I have the same problem. I thought it was just me too. DVD's in the 11th and 12th positions continue to ship ahead of some Bluray movies that have been there for 2 months!
I got your Brian. I love watching the HD DVDs I have. The problem is that I see no point in investing in more movies when in 3 years when my player breaks, they are useless unless I re-buy them as Blu. It's like all of the VHS tapes I threw away because I refused to keep a VHS player hooked up to an HDTV. I could have bought VHS tapes 10 years ago, but stopped just as soon as DVD came out. I figure, I save the money and use it to buy a version on Blu that I will be able to play well into the future.
You know, I read this stuff from the "retailer CEO's", but I am not buying it. Let's face the facts, most of the HD content sold in November and December is still within the post-Christmas return period. I am returning all of my unopened HD DVD's. The retailers realize that if they publish now what they may be doing in the next 6 months in regards to dropping HDDVD, we will all get our wits about us and return all these players and movies that we purchased during the last 60 days. What a disaster that would be for the major retailers. They would be stuck with a bunch of returns that are simply not going to move near as fast now. If they wait until February, we are all stuck with the stuff, so it’s our problem, not theirs.
My 2 cents.
I would have to agree that the A2 may be better than the A3 in one aspect, reliability. When I bought my A2 at WalMart Friday, there were two A2's left that were made in Japan, and about 15 left that were made in China. A quick compare to the A3's in stock showed that all of the A3's were made in China. I bought the one made in Japan, as I feel they manufacture better stuff.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
