Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
I'm about as neutral as they get - but what kind of anti-HD DVD post was this?! Jeez...
The Yahoo guy probably recommended it because of its cheap price and free movie pack-ins. There's nothing wrong with that.
I never listened to many who would accuse this site of favoritism - but now I think it is very safe to assume this site is not objective. That's fine, I guess.
Sure, a dual-format player for $750. Maybe you've got more money than brains, but not everyone does. At $130, the HD-A3 is a pretty good deal.
I wonder what happens when they cross the two million mark. Does Warner REALLY walk away from that many customers? Does Blockbuster start advertising that they rent HD DVD even their competitor doesn't?
The format was was a price war and greatly benefitted consumers. The corporate collusion to end it is mainly to drive prices back up.
So, buy that HD DVD player. Spread them out there. Make life harder for the suits.
I'd be pretty pissed if my gf spent money on something that will be near useless to me in a little while. And no, I don't need an upscaling DVD player, thank you very much.
can someone say...BETAMAX?
Wireless, I hope your girlfriend just buys you a glove this year. I support HD DVD but I would be happy with a bd player from my girfriend and the thought to get me a high tech gadget. Now if my wife wasted $400 from my checking account..that is a different story.
If you don't need a upconverting dvd player you aren't in the targeted demographic anyway.
