HDMI sockets are slightly different to a rear wiper as they actually serve a purpose

From the moment that Warner chose the Bluray side, the war was over...

Oi!, alanwalne

I'm going round Kent kicking all the doors of any 2.2 Cosmic Grey Civic that I see.

Let me know when yours is dented and then I'll give up!

It was SONY's turn to win.....

Remember BETAMAX.....loads better than VHS. They'd like to forget that war. they lost!

For me it didn't really matter who "won", but it did matter that there was a winner.

PS3 ordered!

Look forward to seeing you online once you have it. Or are you only going to use it for movies?

Charles_Harding · 24th February 2008, 15:56

Now we have got the Satellite war!

BBC @ £0, Sky @ £10 a month.

......no contest!

Bring on the troops!

SS, I'll be online!

Local ad yesterday: Toshiba HD-DVD player, including 9(!) top movies, for just 89,95 euro!
So that's 9 HD-movies for 8,99 each, player for free!

Not bad if you ask me. If it was a decent "normal" DVD player, I'd get it for the 1080-upscaling alone. But it seems there are several problems with these things playing normal DVD's. And despite it's software-upgradable, I don't expect to many updates any more...

Welcome to the PS3 owners club, I see some GT5 online races coming soon!!!

Pottsy · 25th February 2008, 08:45

Yep! With Amazon now doing them for £280 and a desperate "need" for an HD disc player here, it looks like I have a free games machine. It's a shame that the catalogue is not as good as the Xbox, but I'm hoping that the whole BD thing will boost sales and developers interest.

TTDegs · 25th February 2008, 09:08

oh cor blimey - more gadgets for the TTDegs household...

haven't even looked at a PS3 before - aren't there 2 (or more?) different models or something?

AND - my 'HD ready' TV was an early one, so has DVI, not HDMI (think the difference is seperate sound?), but also has a spare set of component inputs
which is better? (and if it's DVI, do I just need a convertor lead or something?)

Pottsy · 25th February 2008, 09:34

TT - my TV (actually I don't have a TV, its a Panasonic 42PHD7 panel only, connected to a DVDO HD+ scaler) is also an early almost-HD panel. But I have everything connected by component or DSUB/RGB or SDI, so no fancy digital connections either. Component should be fine for the PS3, but I'll let you know how I get on.

So you don't have a TV licence with your BBC then? That's very naughty of you
