i just got, 10 days ago, a Toshiba A35 player

Pity. Blu-Ray just won the format war.


Are you referring to Warner Brothers' decision?


Yup. It's not quite a slam-dunk, but it's pretty dire
news for HD-DVD.


FWIW, I have no stake in either. I'm one of the people
waiting on the sidelines for the 'format war' to
settle itself, before buying.


I'm waiting for the encryption to be broken before buying. If I can't play
my media where, when, and how I want, I'm not buying.

I like having my media copied to a central server, instead having my household
littered with little plastic disks.

If the encryption is never broken, that is OK with me too.
