Hi to everyone, I moved from europe to Montreal and I'm looking for a free region blu ray and dvd player. I looked for it everywhere but seems that the only option is just buying online.. There is a way to have the possibility to buy it in a store or to buy a normal player and find safely some one that update the firmware? After two years of research I'm desperate. please help me to find it. thank you.

Should I buy an HD-DVD player or a blu-ray DVD player?

Will one or the other be obsolete in a year or so? Which has the better long range prospects? Thanks for any help.
Answer
Right now HD-DVD seems to have the edge:
- The players are less expensive--standalone players start at $500 (though I saw a first-generation HD-DVD player selling new at Best Buy for $300), and XBox 360 owners can buy an add-on drive at $200. The cheapest Blu-Ray player is the PS3 at $500...if you can find one.
- There are more titles out, because HD-DVD debuted months before Blu-Ray.
- The discs are often less expensive, because it was easier for DVD manufacturers to switch to HD-DVD technology than Blu-Ray.
- The players are already in their "second generation," with more kinks having been worked out.
- Reviews of the picture quality of HD-DVD's versus Blu-Ray have consistently been in favor of HD-DVD, if not tied. That's because, despite Blu-Ray's *potential* of holding more data than HD-DVD, the majority of HD-DVD's actually hold more data than the majority of Blu-Rays. Many Blu-Rays also use the older, more space-hungry MPEG2 codec for their video, while HD-DVD uses the newer, more compact VC-1 codec.
- Sony, the primary backer and developer of Blu-Ray, has been plagued with PR problems for the past year--the PSP hasn't been as popular as they'd hoped and the UMD format is flopping as a way to distribute movies; the company was found to be putting software in their music CD's that install "rootkits" in computers that made the computers more vulnerable to hacking and viruses; and the disappointing debut of the PS3 has made Sony the easiest company to hate lately. And, as someone else said, given Sony's track record, it's easy to predict that Blu-Ray will fail.
Blu-Ray's only advantages so far are that certain major film studios (Sony, Disney, and Fox) are exclusive to Blu-Ray, and that the 400,000 or so PS3's that are out there are Blu-Ray players, making its market penetration just about even with HD-DVD, except for the fact that many PS3 owners may not be using the PS3's for movies.
So, personally, if you were to get into high-definition movie watching, I'd recommend HD-DVD over Blu-Ray. But that doesn't mean you won't be missing out on some stuff (mainly movies from Sony, Disney, and Fox).
