I know people will jump on here and say the difference between P and I would be neglible on the screen that I'm looking at (37") but honestly, I don't care. I just want something that will work for both now and later. Until it hits that price-point and feature set, no thank you, I'll stick to a good upconverting DVD player.]]>Apr 4th 2006 9:54AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/Apr 4th 2006 12:55PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/
Mind you I'm in Chile, where all the HDTV I can get is through BitTorrent (yes, you CAN find HDTV in BitTorrent, chinese torrent sites are full of it), so I'm probably willing to pay a bit more because I don't have too many options.]]>Apr 4th 2006 1:19PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/Apr 4th 2006 1:39PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/Apr 4th 2006 1:39PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/flop!
It'll depend on the restocking fee!

No really, I won't buy first gen at all (when does that end btw? When a particluar company releases a new player or after all companies release a player?)

I'd like to see all features of either format. Without the interactive layer (or whatever else is left out), this first gen. would be this format's version of non-upconverting DVD players, which I think are useless anyway..]]>Apr 4th 2006 3:01PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/Apr 4th 2006 3:32PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/
Calling HD-DVD "fibbers" for delays caused by diagreements within the Blu-ray camp over AACS is being just a bit overzealous.

I'll decide what i will and won't pay once actually see some players and discs, I haven't had the opportunity to yet, but I won't be buying first day, week or month.]]>Apr 4th 2006 4:18PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/

Both are in Chinese, but easy to figure out.

Actually, if you read the comments about Ben's post on how there is "no HDTV via BitTorrent", you'll find more links to "true" HDTV content via BitTorrent.

I paid $249 for my Denon that upconverts via DVI (HDCP) and it has that Faroudja DCDi chip in it. I won't pay much more than that.]]>Apr 4th 2006 7:09PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/
I'd rather watch Star Wars in Black and White/Mono then watch the Pacifier in HD and 7.1.

Give me a decent library and we'll talk.]]>Apr 5th 2006 11:56AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/
And I agree with Thomas. A strong content library has to be there before I buy anything.]]>Apr 6th 2006 10:25AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/04/what-is-your-price/Apr 7th 2006 2:26PM
