Default I didn't U-Turn, but I did pause

I'll wait for the profile 1.1 players to come out, and review the comments on stability etc:

Until then I'll buy my HD movies and correct the BD Blu Bloods who seem to be really immature.

It could be that I'm simply too mature....meh.

I have an HD-A20 and a PS3 but leaned red because the extras did count. Bye Bye HD, you gave it your best, that's all we could ask. Sony, finish your damn product already!

The Numbers: 900+ DVDs (rapidly declining), 34 HD-DVDs (+1 on order, + 5 free), 17 BDs (+2 on order). Last movie: Close Encounters.

I gave up waiting on a BD player and am sticking with HD DVD. I know a PS3 would work but I dont want a game console in my HT since I've got a dedicated setup just for gaming.

Its funny to me how much attention you focus on maturity when your picture looks like like a 1st grader picture and your sig sounds like a nerd who hit the jack pot.

First, Anamanics is the only cartoon that transcends the 1990s, it is right up there with Bugs and so will be eternal.

Next, I am a geek and I did hit the jackpot. Not a Star Trek type geek, just more of a techgeek who happened to be in the right place at the right time with the right know how, twice! First it was IT/Web in the early 90s, then it was meeting my wife.
