You should look at a PS3... ![Grin ;D](https://www.autos.ca/forum/Smileys/CarTalk/grin.gif)
I had HD DVD at one time but made the switch to Blu-ray when the writing was on the wall over three years ago.
So I went out out to buy a standalone BD player and could not find one anywhere. Seems hard to believe now...but in January of 2008, BD players were very hard to find (well, maybe not in Toronto but in Winnipeg).
I did NOT want to buy a PS3. I had NO INTEREST in owning a gaming console. I'm an adult and I collect movies...I wasn't about to have a video game box visible in my living room. But I couldn't find anything else. So I held my nose and bought a PS3. I was not happy with having to buy it and, in fact, I was a bit embarrassed that people would see a middle-aged man with such a thing.
Well, I still have it. It's outlasted the old TV and, one week ago, I finally got to use the HDMI outputs when I hooked it up to the new 60" Sharp. I've already watched a couple of episodes of SPACE 1999 on BD today and I'm about to put on another BD movie. That damn PS3 had played every single thing I've thrown at it perfectly for over three years. It's never glitched once, not for one second on any disc no matter how problematic the disc is for other people. I swear I could shove a peanut butter sandwich into the slot and would play that !
I'm a believer.
