Toshiba should just start selling Tube TV's & VCR's again......... and forget ever having any high end customers again. Other than my kid's cartoons, we don't watch SD video

You can't polish a turd.......
why would I want this, neither divisible by 24hz or 30hz.....?
My PS3 plays them great, BUT lack of content is a real problem. I'm cancelling my Netflix subscription because there is nothing decent to rent....let alone buy.

I'm ready to buy ANOTHER PS3 IF they release some good movies and a decent back catalog!
I agree with someone above, my local BestBuy still has HD-DVD players at a premium price, side-by-side with Blu-Ray, trying to catch as many suckers as they can
my turn please
Does anyone actually WANT interactive material????? I know I don't.

Just give me

1. A single format (this one seems to be coming along just fine)
2. Speed the machines up. Even a full minute is a long boot time to watch a movie.
3. High quality video and audio, plus "simple" features (making of, director commentary)

My PS3 is just quick enough, but I'm still not buying any movies until ALL the studios are on board.

I had planned on buying a new 52" LCD this week, and so far the deals absolutely suck. No good prices at BestBuy/CircuitCity/HHGregg, no freebies, nada. I'd love to purchase locally, in case there are any issues, but the big guys don't even seem to be trying to win my business.

Hopefully there will be a Friday/Sat/Sunday blow-out sale to bring me shopping
you guys really need to lay off the flaming.....the fact is that NEITHER format will have any appreciable market penetration as long as the "war" continues, and if it continues much longer, it will be trumped by downloads and DVR's anyway. I already get 99.9% of my HD Content via DirecTV, storing it on cheap massive hard drives, and have no plans on supporting either format (even though I have PS3) until their is a single format
could care less WHO wins, but until someone does, I'M NOT BUYING ANY MOVIES FROM ANYONE. My HD DirecTV DVR's are full of HD movies that look great, and with cheap hard drives and faster internet, NOBODY will be buying optical storage in a few years.
I love my Centro...cheap, surfs well, has awesome speed (even tethered to my laptop), and is small enough to fit in my pocket (rare in a smart phone).
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!"
