Mark,
This is a very kind and generous offer!

Have I done it right?

have I been naughty or nice?

No matter what I have been, your generous and spontanious actions in addition to the generally polite and informative discussion here shows why this is a great message board. I am smiling from your generosity (even if I dont personally benefit).

best regards,
Jerry

I couldn't find the X model. What does that do? Extra X Men DVD?

Btw- is there a reason you prefer HDDVD to BRD? VC1? I think this would be a major reason.

OK- I have added the X model. It seems like its a few dollars less expensive so thats a plus.

Now- will we all have to go in on the group buy of the multi channel analog card?!! LOL.

best regards,
Jerry

Ahhhh. I see you've gone for the 2nd gen model...

Btw- Mark, I am completely against sports cars and Ferraris in particular. Since we are facing a shortage of fossil fuels, I think that F430 model, especially in silver, is just very terrible and no one should own one. Now maybe if I had one..... J/K.

I am really impressed with your generosity. Btw- yours is usually the position I take with the toys but, I really just don't see these formats succeeding, even if I have a few discs to play with.

best regards,
Jerry

Mark. Please ship mine to Ken Liles.

Can I have the second gen model? About the same price and presumably more audio options?

Edit: I've added Ken's address to my US Amazon wish list.

Good lord, man! You're rather brilliant it must be said. Mad, but brilliant.

Btw- if for any reason Ken has an issue with shipping I will offer my help as well. It would be my pleasure to help out a fellow 'hiker.

best regards,
Jerry

thanks Jerry - Looks like we have it worked out; Let you know if anything changes...

thanks so much for this Mark - We'll give it a complete working over; I have a 120" wide 2.35AR Ruby setup for the big screen and a 37" panny plasma to check out for more 'living room' type differences;
this ought to be fun!!

Your a good guy Mark! I hope one of the formats wins. Then I'll buy it. I already tried one of these and they are nice players. So enjoy it you guys that got one.


Cheers,

Ron

Many thanks to Ken and, of course, to Mark. I guess I've just been tipped over the edge...

Mark - just a quick note. I've added both the XA1 and A2 to my US wishlist. The A2 isn't shipping quite yet, but it must be awfully soon. I assume that the A2 would be the better option for only $20 difference, but I simply don't know... But if you simply just want to order the XA1, that's obviously entirely up to you!!! (It does look very cool! ) Thank you very very much.

I'll give it go aswell. Hey it's Christmas and you never know. I added a couple of movies as well.

The A2 is actually a little stripped down as far as its inputs and outputs go compared to the XA1 (which is also built like a tank in comparison to the A2). It`s lacking multi-channel analogue outputs and coaxial output compared to the XA1 and forthcoming XA2… plus with the amusing current rate of exchange what`s $20 to any Brit right now, let alone Mark here? The A2 is however, meant to be more responsive. Quicker, and with a better remote.

I can`t help but think of Mark as a Milky-Bar Kid like figure reading these last couple of pages.

The Hi-def formats are strong and tough
And only the best is good enough
The best in sound, and visuals too
Mark_H has gone and bought a player for you.

“the HD DVD players are on meeeeeeeee!”
