I agree. I have a large HD DVD collection, and I am not going to sell it and "upgrade" the same movies to blu. Besides, there are still great movies coming to HD DVD. Tell me when a fully functional Blu-Ray player hits $99 and I will pick one up. Until then I'll enjoy my HD DVDs. Warner's move is strictly one of greed. They got $600M+ from the BDA. The truth is Sony is bleeding money in this battle, and Microsoft is gaining ground on Digital Movie Distrubution with XBOX live. ...
yeah they should, but it would cost twice as its HD DVD counterpart.
easy choice for the smart consumer.
Do you're research before spouting off nonsense.
HDI technology on HD DVD movies, owned by MICROSOFT.
I would be Very Very Very Very Very suprised to see Microsoft give their competitor money on all disc sales by incorporating Blu-Ray.
The same reason Warner is going HD DVD exclusive at CES. They are taking a payoff from Universal Studios, even though Sony offered more money. Warner doesn't want is competitor (Sony) profiting from its movie sales...
Yes, you're right, it does not make sense to release on both.
But Microsoft, which now has a stake in HD DVD with HDI, can make a sh*t ton of money if the release the infamous GEARS on and HD DVD game format. Once the players sell, Microsoft would cash in on every HD DVD movie sold, because of its HDI technology.
Don't be suprised Gears 2 is only release on an HD DVD disc, all I'm saying.
I mean, look at Sony and how they trojaned a movie format into their PS3 and creating a monster Blu-ray fanboy base at the same time. Good move by Sony.
I think microsoft should make a good move and make Gears 2 an HD-DVD game, thereby tojaning HD DVD into millions of consumers homes. This would be the ultimate trump card against Sony's Blu-Ray. The only problem would be Epic's willingness to possibly lose sale because it is infact an HD DVD game, and consumers would need th...
I can't even get a single online match to start in Street Fighter. This is complete Bullsh*t. I am paying for Live and can't play it. I have a hard time even downloading anything from the marketplace.
Oh well, guess I'll watch some HD DVD's. I need to figure out which movies I'm getting for tomorrow Buy Three get Two free HD DVD sale at BEST BUY tomorrow.
I do have an HD DVD player, but I am realistic.
I think Die Hard really helps Blu-Ray, but also The Jason Bourne movies only help HD DVD in that respect. The Bourne Ultimatum releases December 11, and I have a strong feeling HD DVD is not going down without a fight. Even Sony's CEO said that Blu-Ray could lose or even end up with a stalemate. That said Amazon has a ton of preorders for the Jason Bourne Trilogy and those number will hit the week of Dec.11, but I'm sure Sony, ...
HD-DVD sucks? Back that up dumb sh*t! You Suck big blu-man group ballz.
Keep telling yourself itself its 2 to 1, and you'll just keep lying to yourself.
What is the sales advantage, since the HD-DVD player price drop?
You guys are sooo stupid, its funny.
2 to 1 for the year? Maybe close to that.
I wonder what those numbers are for the quarter? Researh that, Because I know it isn't 2 to 1. You keep spinning, but your ...

you now stand corrected.
Now, the armies of Blo-Ray fans, begin to weep.
Blo-Ray is on a downward spiral, thanks to massive HD-DVD player sales. Sony has no chance to retain its weekly sale dominance. Not even more BOGO sales can save their a$$e$.
Check out the below Chart Link and set the time span for 7 to 14 days:
http://charts.highdefdigest...
Again, Stop buying Blo-Ray because WARNER is gonna go HD-DVD exclusive.
Here is another link...
Because it has emulation capabilities out of the box practically. DS + DS Extreme Card + Roms and Software = An awesome handheld.
Goggle DCEMU, nuff said.
I would buy a blu-ray player if it was $99, like its HD DVD counterpart. I have an HD DVD player and am very pleased with the movie quality, however Blu-Ray does have many movies I want in High Def. I am just not willing to make that $399 jump to Blu-Ray.
If I had a PS3 and used it for Blu-Ray, I would absolutely pick up the HD DVD player if I could get it for $99. Transformers alone would sell it, for me.
It seems cheaper to jump neutral to the HD DVD side, b...
Sounds like you have already chosen a winner, you contadict yourself.
your boy still hasn't decided, read:
http://www.highdefdigest.co...
I like the affordable players myself, and don't fall for bogo scams.
Maybe I'll bogo and take them to Wal-mart the next week and return for twice store credit. See Blu-Ray...
DVD are region coded and only play in your region
HD DVD are not region coded and will play in any region
Understand?
I've tested it, only imported HD DVDs will play not imported DVDs.
However, you could "backup" you out of region DVD and strip the region coding, then it would play since it is now not region coded.
Your post is dishonest and so is neilson. Neilson Data doesn't include Wal-mart and other chains. You're spreding useless propaganda, here it is from your CEOs mouth again:
http://www.highdefdigest.co...
That is not propaganda.
Quit with your lies. Read my link and make up your mind.
buy the cheaper priced and equal quality HD DVD player for $98, or upgrade to the 1080p players for a little more (still cheaper than Blu-Ray). I can't tell the diff between 1080i and 1080p, most can't.
Again here is Sony's CEO's words on the matter:
http://www.highdefdigest.co...
Oh yeah, HD DVD has Universal, Para...
That was probably the biggest load of crap I have seen on this site to date.
Your idol doesn't think so:
http://www.highdefdigest.co...
Dwell on that.
If I had a PS3, "I" would buy the HD DVD player after reading this.
Probably only 5% of the US market has been penetrated with HD quality players and media.
Here are the words of SONY'S CEO:
http://www.highdefdigest.co...
Yeah, Not Good. "Change of Hard Drive", what does that mean? NO BLURAY DRIVE, Maybe.
Go buy the HD-A2, its a great deal. 5 free movies wit...
HD DVD still has a large movie selection and a cheaper player price. Has Warner said if they will pull all existing movies they publish on HD DVD during the month of May?
I do know Warner made a good business decision by taking the $620,000,000 that Sony paid them to go exclusive.
I wonder how long the exclusivity deal is good for?
I think my HD DVD player will be sufficient for some time, and do not feel the need to waste money on similar High De...
