BluRay Vs HDDVD

[ragboy]

You will all be NEWEGG converts by the time I am done with you. They are the best. I build custom servers for myself and special clients, I probably spend over 100k there a year, I love em.

I've got screaming kids, so a little fan noise ain't nuthin' If I want it quiet, I have to watch my movies @ midnight.

Nothing a bit of duct tape won't fix. ;-)

Interesting thread. I just read it all for the first time.

Definitely copyright protections are a bunch of crap, so I will go HDDVD when I upgrade.

My VCR broke a few months ago, so I bought a combo with a DVD recorder, thinking that I could then copy all of my VCR tapes to DVD. Then they could be watched on the road as well. Hardly anyone makes or uses in car VCR players anymore.

Much to my dismay, many of my tapes have some kind of copyright protection and the DVD recorder will not record them. I think that is is a bunch of BS that I cannot copy most of the kids VCR tapes for the road.

Anyone know of an easy workaround?

Of course, it is a Sony.

sometimes if you just buy a box that converts from digital to regular analog or both it will over ride the protection. Like if you have an old tv that doesn't have anything but a cable hook up.

Does this make any sense? let me try and find a pic.

I price compare those 3 and build out accordingly.

I have bought stuff from tiger, but have used newegg since it was a small pure geek place, and also, they have always taken care of me when stuff needs to be returned and such.

I've been on newegg all day

This article just came out today, and I think it wraps up the whole thing to date. And it clearly presents hddvd as the better choice, although the war is still raging.

I will 3rd or 5th newegg, I've gotten a ton of stuff from them, from hard drives to monitors to fun little gadget junk I did not need!

tigerdirect is great too, but I've used them a bit less

I don't think either format is going to win. The push for readily available content will probably sneak in and make the kill.
