"There is no picture quality difference between 1080i and 1080p, it just sends half the data to the screen twice as quickly - The display shows exactly the same picture. Remember that all HD TV's only show a PROGRESSIVE Display (except maybe a couple of CRT Projectors)."
If that's so, why are the movies mastered in 1080p and not 1080i? Why does a 720p picture look better than a 1080i picture when it comes to HD sporting events?
I guess Toshiba is really expecting a lot of sales since they shipped a whole 10,000 unit for all of Europe! That brings total worldwide shipment to about 40,000. They only sold 20,000 so far. I'm sure it will beat out the PS3 at the same price point...LMAO! Even if Sony can't ship but 1 million of the promised 2 million units at launch time, that would still beat the pants of the HD-DVD effort. Xbox 360 HD-DVD add-ons won't even be available in Asia. Let's not even talk about the PC market.
HD-DVD doesn't even have a drive available besides in the Toshiba laptop. We should all know how this ends! Blu-ray IS the superior format and they will be all around you very soon!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
