Default Who will be the first guy to have HD-DVD/BluRay playback in MP?

"Finally got my Blu-Ray burner drive installed on my PC and playing Bluray movies!!! "

Windvd 8 with HD-DVD and Blu-Ray

BTW, I do hate DRM and stupid studios. Lets not turn this into some hate BR and/or HD-DVD thread :-)

I'm waiting for a hd-dvd ide/sata driver to be released with a reasonable price.
Any ideas on when that will happen?

(A combined hd-dvd / blueray player would be better though)

I have seen quotes of $800 for burner

The addon HD-DVD for xbox360 should sell for $199. At that price it might be worth ripping out the IDE drive and stuffing it into my HTPC.

What bugs me is that if there was no DRM, I would buy the content on any format that they could deliver, a stack of DVD-roms, whatever. The studios would make more money from me that way. And we all now that the pirates will win anyways.

Ah. Broke my own thread rules there :-)

I sure hope that the nvidia drivers are hacked so that I can view content without purchasing a totally unnecessary graphics card

I've read that the usb based hd-dvd player for the xbox 360 is possible to use with computers if an interface / application for it is developed.

I'm planning on buying the xbox player and has begun collecting hd-dvd movies already

you can just use HDDVDBackup http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=119871

the guy has a blu-ray backup too. you can already download hd-dvd rips from the internets. They come in around 20-30 GB.
