Your HD DVD/Blu-ray purchase plans?

[Paradox-SJ]

I don't see why not. As long as you utilize the digital outputs (hdmi/spdif) the quality will be identical to a standalone that is specced with theoretically higher quality components.

So what you are saying is that ALL DVD players are created equal.
That they all produce the same picture quality
That the internals that process the image are all equal....

Hum...

Maybe I will just buy a dual format player and wait for the rest of society to decides who wins!

I'm going to wait and see what "Gotchas" the new players have.... If the copyright management is too draconian, or the pricing isn't there, I'll stick with my DVDs until a clear winner emerges.

I still haven't bought a DVD Audio or SACD player since I can't play them anywhere but home. It has to work in my computer and car stereo or I'm not interested...

With DVD is different as I only watch movies at home or on my portable DVD player. They will have an easier time of convinceing me. I usually jump in when the machines hit $299 which should be about 12 months in, but ONLY if they don't crazy (the rumor that they will disable hardware that plays any pirated discs by loading "keys" to the machine or via an internet connection will keep me out of the pool. Ditto if they downrez to anything but a component connection. MY TV only has 1 DVI connection which my satellite receiver uses. It has to work over component video or I'm not upgrading)

You can buy a switch box so you do not have to use component connections
