A thing that irks me

andyduckerlinks has 53 readers, but pretty much no discussion. It annoys me that I can't crosspost directly into LJ.

Another thing to add to the "Write one of these" list.

HD-DVD is officially dead.

Which means that the next-gen physical format is Blu-Ray.

But seeing as the discs are massively more expensive (quick check - DVD of HP:Azkaban is £7, Blu-Ray is £17), I'm not convinced that it's going to be that successful for a while yet.

Having bought an upscaling DVD player, and been ecstatically happy with the image that that provides, I don't think that I'll be rushing out to buy a Blu-Ray player for the near future.

Possibly when the current DVD player dies.

We're on an odd number of people, for the 3rd week running. It's awkward, and you end up with someone sitting out at any one time.

Anyone want to join us? It's at 8pm at meadowbank if that helps...
