Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
I agree with SMan. I am not buying movies right now because;
A - I don't want to be stuck buying two players to be able to watch all my HD movies with all interactive features intact.
B - I do not want to buy an uber expensive dual format player.
C - I do not want to buy SD movies anymore seeing as HD movies available, and I have an HD TV.
Same reasons I'm on the fence.
For $300, you can have both formats if you have an HTPC with enough power (link below). Even if you don't have an HDCP video card, just get AnyDVD HD and everything will play well together.
Of course, you will have to use Cyberlink's PowerDVD HD which (is buggy and it) downsamples HD audio to DVD-equivalent quality. Also, you will never (at least for the forseeable future) be able to get a 7.1 digital signal to the receiver as Optical/Toslink can only carry digital 5.1. But most high-end receivers can take a 5.1 digital signal and pump out 7.1 channels with Dolby EX.
In any case, I guess it is kind of a mixed bag. But for those that are interested in a cheap dual alternative, here is the HTPC dual format player:
