| 513055 | 2007-01-05 21:59:00 | Hey all, Ive been feeling more and more like getting into HD DVDs... But I wouldnt know where to start with buying an optical drive, or even the actual HD media itself! On Pricespy I see a few Blu-Ray writers, but Im more interested in HD DVD.. And I only want a player for my PC, not an actual writer (just yet ;) ) Where would be the best place to begin? Cheers Chill. |

But I wouldnt know where to start with buying an optical drive, or even the actual HD media itself! Chill. I think I would forget it for a year or two. Unless you have a good HDTV and access to a HiDef camcorder or something the excersise would be waisted as we have no HDTV to archive programs from. |

| 513064 | 2007-01-05 23:41:00 | i thought they were in bed with SONY Rumoured or at least discussed but I don't think it actually happened. If it did happen it would be a good thing since Sony puts out some decent hardware but I would think that Steve Jobs would need to be in the drivers seat for it to work for Apple. |
