Paul,

sure didn't take you long from asking about multi region for the Toshiba to ordering the Panny player. :p

While I think that HD DVD is the better format, I also think you won't regret your choice. As far as video and audio quality goes, BD is there. But the quality is not very consitent, so choose your discs carefully. Interactivity is still lacking as well, but it should catch up by summer/fall.

As far as HD DVD goes, they have to start pushing out more movies. I didn't expect big titles at CES, but right now there's not much to buy. They should release as many catalogue titles as possible. If they don't start to do something about it, it will be negative for the format.

Right now, I have 7 BDs on order and only 4 HD DVDs... (does not include titles released January 30 and after) and that from a HD DVD supporter of the first hour.


Oh btw Dan, get on ICQ. laugh
