The Magnavox NB500MG9 BluRay player looked like a great deal and things were going good for a month or two. When I upgraded my Netflix account to 3 movies at a time I started getting a lot of Blu-Ray Discs and I started to see that the player had issues. Many times the movie would freeze or jump ahead. I could not rewind or forward to see what I missed so I would unplug the player and start over and it seemed that it would do this at exactly the same spot every time. I would clean the disk, try again and it just would not play. I would have to go upstairs and borrow the kids PS3 to finish watching the movie. The latest failure is the 15th Anniversary Resevoir Dogs on Blu-Ray, no audio or video, period. Fire up the PS3 and no problem.
I was looking for minority report on BluRay or HD-DVD and had no idea it wasn’t available until just now. What a bummer. I can get Rio Bravo on Blu-Ray or Christmas Vacation on HDDVD but not minority Report?
Don’t get me wrong, I like both of those movies but there is no reason for an old grainy western like Rio Bravo to be out on HD before Minority Report and Christmas Vacation has a choice of stereo or mono track on HD. Give me a break Hollywood.
They did it, they killed HD-DVD. I didn’t get to open and watch every one of the HDDVD movies I got for Christmas and it’s already obsolete. Toshiba officially announced that they give up. I guess I’ll be getting a Blu-Ray player before the end of the year. It stinks being on the losing team
