You know...all this stuff will kill the format before it hits the shelves!!!

Also...think about when you want recordable HDDVD/BluRay

Also pay clsoe attention to you might want to have a tv w/ 2 HDMI ports!!!
-I am not 100% sure if HDMI is 2 way communication so think about the whole connectivity of it all .... HD cable/sat box (or if you are using the built in HD tuner for OTA/Cable) and you want to record that HD program. Currently you only have two sources of recordable HD.... a tivo/PVR that can do it and HDMiniDV camcorders. And those camcorders use firewire to transmitt the video (as far as I know). Those new hard drive camcorders DO NOT RECORD IN HD...same with the miniDVD models.

This is going to get worse before it gets better

they laso have some good articles on the new Toshibas.

we got in our A1 Toshiba the other day. It is pretty sweet. Hooked up to a HD Toshiba Plazma( not a doo doo ED plazma). Its also big as a MOFO!!

From looking at Toshibas web site and even Crutchfield I stil lcan't tell the differnece in why one would pay the extra $300 for hte AX1 version. THe specs look the same.


Blu Ray would have to look HELLA good for me to consider paying the extra $500 to get one of those because I don't think there will be $500 worth of picture wulaity difference in the two formats.
