OK, why on earth would I want to go pay $300 for a player that isn't 2.0 compliant? What would be the sense in that? While I'm at it, let me go get a Pentium II :confused::rolleyes: I have to say, NO, perhaps some wild sale or something will have a "few" BD players for <$400, but I doubt it...

OK On the idea that some how IPTV, in any form, will take over, push Blu-Ray out, etc... That would be a negative! Until 100% of the nation has broadband internet (of at least 1.5Mbps down/up, which would still take a long time to download a 3GB movie!!!) that is affordable (no $60 supposed to...

I was among the first of the HD-DVD camp to say it was over when Warner signed over to Blu-Ray. Now that is done, time for Sony et, al to get prices down, get features, finalize hardware, etc... Hope I'm wrong about them, but wouldn't be suprised if prices don't go up "to cover/recover...

OK, so I voted "Yes - other (please explain in thread). " so I will explain... My total investment in HD-DVD is $179 or so, plus 2 movies that I rented for $4.99 each. I've got 6 HD-DVD movies (one that came with Xbox 360 Drive and 5 mail in rebate thing (OK, so I guess you can add .41 to my...

LOL hahahahahhaha Where I am at I don't even have DSL (actually am within distance, however, there is a coil in the line so therefore no DSL for me), phone company (AT&T) won't/hasn't tried to expand their coverage area to include me for DSL, nor have they given any kind of estimate of when...

Joe, I would have to say, the chances of HD dying in America is less now than it was when there were two formats. All those that said we could have two formats were wrong. There can only be one in the end, and until there is one, neither was going to do much. Too much confusion, too much cross...

HD-DVD isn't dead... Wait, it was the first format, cheapest format, most familiar, and Microsoft backed it. (LOL) But it has 2, count em 2 exclusive studios, and as far as I can tell, everyone that was both formats, has jumped ship with HD-DVD and went directly to Blu-Ray. mmm... That sounds...

I'm a renter (dont' go to the theater but maybe 1-2 times a year). I always rent first...

yeah, knew HD-DVD was dead when Warner signed over See it gone in 6 months (at least as a movie format)

I don't hesitate for a second that I don't like Blu-Ray because Sony is behind it (in one way or another, IMO big time, but even if Sony had a 2% stake in Blu-Ray, I'd still have issues with it). However, my biggest issue isn't Sony, it isn't the possibility of obsolete players, it isn't video...

OK... So Warner signed up for Blu-Ray, and everyone says HD-DVD is dead and gone... OK... Fine I concede that... However, I ask this question, how many years has DVD lived? I remember when DVD first came out, and well it has been at least 10 years now since then... HD-DVD came out before...

Well, for consumers sake, there should have been only one format. Sony, broke away and decided to go another route, with them they took others to follow. Blu-Ray is different (big thing is more space) however, with that, I feel most over look the fact that Blu-Ray would have a higher failure...

well, good for WB... How many HD-DVD's have I bought? 0, thats right, none... I've rented 2, and I got the free one with the 360 HD-DVD drive, along with the 5 in the mail offer, and that is all I have gotten. I've used my player to play regular DVD's, and I like the play back better than...

OK, here ya go; This is why I lean more towards HD-DVD than Blu-Ray... You ready? I hate, ok, I loathe Sony Corporation. I know I know, Microsoft supports HD-DVD, but I actually like Microsoft, I'd take 10 Microsoft's over 1 stinking Sony Corp... So why do I hate them? For me, I hate big...

Well eventually, 20 (or more) million dollar salaries for an actor for one movie, and other expenses will have to be looked at, as a possible reason why studios aren't making very much money. For me, I've never downloaded illegal music, but I havent' bought a CD since 1999 or something and...

Well the article points out how unfair it is that HD-DVD camp is using PS-3 numbers to make the attach rate low. Don't all of you Blu-Ray fans talk about how many Blu-Ray players there is? And in those numbers, don't you count the PS-3?

Eventually, I'd say it would. However, even 2009 is almost 2 years away, and if you added say a year to that before it got peoples attention, your looking at 3 years before either or both formats could have some numbers that really mean something. A lot could change in those 3 years (or...

I agree with you here, it is a small numbers thing. (if 50 million adapted HD-DVD or Blu-Ray and then tomorrow one or the other died? All the investment would be wasted--in many regards, but perhaps not all together) I also agree that there isn't enough room for both to be main stream. Either...

Blah, come on people. Blu-Ray or HD-DVD aren't moving, together or apart. Keep hearing "2 to 1" lead in favor of Blu-Ray, but when you have 3 products, 2 of which is Blu-Ray, you've got, 3 products. Now, if the numbers where 3,000,000 to 1,000,000, then you could start talking about how...

OK, don't like that, can't leave my post count on that number. LOL

Um, yeah, someone that supports Blu-Ray, saying Blu-Ray is the winner, and everyone who supports HD-DVD are stupid, is about the same thing as a captain of a sinking ship going down with their ship. Will Blu-Ray win? Will HD-DVD win? Who knows, but either camp saying their side is right...

is it a dual format DVD? (Not Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, but Blu-Ray and DVD?) If so, they probably goofed, and thought it was the same thing or something.

OK, got to comment here. I do give that Blu-Ray has an edge. How much? I don't know, if you think in terms of the old type of scales (titer-totter) Blu-Ray has more weight, however, they themselves still don't touch the ground (holding HD-DVD up in the air to blow away). Truth in my eyes is...

Joe, To start, the reason why one side argues that the other side is wrong is because no body wants to admit that they might be wrong. In other words, you won't agree with me that HD-DVD is the best choice, nor will I agree that Blu-Ray is the best choice because I don't want to even think...

I still think it is too early to tell. Sure Blu-Ray is doing good, and does have the right support, but a lot can change, and all it really takes is something else better to come out that knocks both out (which is what I think will end up happening, just a gut feeling)
