Set top units that are multi-format are still out of the range of the average consumer, so theres still the divide.

However, one of these PC's with the bare minimum and a combo player pretty much comes close to the price of a set top box combo player, with the expanded capability of it being a PVR once you get a TV tuner.]]>Oct 5th 2007 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/Oct 5th 2007 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/Oct 5th 2007 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/Oct 5th 2007 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/Oct 5th 2007 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/Oct 5th 2007 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/Oct 5th 2007 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/Oct 5th 2007 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/

There's no need to run, as an Apple user, I think HP's got the Vista game right (as opposed to Dell).]]>Oct 6th 2007 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/Oct 5th 2007 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/Oct 6th 2007 6:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/Real easy to use. Did.nt get the Blue Ray, didn't think it was worth it to have in the computer. So much out there with HDD in a stand alone player. Just my opinion.]]>Oct 8th 2007 2:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/Oct 8th 2007 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/Oct 16th 2007 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/05/hp-offers-up-hd-dvd-blu-ray-drives-on-select-pavilion-desktops/To add insult to injury the computer wont play Windows Media HD Video(WMVHD)--at least not out of the box.In this case it indicates that videowritetest.exe has stoped working. Firthermore: it dosnet like to play DVDs with any extra content even though I did select this in the set defaults and auto play options. I get an an error message saying unknown error COOD1163. Windows solutions tell me that teh video card and driver are conflicting over some security issue and to upgrade my video card drivers. I tried but apperently I have the latest drivers.I have none of these problems with my new Pavillion laptop ( bit dosent have the blu-ray HD option but plays anything else you stick in ).
I havent called support yet as I am compiling a list but also on the list will be the fact the the multi-card reader dosnt even seem to alow the cards to insert all the way. Anyone else had similar experience or have any ideas for solutions. Thank You--BTW I have an HD comlpient Gatewy monitor hooked up through DVI.
