LOL @ HD-DVD

[Josh]

This format war is silly.

My picture should be in the dictionary next to "Early Adopter" but I'm still waiting.

Suckers...

Blockbuster is falling apart. Who they choose is irrelevant.

[Doc Holliday]

I refuse to buy blue-ray or HD-DVD. They've already been out a year, and neither are the clear winner. And in 5 years… I guarantee that that the norm will be to purchase HD videos and extras straight off the net, via iTube and MSinema.



…and what about Shaft?!?

Wait until manufacturers include both HD DVD and Blu-Ray formats in their players. Chance are that this will happen and if you're going to spend the money, you might as well get the best bang for your buck.

It already has happened LG Has a combo player out there, it sucks though because its $200 more than if you bought a HD-DVD player and a Blu Ray player.

Who cares if Blockbuster doesn't have them in stores as long as they keep getting them online. If you rent from them somewhat regularly and don't use the online program you're retarded anyways.

They are falling apart, but a lot of uninformed consumers will see the news or the discs in Blockbuster and think that is quite meaningful.

exactly. they still have hd-dvd online and thats where most of their business is coming from anymore anyway. this is hardly a "nail in the coffin".

[Wildkat]

While I hate everything that is Sony, the HD-DVD camp should just call it a day at this point.

Mark down Target as another company supposedly announcing soon that they'll be Blu-ray only.

Target's in store selection is shit, although their prices online are unbeatable. Looking at upcoming releases, it's pretty much over for HD DVD. BluRay already has so many exclusives coming out, not to mention that most shared releases end up being more expensive on HD DVD due to the lame combo discs. I won't state this as official, as the only place I have seen this is on Target's site, but they have several early HD DVD exclusives, such as V for Vendeta, as coming out on BluRay later on. Again, I haven't heard anything official on it, so don't hold me to it.
