Exactly, thus far I've been holding off getting on the early adopter's bandwagon. However recently I had started to feel that it was time to dip my toe in the HD market. This announcement however, coupled with Denon's announcement that they are now postponing their release of the DVD-3800BD until Q2 next year has once again given me a bad case of cold feet. I've been through the VHS/Beta war, and I wasted money on the Laser Disc format only to see that disappear into the ether. Well not again, until we get a clearer picture of which way this so called format war is going to end, I'll invest my hard earned cash with good old DVD for the time being.
Recently I was able to borrow a friend's Denon DVD 3930 which I fed into my Metz Milos 37s LCD TV, to say that I was seriously impressed would be an understatement. At the time I couldn't justify the price tag. With hindsight though, I'd rather invest in a top shelf DVD player than an early generation HD DVD or Blu ray player and all the associated problems that come with a format(s) that is still in it's infancy.
