If I had a choice between an Xbox and an HDR I would chose the Xbox. At least you know the Xbox is going to work.
In my view the HDR can be seen as a do it yourself bicycle kit that is missing the chain and the front tire. Imagine the instructions telling you to prop the bike up and ride on the back tire. Imagine further that you do not know how to ride a bike. It also tells you to find steep hills in order to make the bike go faster. (Find grid points to physically time travel).
1/2 watt 15K resistor
2 50K pots linear
6 rectifier diodes
1K Cap Polyester
3 flip switches
1 lamp
lots of 21 guage magnet wire.
Most items can be obtained easily at you local Radio Shack,
or it you are not close to Radio Shack, DIGIKEY carries them.
The HDR is basically an electromagnet.

People buy art for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
People buy food that is shaped like religious figures, or has an image of a religious figure on it.
. And you know what, it will be a FUN thing to experiment with. But implying that he is a retard because he has excitement and hope about a product is legitimately mental immaturity.

All right, so any experiment that threatens your world-view constitutes immaturity?
Remember... I am not expecting it to work, or to not work, but to find out one way or the other with my own personal research.
I think that calling the experiment immature is a way to cover for the fact that, in your opinion, things you don't believe in don't deserve empirical testing.
I assure everyone who reads this thread that I will continue with the purchase, experiment and online report regardless of how many people call it "immature."

Good reply Blu-Pop.
I have read threads on ATS by people who have expressed interest in the machine, people who have wanted to know if anyone has used the machine, etc. yet no one to my knowledge on ATS has bought the machine and tested it themselves.
The $360 I am spending is completely worthwhile to me, because I will be able to determine for myself whether or not this is a hoax by first-hand experience
