LOL @ HD-DVD

Oppo Upconverting.

No interest in new video formats until the players are under $100 and ALL the kinks are worked out.

What he said, and the movies are under $10 and "Six Legged Amazon" on next gen format easily found in Wally bins.

Wow. Way to manipulate the numbers to make your point seem more valid. How many of these 23 on blu-ray were ALSO released on HD-DVD? I am sure more than 2, asshole.

Yeah, seriously, that's some ridiculous spin.

I don't have either, but I was pulling for HD DVD because their burgundy cases look much nicer than Bluray's ugly blue ones.

Fuck both formats. Call me when there's something more offered than a prettier picture. Regular DVDs are enough for me right now, and I like being able to find any movie I want for under $20 (unless it's a set). I don't care enough about this format war to even begin to take a side. I'm also not going to pay $300-$600 for another DVD player, just so I can have a prettier picture.

When the dust settles and this shit is over, then I'll care.

Entire seasons of old non-HD TV shows on single discs FTW. I would kill to have all of The X-Files take up only the amount of shelf/disc-wallet space that a single season currently does.

But HD DVD may be losing even that advantage - Vivid Entertainment, the leader in the porn field, will soon debut "Debbie Does Dallas" on Blu-ray.

30 year old low-budget porno will turn the tide?

That article told us shit. LOL at people defending either format. Its a format that many people (General Populace) think is being "FORCED' onto them.

Fucktards who are happy with the PS2 probably feel that way too. Fuck them.

On the one side, yeah, but if people make Blu-Ray a success it may usher in a future trend where companies start releasing new formats as often as Nintendo releases updated Gameboys. There's something about having the feeling that the format you own and have invested $$ in will be around for a while.

Is this the current practice with either format, or is it something promised for the future? I haven't seen any Blu-Ray or HD-DVD boxed sets anywhere.

Thats why I used the quotes, Yosh. I know its not, but alot of people have invested money in DVD's and now they are being "TOLD" that this new format is the "Wave of the Future". My thing is that both formats are not fully developed yet and they released this stuff way to early.
