Oh, do you have Blu-Ray then Simon. I'm sure you will be able to get some, well maybe a couple of movies.   :)x   ;)

This is why I'm never in a hurry to buy new technology, that and lack of money.  :)x

I will admit I was surprised when they said that Blu-Ray had won over HD, didn't really make sense.

Indeed. Sony have never won a format war before. Very confusing...

I had a friend and work mate that had a great Sony Betamax unit, swore that it was the future.

Betamax was far better quality than VHS ever was and has been.

So that's why you purchased a Blu-ray unit, to replace your Betamax.  :)x

I never actually owned a Betamax - couldn't afford one!  You were talking about £700 for a machine back in the mid-80s!   :o

Same problem with their Blu-ray. I haven't bothered with any of it yet. I do have SD boxes, but I stopped using those as I found it too difficult to go from that the VHS to the Sat.box and the DVD.  :stars:

I just want one unit that has everything, except of course the Sat.box.
