Default I am officially a convert!
I made it official last night. Got rid of the PS3 with the games and Blu-ray discs and purchased 3 HD DVD titles. I chose The Thing, Road Warrior and Shaun of the Dead.

I wwas going to purchase the Toshiba A20 player while at BB, but apparently it has been discontinued for what I am hoping is the even better A30? I will purchase that as soon as it's released.

Anyway, I have officially left the Blu camp and joined the Reds! errr, burgandy imo. I have no intention of being neutral as I am one of the believers that everyone should support only one of the camps in order to help it become the "one" victor.

So great to meet you all and I'm sure I will be sharing chats with you in the forums and bring my support ot HD DVD in the smackdown forum as well.

Why did I convert? Just a nagging feeling the whole time i was with Blu that HD DVD was my real true love. I finally went with my gut.

Hi Zombi, welcome on board! I am neutral format owner, but for me HD DVD has always delivered the best experience.

why don't you come to canada and pick up the leftovers of A20?

in Canada, old models are always available because that's what's available down here.

I am thinking I will head to Ultimate electronics tonight and pick-up the Toshiba HD-XA2. BB doesn't carry it near me so I checked other retailers.

And yeah! Zombie flicks in HD! Dawn of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead. I only wish we could get our hands on 28 days later and 28 weeks later.

Anyway, here's to a crimson HD DVD holiday season!
