Surely Neville Chamberlain's "I have in my hands a piece of paper" press release was the most embarrasing of all time (in retrospect)?Mr. Toad wrote:No announcement yet, but they have removed HD-DVD Sweeney Todd from the schedule after Tuesday's contribution to most embarrasing press releases of all time announcing that and two other titles as coming to HD-DVD.
I don't know what type of gamer you are, but I think the PS3 is a much better system in my opinion. But I am not hear to bash any other systems. I now really do think that the PS3 has it all (since Blu-Ray won format war). Thing like Playstation Home are going to be awesome, and others throughout the year. You can get good deals on PS3. i know Target had something if you buy a system you get a $40 gift card (with that you can buy the Blu-Ray remote, or just use the controller since its wireless anyways), or buy a game of your choice with $20 more. It's up to you though.Mr. Toad wrote:By the time you get all the add ons like the necessary remote control though its over $400. And I have come close on multiple occaisions to buying one. I guess the only thing stopping me is my WII. Dont want two systems but I guess that is irrelevant if I dont buy any games(except Justice League Heroes)MICKEYMOUSE wrote:^^ Ummm it is called a PS3. For $399.99 you get the best Blu-Ray player out on the market, it can also plays games, has a hard drive, can go on the internet (surf web), and can be updated via the internet (Firmware updates).

A word of caution, I have seen in a least two places that Toshiba has stopped honoring the five free discs. That being said, you are buying a great SD-DVD player with two really good movies for $80.DarthPrime wrote:Some HD DVD news... The fire sales are starting for HD DVD owners. CostCo has lowered the HD-D3 (their version of the HD-A3) to $79. You get the first two Bourne movies in the box and 5 free from Toshiba (until the end of Feb). While HD DVD is dead, this is still a good deal on a good upconverting player. Also a good deal for current HD DVD owners to pickup a spare player. HD DVDs are getting clearanced at a lot of places as well.
