Agent Z said:I have a Toshiba HD-A3 and from hitting the power button to the dvd/hd-dvd playing, it's about a minute and change. Maybe a minute and a half at the most, and I'm stretching that estimate.
Man, great player. I bought it back when Toshiba was giving them away for free basically. Now, they are back up to $250 at Amazon!
I'm not going to Blu-Ray until they make it so I have no choice. Cheaper, more stable players. Better use of the storage space on the discs. Premium extras, instead of the recycled standard edition extras.
In other words, they are going to have to work really hard to get me, cause I've already been double and triple-dipped on titles in standard dvd. I'm not going through that again.
I can wait it out. I have the patience*!
* When/If Kingdom comes out on Blu, I will be getting a player. Lucas apparently doesn't want to release his films on hd yet because, well, he's Lucas and he has to make us beg for it I guess.
So, while I'll admit that I'll cave for Kingdom in hd, I also know that it may be a ways off anyway.
I went for the Sony bdp-s300, which stung me for 480 Euro. However, the upgraded bdp-s500 still retails at a stonking 900 Euro! Outrageous! The only difference between the two is that the latter has more audio capabilities. Your definitely best to wait, alright.
