2008.

Some Random Guy · 14-11-2007

Toshiba HD-A30 standalone HD-DVD player.

*Dartman* · 14-11-2007

Toshiba HD-A2 because they were blowing them out last week dirt cheap, otherwise I'd still be waiting for a cheap combo player.

johnnyjt · 17-11-2007

Got 2 Toshiba A2 HD-DVD players from Walmart!

JohnnyJT

*Two Degrees* · 17-11-2007

Toshiba HD-A2 purchased at Sears for the not-so-secret clearance price EVERYONE is selling them for.

Yo z-

Funny y'all asked - just ordered a used copy of "the Fountain" from Amazon - heard it was awesome - then there are the two that come with the A3 and the five on rebate - after that it is up to Netflix to start shipping HD-DVD's-eh!!

Sigifrith · 20-11-2007

Toshiba HD-XA2 coming from Amazon tomorrow!

*Hypnosis4U2NV* · 21-11-2007

Toshiba A3.. Most likely, I will not buy another format till prices come down to around $50..

Sigifrith, the XA2 is real nice.. Im sure you spent a pretty penny on that..

*bigmike7* · 22-11-2007

Yo-

My Toshiba HD-A3-K-KU came in today - upgraded the firmware with 1.3 and the outcome is outstanding-eh!!

The upconversion of regular DVD backups simply spanks my old Panasonic 75 upconverter-eh!!

And - yes - I'm one happy camper-eh!!

botika · 23-11-2007

None yet. I am waiting prices to drop. Now, here in Brazil these devices cost too much because we have too many duties and taxes. For example, the LG GGW-10HN cost about U$2.200

donsandro · 26-11-2007

I have a PS3 (HK) , Toshiba HD-E1 , XBOX 360 and HDDVD Player.
I hope that tomorrow my LG-GGW H20L arrives
