This is what Paramount knew when they switched to exclusive HD dvd.....With HD dvd players priced at under 200...Everyone and their momma will jump into the next gen format wagon....This Christmas will be amazing for HD dvd....with Shrek and Transformers leading the way. The best way to experience those two movies is in HD...and Only on HD dvd....for under 200 dollars....WOW
You have just witnessed a genuine historical moment. The turning point in the HD format war. It is obvious that Paramount knew something and this is it.
With HDDVD offering more features and now having a mass market price point of just $199 you would be a fool to pass it up. Not to mention that Walmart sells 50% of DVDs sold everywhere.
When these players come out this Christmas it will be a big turning point for Toshiba. Toshiba is also puting HDDVD drives in all there laptops starting next year. Of which they sell 9 million annually.
One thing is for sure if you want true HD blockbusters this Holiday like The Bourne Ultimatum and Transformers you can get them both only on HDDVD.
They could bundle a ham sandwich with it and people still wont care.
And then you have pirates of the caribean. There's going to be like 3 to 1 release for movies on blu ray this holiday season. Consumers want movies not just a cheap product. It doesn't do the consumers any good if the best movies and the majority are on bluray. Right now Walmart is selling blu ray players and blu ray movies. Paramount will support blu ray sooner or later. I'm buying all my movies on bluray, because blu ray is going to win, it's just a matter of time
bladestar I'm a big Spiderman fan and I can tell you that Spiderman 3 was just as good or better than the other 2. Spiderman still broke records and thats all that counts in a world of money. Transformers was good but Spiderman 3 was better. I probably see every big hit at the theaters, I'm a movie buff and I can tell you that you making a stupid comment about spiderman shows you are just a sad little man hiding in the closet. If you don't like spiderman it's ok, but when you try to down play it just like you do on the PS3 forums it makes you look pathetic. Walmart is already selling blu ray players and movies, anyone that goes to walmart will tell you space is limited and with 65 percent of movies being released on blu ray this holiday season what is the big advantage of geting an hd dvd. You xbots brag on the PS3 the whole entire year for not haveing games, it seems you have double standards. HDdvd does not have many AAA movies as blu ray and it's going to get worst this holiday season. HDDVD is dead and only the blind stupid xbots like yourself are the ones in denial
This news is huge and deserves to be put through...and it does have everything to do with the xbox 360....
Its the same format that Micosoft has supported and has a hd dvd add on for purchase for all 360 gamers if they choose.
So the news of the price hitting that sweet spot can and will effect the 360 gamers who may have been sitting on the fence waiting for a format winner.
