keep us updated on all the HD DVD news. Oh wait... :(

It's probably to hide the paper woofers with foam surrounds. I am a huge Klipsch fan and have a Reference IV setup, but this choice to move to cheapo drivers worries me...

As I posted over on EngadgetHD, the lack of built in DD+/TrueHD/DTS-HD(MA) decoders makes this a no-go in my book. PS3 is the only way to go I'm afraid.

The lack of DD+/TrueHD/DTS-HD decoders makes this one a no-go in my book. It is a step in the right direction though.

The one thing this does show is how important price is to the average consumer. At $500 and $700 Toshiba was able to move 100k in one year, but at $99, they can effectively about double their user base in one weekend. Not counting how many forum junkies were picking up second or third units, this really was a big victory in getting HD DVD into mainstream America. A lot of people were right, this is BD's war to lose, and they will have to mobilize into this price bracket to really put the screws to HD DVD.

My favorite battle scene is when that giant creature with the saw arms breaks free and just rampages on until the Spartans take him out.

Minor as in Persistant storage and internet connectivity? Something HD DVD has had since day one.

I wasn't replying to Tom. I was replying to tim claiming that Blu-Ray is superior. I'm tired of hearing how "superior" Blu-Ray is. For all intents and purposes the only difference between the two formats is content selection. Calm down, it's an internet blog.
