Default Sorry for the irony
Our family all came down to visit for the 4th of July weekend ands had just left yesterday, including our kids who are visiting relatives.
My wife and I had just gotten another box of HD DVDs from Germany and were going to watch them when our A35 bricked. We had just done the upgrade, and now the thing couldn't get past the "Welcome" sign. So, off to Best Buys for a SuperBLU. Our first BD capable player.
We set it up and watched PERFUME and discussed what to do with our vacation.

She passed away last night in her sleep.

Nearly 500 movies we had collected. Now I will be watching them alone.

That is so very sad to hear. I know you will find positives in this and continue forth, knowing she is looking down on you. Best wishes.

Sorry to hear that sir. I'm sorry for your loss. I think time's like this remind how petty thing's like blu-ray vs. hd dvd are and what's really important. Anyway's try and keep your head up and think of all the good time's you two shared when you get down.

That's horrible, it really is a wake up call when you lose someone close to you. I try to live life to the fullest now, because we never know when something will happen.

I'm very sorry about your loss, but I hope you are able to recover and become stronger because of it, everything happens for a reason.
