kamma Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 settle guys djos i was having a bit of fun with you about your theatre. seriously its great. i mean that and i was very appreciative of your help, but it was a little late you have to admit that. the whole telling me to do it myself was a little unwarranted from the start. it pissed me off a little. people who have very limited knowledge on ht come here for the answers because you guys know them. i like it and appreciate you guys. to everyone else thats cool if you wanna have a dig at me because i probably come across as an arsehole for saying that but i'm not i was just pissed off at djos for giving me the cold shoulder. all i did was ask a few questions on a new technology i'm not familiar with. go easy on me
Guest Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 You would have got the same response from any of us had we gotten in there before djos. This forum is a wealth of knowledge and plenty of your questions have been covered before, numerous times. Bulletin boards have a search function, and ours is no different. Feel free to ask questions but if youre not going to bother doing a simple search BEFORE you ask the question, youre not going to get much help here.

Even your "attempt" at sarcasm in your original questions was merely taken as ignorance on your part. eg: DJos, your theatre is crap! <-- that's sarcasm. you were too kind here djos, I wouldnt have bothered, some people are really not worth it What can I say, Im a big softy at heart. Btw, thanks to all those of you who leapt to my defence, you guys rock.
Maverick Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Btw, thanks to all those of you who leapt to my defence, you guys rock. Thats okay mate, I needed to get the cape and mask out for its annual dry cleaning anyway.
Guest EZYHD Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 I wonder if kamma likes Sony? Maybe BP! djos, Hang in there mate, where all behind you, been down this path before...
djOS Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Maybe BP!djos, Hang in there mate, where all behind you, been down this path before... LOL, at least BP could read a manual and quote specs even if he was full of shite. Thats okay mate, I needed to get the cape and mask out for its annual dry cleaning anyway. Cool, my very own SuperHero!
kamma Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 i am not a sony fan boy or a supporter of hd-dvd yet. i am leaning towards hd-dvd because they seem to be available now and already 2nd gen players are out. i heard samsungs first player doesn't even play blu ray movies. that kinda sucks. sorry again for coming across as an arsehole. i'm really not
Guest EZYHD Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 sorry again for coming across as an arsehole. i'm really not Fair enough. You see many of us have been here a while, we have seen all sorts, stirrers, smart A's, arrogant pr..ks. know it alls etc., some left others got the moderators boot, but when something untoward is seen, we are like band of virtual brothers, that is when the ceiling falls in. So ask or make a statement in a civil manner and all will be rewarded.
kamma Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 i know what you mean. i post at a footy club forum and when we suspect a troll on the boards we also stick together and give it to them both barrels. i am not troll i genuinely just needed a few questions answered, it seems i didn't ask them in the correct way????

Well done! And I'd love to have your HT.
T800 Posted September 18, 2006 Author Posted September 18, 2006 Personally i think djos theater looks stunning given the space. Kamma if you have nothing nice to say then dont say it. anyway back on topic.... still waiting for my reply from the dealer. im guessing once CEDIa is over we will have an answer.
Maverick Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Guys getting back on topic, have you read the VP50 review just posted? Where the reviewer made a comparison on fan noise between the VP50 and the HD-A1. He seems to be saying that the HD-A1 is quite a noisy beast.
Guest Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 anyway back on topic.... still waiting for my reply from the dealer. im guessing once CEDIa is over we will have an answer. Dazbug, Robert has been posting on AVSFourm pretty regularly all weekend. Perhaps send him a PM on the forums over there? I know he has stock due in today.
Guest Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Guys, Have just committed to buying one off my contact on the AVSForum. Total price inc. 3-5 day US airmail AU$740. Hopefully ship tomorrow. Sorry dazbug I was given strict instructions to spend the money today or it was gonna be taken off me by the missus!
big_marcelo Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 guys, i'm keen ... my only issue is that I need to be able to pay via amex .... ebay rules it out as paypal only takes mastercard or visa ..... I'm ok with longer shipping as I'm still waiting for the VP50 to start shipping (rumoured this week????) and a HD PVR ....

A lot of people dont like taking Amex because of additional charges, so may be a bit of a drama...

Sorry dazbug I was given strict instructions to spend the money today or it was gonna be taken off me by the missus! Cool Mark! I look forward to hearing a review or at least some feedback after you get it up and running. That is of course if you find the time to pry yourself away from your new shiny toy. When are you expecting the discs to come in or do you already hold some in your possession?
big_marcelo Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 A lot of people dont like taking Amex because of additional charges, so may be a bit of a drama... happy to pay a surcharge.... it comes from my 'HT Account' ....

That is of course if you find the time to pry yourself away from your new shiny toy. When are you expecting the discs to come in or do you already hold some in your possession? The discs shipped beginning of last week from Amazon, so I imagine if there is no delays with the shipping of the player, they should all come in around the same time. Looking forward to it...no to get my bloodt BenQ Pj back/repaired/replaced!

Thats ok. i pm'd and emailed robert anywya so ill see what he says or i might get one through who you bought urs off. im in no hurry for the next 3 weeks so ill wait. good luck with urs, look fwd to hearing your impressions soon.
Guest Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Hey daz, Your initial post and this thread re-energised my interest in buying this player. I was forever waiting for M$ to announce details/availability of the HD-DVD add-on (most likely announced this weekend at X06) but as the M$ insider Amir says on the AVSForums, a dedicated player would still be the way to go. Your thread basically got me to pull my finger out and make a decision, but I had to make it quick or the missus would take the cash off me! Anyway what Im saying is thanks mate, and if your ever over in Perth you can pop in for a beer and a movie!
djOS Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Agreed.Djos you have shown fantastic restraint. Well done! And I'd love to have your HT. Thanks Lyle, there were a couple of times when I wanted to arm some cruise missiles but I managed to hold back! Thanks Mate, hopefully it'll be even better soon when I get my HD-A1 and Recliners. BOT: MarkH, any chance you could pass on the details of your contact?
