weaktwosAttention Tivo owners! If you're not keeping track of the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
tivolovers community or the Tivolovers site , then you'll miss out on the weekendly Amazon unboxed specials, where you can get 99 cent downloads, etc. I myself am checking out "Catch and Release", "Astronaut Farmer" and "Neverending Story" (Yes, I never saw that in its entirety).
The Tivolovers site also has some interesting links on Blu-ray versus HD discs. Blu-ray appears to be taking the lead.
I'm still going to wait it out. But gee whiz, I'm getting the itch to buy a dvd player that supports one of those formats. But no, I'll hold off. Part of me thinks that Xbox and Playstation picked a format so that they would help guarantee that folks would have both of their consoles in the house. It would cost the same as a dual format dvd player, currently.
In other nerdly consumerism news, I am patiently waiting for 1TB drives to go down in price, and then I'll want to upgrade my Tivo Series 3 to a 1TB system giving me 131 hours-144 hours of shows in HD.
