because HD DVD is the low cost option to high quality movies, and all movies deserve to be seen on all players, not just certain movies on high end players.
There is just no comparison between HD-DVD and Blueray at this point of time. HD-DVD is just awesome at the price it sells, and I have a HD-DVD player, and I just hope these studios supporting the poor quality Blue-Ray come to their senses and start supporting the format that is here to stay...
I believe the customer should be given a choice of which product they wish to buy. Not having studios like 20th century fox force them to buy a product they dont like.
Most consumers won't pay for both players. Considering the affordability of HD-DVD as opposed to Blu-Ray, why would you ignore a consumer base that is potentially much larger than that of Blu-Ray?
I believe the blu-ray player numbers will be skewed by the ps3 gamers who aren't actually interested in hi def. I'm afraid Sony will claim an unwarranted market dominance, slowing the acceptance of HD-DVD by Buena Vista, etc.
Let the consumer be the ultimate judge. Why create artificially restricted markets that only constrict the flow of capital to most desireable option. Thank you.
I took a ride to Tweeter to view the difference and Bluray did not impress me at all. The HD DVD however was impressive. The problem is the movies available on one format are not available on the other and I think this sucks for both.
