Withstanding the Urge.

I survived.

Barely.

The launch of HD DVD came and went.

I have no player, and still have money in the bank.

It isn't for lack of trying though. I waited, just a bit, to see if I could hold out. Then last night, I said screw it and started calling Best Buys to check stock. The first one to say they had one, I would head out and get a unit. However, all were completely sold out.

Which isn't a bad thing. Now that the instant gratification bug cannot be satiated I can wait a bit longer I think.

I am hoping that at E3 next month we will get additional information on the HD DVD peripheral add on for the Xbox360.

Right now, all we know is that one is coming. That is it. No connectivity information, no pricing, no release/launch date, nothing.

One would hope it will have most of the features of the Toshiba HD-A1 player currently available. I just hope they don't cut corners just to say, "HAY GUYS! We have HD Movie support and Sony hasn't even released their PS3, haw haw haw"

Geez, I wanna spend money, but how long can I last?
