The specs on my dvd player (which hubby has informed me that we got on sale and used a gift card... so although I still don't feel uninformed, you are atleast right about the original price.) http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....&ref=16&loc=02
Did you really think I wasn't aware that it needed an HDMI cable as well? Or are you still just assuming no one could possibly know as much as you?
Who cares if they are region free... and who wants to go through the trouble of ordering movies from China? For someone like you, this is obviously a good deal... for ppl in general... I'm sorry, as uninformed as you will no doubt continue to try and make me look... it is NOT a good deal.
That being said... my opinion is just as valid is yours. You call it thread crapping, I call it sharing my opinion on a free board where there are only small limitations... and you not liking anyone to have a differing opinion from yours is not one of them.
So, you have a great day... enjoy your opinion and I will continue to stand by mine... but don't be an ass just because it's different... I was certainly not an ass to you. |
Well what do you think you are being right NOW?
I never claimed that I was "the end all be all expert on this subject". Nor do I have ANY problem with people disagreeing with me, so long as they are able to articulate/defend their reasons for doing so.
Which BTW you STILL have not done.
You admit that your upconverting DVD player cost $60 and yet you want to advise others that an HD-DVD player for the SAME price is somehow a waste of money?
Once again you get into the crap about my thinking you couldn't possibly know as much as I. I will admit that I made an assumption based upon your saying it was a $30 DVD player. That being said, I am not trying to be an expert, but I must say that I
DO know more about this stuff than MOST the users here.
It was my livelyhood. I absolutely HAD to know home theater BETTER than the average customer to be able to sell it to them. I didn't make jack squat unless I sold.
LOTS of people care if players are region free. If you go on vacation or have friends in other countries you can exchange DVD's without worry that you will not be able to play it.
There are whole groups designated for region free hacks for DVD players, so apparently PLENTY of people want that option.
This is NOT about opinion now, this is about FACTS.
Do you REALLY want to try to make the argument that somebody should pay $60 for an upconverting DVD player and that a $67 HD-DVD player that is also an upconverter AND region free out of the box is NOT a good deal?
Come on.
This was an attempt to HELP people by sharing a deal with them.
This was NOT a debate thread. SO when you post your OPINION here to try to convince people that the deal is NOT worth their time........
Make sure you know what you are talking about.
