    I'd Say this is the Nail in the Coffin for HD-DVD!

    i do tend to get very passionate about things I believe in, and i've wanted Bluray to win from the off and it seemed like it wasn't going to but now seems to be well on the way so I am happy.

    I'd Say this is the Nail in the Coffin for HD-DVD!

    so people haven't gone mad and all gone out and started to buy HD TV's then? People will buy what places like Comet and Dixons Stock. They all stock big HD tv's and so thats what people buy. Dixons made the DVD player and DVD recorder/PVR the standard by discontinuing VHS players. When they...

    I'd Say this is the Nail in the Coffin for HD-DVD!

    i'd say for people without a Bluray player looking to get one the obvious choice is the PS3, especially as its futureproof, what with being able to update the firmware, which is something most bluray players suffer from not having the capability to do. And especially as the bluray capabilities...

    lol, took me ages to work out this was an old thread, when I was reading about a 1080p tv costing £1300! I have never been a plasma fan, its always been overshadowed by LCD IMO. I hate the idea of screen burn as it can happen so easily,I would never shy away from LCD myself, the technology has...

    watch 'The Big Bang' at 10pm tonight on C4. Its a very good series if you liked something like the IT Crowd. Its a US series about a group of geeks that live opposite a fit girl and tehm trying it on with her. Its very funny and my favourite comedy of recent times.
