    Re: need some opinions please..help a newbie out

    I brought that up earlier when people were questioning Vudu's staying power. Lots of people spent money on collections in formats that didn't last. Beta, 8 track, LP, laser disc, to name a few.

    Of course the downside to having a little more disposal income is the mistakes you make. I was a big believer in HD dvd. Wouldn't be too bad but now a lot of that collection is rotting away (really rotting/unplayable) so that's one reason I've been a little more cautious jumping on the streaming (collection in the cloud) opportunity.

    Fear not if you have never heard of them, you have to have been born well before 1970 to have heard them in person.
    As a few of us here have. Glad to know that you are still in the game. I know I will try to stay in as long as I can. You are the exception to the rule and we shall all bow to you. Hail Queen Roxie_Muzic!!

    Old or the vestige of "old" does not mean that we are not early adopters or averse to new technology, it means that there is an age difference only.
    hear hear! i vote Roxie as our new Queen of "not so young but not so old" ville??

    long reign the queen!!

    ahhh..spoken like a TRUE "older" person. when my workmates start sentences like "back when i graduated in 2000" i wanna bust them over the head with my cane...LOL j/k

    in my life i have lived a full "dyslexic" life...not meant to offend..but i was born in '68 and graduated HS in '86!!

    i'm probably happier now in older years then i was at a younger age.

    Now, when we were all in high school, then you all were old, because it sounds like you were probably seniors when I was a freshman.

    BUT i will say being an "old" person i DO have a 70 inch HD tv with a bose surround sound system... so just cause there's a little snow on the roof doesn't mean the FIRE isn't BLAZING with class in the fireplace. LOL

    j.k

    I have actually met some people (old people) who have small TVs and won't go bigger because it won't fit the room or the decor. Also, they probably don't do streaming video anyway and still have the old VCR hooked up with the blinking 12:00 on display...

    Of course, if you can only afford to do D2D for a handful of movies, sure, do SD and get more for your money. But unless someone only uses small screens for some reason (maybe a salesperson on 100% travel for work) and feels confident that they won't upgrade, I'd say that HDX is worth the "investment" so that you don't pay for SD now and then pay again for HDX down the road. Even my salesperson example might get a promotion to sales manager at HQ.
