Can someone point out the differences between the two new G2
machines or point to a exitisting post?

Thanks

You can check the following thread for pictures and some other info: New HD DVD players announced!

Thanks for the link.

I am logged in, but the system is not allowing me to view the area..

Any ideas?

Strange. Let me check.

I logged out for a moment, but was still able to access everything here.
Perhaps you need to clear your browser cache.
Try to log out and then to log in. See if that helps.

I get same error, may be due to the site upgrade today.

Try what I suggested above.
See if you can access the page while logged out.
Then log in again.

 

[arty100]

OK.

I can access the link if I AM NOT logged in.

So, you can access HD DVD & Blu-ray Disc forum, but you cannot access the Format War News sub-forum, correct?
How about the portal page? Can you see it?

 

[Ilya]

Ok, I think I found the problem. Try now!

 

[arty100]

OK.

Works now!

Thanks!

 

[Ilya]

Yah, some permissions were set incorrectly for that forum. I corrected that. Should be ok now.
If you notice any other strange things after today's update, please let me or Scott know.

The quick and dirty is that the machines are no longer HTPCs in CE boxes. All of that has been reduced to ASICs, so you should see faster startup times than before.

The A1 drops analog outputs, and doesn't have 1080p output.

The A2 has analog outputs and has 1080p output via HDMI. I don't know if it has 1080p24 or just 1080p60. If it has 1080p24, I'm all over it for my FPTV

Cheers,

Huh???

I think you mean the HD-A2 and the HD-XA2. The HD-A1 has analog outputs.

A2 is much smaller - I just saw them side-by-side yesterday at DigitalLife NYC show.
