The price of the high def ( HD ) version of the BBC cave video ( Planet Series ) has fallen to under 30 dollars.
There are still dozens of them for sale here in Houston at Fry's. You can find a 20" HD TV at Sam's for $ 300, and the prices continue to drop. You can order the HD player online for $ 80. http://www.hddvdboxsets.com/hddvd2-352696011-B000IJV4BC-Toshiba_HD_A2_HD_DVD_Player.html So for just a little over $ 400, you can watch the cave video in high definition in your very own home. Someone should set this video up at the ICS somewhere where 7 or 8 people can lounge around on a couch and watch it and it should run all day and into the evening every day during the event. ( I will furnish the video and the video player ), but I don't yet have a flat screen tv. I am hoping to have one by then. I would love to watch this video on a 65" LCD TV with surround sound and a bunch of comfy couches, and a popcorn machine. ( Can anybody out there furnish a popcorn machine ? ) On a related note, Fry's also has the "Amazing Caves" DVD for only $ 14.99. This video could be set up running in a different area. Is anybody out there working on having a display set up like this. The past few NSS Conventions have attempted this, but I feel there is room for improvement. I should be able to help attend to the visitors in the viewing area after all the electronics are set up. Would anybody out there be willing to donate a HDMI cable during the event? At least 2 would be needed. You would eventually get them back. What about speakers for a surround sound system, or cables or the receiver? Could anybody out there donate those for a week? I don't know a thing about sound or surround sound for TV's.
