DLP HDTV

For some time now the hot news in the technology market has been HD DVD movies. Everyone is speculating which format will win, Blu-ray or HD DVD. It is like the vhs vs beta max debate of the 80’s. The Blu-ray format is made by Sony and is incorporated into the new PS3, so they have an advantage there. HD DVD is made by Toshiba, and is much cheaper than Blu-ray. I believe that this will ultimately make the HD DVD the standard for high definition movies.

Many stores are dropping the prices on the Toshiba HD DVD for the holidays, and while some are just having black Friday sales on them many stores such as Wal-mart are dropping

the price permanently. The trend is to drop the price right under $200, which is a very good price for technology this new. Because of the big difference in price between the two formats, I believe that after the holidays the HD DVD will slowly pull away from Blu-ray in sales. Once a lot of the players have sold on black Friday and other holiday promotions, people will begin to buy the movies in that format, which will be the deciding factor ultimately. The more movies that are bought in one format or the other, the better the chance that that format will win the battle.

So watch for these sales near you, as they will probably be selling out

quickly, and I would stay away from wasting money on a Blu-ray player unless you are buying the PS3, in which case the price isn’t that bad for what you get. Also, for those interested in stocks, watch for Toshiba. I’m not a big stock person, but I think there is a good chance that the Toshiba stock will take off during and right after the holiday shopping season. Also, if you are watching for a good deal on these keep your eye on Ebay, Amazon, Overstock, and other discount websites. You can sometimes get some great deals on these websites. Also, watch for coupons and promotional coupons from office depot, best buy, and other major retailers. Especially this time of year you can get some really good deals if you are willing to shop around a little bit.
