You have my pledge, Zed, that no matter what happens, I will guarantee I will not shut people out. Even the Blu-Ray players will play “regular” DVDs.

“You can actually have one side be HD DVD and the other regular DVD, so that you can take GET LAMP to a friend’s house and pop it in, and still get stuff”.

Please, please do this. We, your third world customers, thank you.

While wandering the aisles at Ultimate Electronics over the weekend I saw the first batch of blu-ray discs. I’m not sure the problem with “50 First Dates” was the resolution.

I don’t mind investing in things like the DVD player you mentioned because like you mentioned, it’s only $99 and does something neat. And by the time it dies, something else neat will have replaced it. This new generation of televisions is scaring me. When you walk into a store and see two televisions with a $2,000 price gap that you can’t tell the difference between, you’re out of touch.

Right now I am laughing at both sides and telling people to just buy DVDs. Much less expensive, and probably much less of a hassle the way things are looking right now. I guess only time will tell whether people actually spring for these things.

Please do a version with hi-def divx/xvid files on a normal old DVD or three. I can already play that.
