Looks like the $98 dollars + one movie I invested into HD-DVD was a bad move. Luckiy I have been using netflix and not buiying HD DVD's (for this very reason)
I will wait a while, but looks like I will be buying a bluray player.
If I can get a good bluray player that can upconvert standard DVD's as good as my A2 I will be unhooking that thing completely.
