Regular DVDs will play in any HD DVD player, while HD DVDs will NOT play in a standard DVD player - so you have the option of buying regular or HD DVDs, with the bonus that the regular DVDs will be upscaled and look even better than they do in a regular player.
cool!
I learned somthing new today.
Yes, it's true; in both cases.
I am not a connoisseur, I just bought the "wrong" format and had too many tapes to get rid of it when VHS caught up on the quality without the inflated price.
SONY caught on too late. I see a repeat with HD DVD; In addition, the companies allied with Blu-Ray are way too chummy with SONY and Microsoft and their damned "protected content" cripping of their latest operating system to make me feel comfortable.
Will it play HD DVD? Nope. For not much more, you can get a player that will handle all current DVDs and is ready for the future of high definition.
it was black friday...and she was white....
but if hse would have retorted calling them the n-word.....
all hell would have broken loose and the police would have hauled the nappy headed white ho off to the pokey!!!
And that it happened at Wal-Mart is what is important right? Surely it could never happen at Target, K-Mart, Costco, BJs, or any other big retailer.
It will be interesting to see what happens when they build the new Wally World in Trenton. For now, at least half of the shoppers at the Princeton Wal Mart drive or take a bus from Trenton.
They are basically the same things. But hunting uses firearms and shopping is hand to hand combat.
Wal Mart does this every year. Several years back when DVD players were still a little pricey they offered one for about $29. Everyone I knew who got one said it was non functioning within 3 months.
Homo Depot is a major cruising area for queers in this part of the country. No thanks. And yes, the workers are clueless.
While we're on the subject, do you notice any difference between 1080i and 1080p? I know the technical difference, and I know that 1080p is supposed to be better, but even on a 60" screen I've heard that you can hardly tell one from the other -- unless you're a salesman, of course.
I read it is 1080i
Walmart is the anti-convenience store
The restaurant I ate lunch at today was playing Christmas music.
Many a Wal-Mart is open 24 hours. I wonder if midnight will be the starting time for the sale.
I can also afford the overpriced stores, but up untill 6 months ago when I retired from the Marine Corps we had to live on a tight budget, so Wal-Mart has been our choice.
Old habits die hard, and I figure why spend more for the same thing, when I can shop at Wal-Mart, save some cash, and now I can take Mrs Castillo on the vacations she deserves but we couldn’t afford when I was on active duty.
Plus I get the added bonus of not having to deal with snobs like Bogtrotter!
Yes, the extra cost is worth it for the momentary illusion that I still live in a first-world, developed nation.
8am is the start time....and the tv looks to be the 720 not the 1080.
>>Is there any particular reason you like HD over Blu-Ray?
I’ve kept out of the format wars because I don’t have an HD TV yet and I figured I’d just wait until the format was unified or players commonly played both formats.

If they’re under a hundred bucks, get both players!
Now you can have 8-track AND cassette!
