The end of HD DVD?

I think HD DVD is done. The two major studios have switched to Blu Ray DVD.

Do any of you own an HD DVD player? I don't own either, but I'm glad I waited.

I heard it's the first time Sony has won with one of their formats.

HD DVDs Fall Like Dominoes

 

No I waited as well but Xbox360 doesnt play Blu-ray only HD-DVD atm so they said they were gonna come out with an extra drive like they did with HD-DVD to play Blu-Ray. Im glad this is finishing up! I thought it was gonna last forever.

 

Are they going to give you the extra drive for free?

 

just to give you an idea, this is Microsoft the same company that charges $300 for windows, and all its programs are expensive

 

I really don't want them to go exclusive to blu-ray. Means i'll need a blu-ray player for a start, and also the discs cost more.

 

I don't have a hd dvd player but I prefer the blue ray format.

 

HD DVD looks done. Warner and others have supported Blu-Ray. Warner originally tried to create the TotalHD disc and failed.

Skinny

 

Someone at work said HD DVD is better, at least visually. I have no idea. I don't relish the idea of paying more. I'm actually happy with the current DVDs.

 

No because you had to buy the extra drive for HD DVD too

 

I never seen HD DVD or Blu Ray and don't own anything that would play either. SO I ain't got an opinion on the matter I guess. Is there a noticeable difference between these and regular DVDs? Keep in mind I don't own an HD TV either.

 

see, and what did I tell you all!

 

I think Warner just left for blu ray and if news corp and paramount go its over

 

hi,
I will planning to buy this Blue Ray HD DVD on my birth day
thanks

 

i got both never used the hd it came with my xbox my cousin gave me and i dot have a power cord
but iv used the bluray recently and it looks great way better than rented hd online moves look on the xbox!
also reg dvd's get upconverted in the ps3 and look almost as good!
its dope
i play xbox and use the ps3 for media music movies net etc and occasional a demo game!

 

Never seen any Blu-ray disk. I have a HD-DVD stand alone player and I'm really happy with the quality performance it gives. And I'm in no rush to buy Blu-ray player.

 

Yea its time to say Bye Bye to HD-DVD I see Blu-Ray dvd taking over the hd-dvd market

 

Sad time for Toshiba and Microsoft. As i can see, war is not yet over.

Well, I'm glad it didn't drag on for years and have people create a library of HD DVDs only to have them become worthless.

 

I think HD-DVD is dead too. Personally, I don't really care what format wins as long as this stupid format war is over. I'm enjoying good old DVD.
