Damn, forgot to discuss "24!"

Pretty lame episode or it was compared to the previous ones. We did learn about Jack's family... that was most interesting.

I know we don't have the same opinions many times, but I disagree with the thinking of buying a dvd player because of your current library. Newer players also play SD DVD's. In fact, they do it rather well.
yes, but I can't justify $500 for a player that won't play half of the HD movies, or $800 for one that won't play the other half... I'll wait until that market settles down and leave the early adopters (such as you) to their early adoptions

Incidentally, has anyone been to the Magnolia @ BB in Germantown? There is a SMOKIN HOT girl working there. Like jaw-dropping hot.

I paid just under $450 out-the-door back in April for my A1. Trust me, once you start experiencing HD, you'll pay for anything and everything to be in HD! I smoked the HD crack pipe in 2001 and have been a junkie ever since.

If money were the real object, you'd have gotten the better player, which happens to be cheaper(Oppo).

24 was alright. Just like always, Jacks slept with every hot girl that shows up. Now his brothers wife? I love it!

That's what I was talking about. Lady had a $77,000 offer... then leaves with $500. LOL.
That would be $500 more than what she arrived with, sometimes you take your shot and win sometimes you lose.

Sorry I missed that part, I have a couple of them on my desk, I guess I should take one with me on the way out.
