    well after buying the player last month, it would be irresponsible not to buy another

    pity the movies are mostly the same...

    @vanzan, i think ibood have an option you can select to pay by bank transfer, you then pay within 3 days, don't know if that would be any help to you

    "Transfer (payment in advance)
    When using this method the total sum of your order must be transferred, stating your order number and surname. You will find the payment details in the order confirmation, which will be sent to you by email. If the amount has been transferred to our account within 3 working days of the order, your order will be dispatched to the stated delivery address within 5 working days (of receipt of payment). In other words the quicker you pay, the quicker your order will be dispatched. "

    says 3 working days here, so i would have guessed it should be fine

    Theres also a hdmi cable included, which is a nice bonus in summat costing 100 euro:D.And even if you just consider it as a top quality normal dvd upscaler, its still a bit of a bargain

    Where on the site does it say that?

    From the order confirmation email:
    NB: as iBOOD sells only 1 item each day it is important that the transfer is being initiated within 24 hours. When the total amount has been deposited into our account the order will be delivered directly to you.

    Yip, thats what it says on the 'more information' section, but, in the specifications it lists "the holiday" instead of "black rain". Also shows a pic of holiday in the forum, so its probably more likely, just to let people know.

    Doubt its a deal breaker for anyone anyway.

    Blu Ray won the war between it and HD-DVD for the HD format.

    HD-DVD was a specific format of next generation DVD (higher capacity disc, superior picture and sound quality) which was competing with Blu-Ray.

    Toshiba announced last week that they are giving up HD-DVD format after most of the movie studios said they would release films on Blu-Ray from now on.

    The name is misleading as it sounds like a DVD player that can be connected up to a HD TV (which it can as it comes with a HDMI cable) so I guess thats where most folks confusion stems from !

    Bought this immediately, purely to see Serenity in all its HD glory. OT---I will now have 3 editions of the film. And when it hits Blu I will probably buy it on that too. Sad, I know.

    Here's a thing: it's an upscaling, full 1080p, 24fps HD-DVD player that can also be soft-modded to play R1 DVDs. It has an ethernet connection for firmware upgrades. It can play DivX/Xvids. It comes with 9 films. For e102.

    WHY AREN'T PEOPLE SNATCHING THIS DEAL UP?! Mad :)
