Clearly HD has an edge. Supporting Bluray now would only hamper your movie sales, as nobody with HD DVD players are going to go buy a Bluray player.
Go HD-DVD!
Movie studios you need to release on both formats and let the market decide! $ony and it's lousy business practices will not see any of my dollars on a hd movie format!
First we have DVD, then we have HD DVD. Blue ray sounds like fish. My Toshiba XA1 makes regular DVD's look great, HD DVD's are amazing!! I'm building my collection now. Can't wait till all TV is HD. Regular TV is like a transistor radio compared to HDTV in 1080i Don't delay, we know what we want, and that's every title in HDDVD. Got it?
It is unfortunate that due to Sony's stubbornness they have forced yet another standard on consumers. J6P will be even more confused than before with HD, HDDVD, BluRay, 1080i, 1080p, etc. Apparently Sony does not remember their own Betamax, or the SACD/DVD-Audio fiasco.
DVD did so well because it was a unified standard. In the HDDVD/BluRay battle there will be two losers. One of the standards and every consumer. :(
I bought a Beta and obviously had to buy a VHS and scrap a movie collection. not this time Sony...! I have been a Playstation 1 and 2 owner, because of this move I will not get a PS3 and get an Xbox 360. Wake up Disney, we love your movies and now we will not buy the HD version unless you go HD-DVD
All movies should be made available in both formats. Picking the losing side (Bluray) will not help your sales! I have passed over many of your movies because they are not on HD DVD yet!
HD-DVD is the clear choice. What's the popint of paying extra money now for a Blu-Ray disck just because it has a massive amount of empty space on it?What a bargain.It's like buying empty space.Blu-Ray, come back in a few years when there's actually a plan to fill up all of this space that your charging us for.Plus most of us are more interested in the movie, not the bonuses.As a computer geek I think that Blu-Ray should live for computing purposes, not for movies.
End this format war in any way possible. Do not trust the future to a single licensee. DVD broke all acceptance records because all vendors were united under the DVD Forum. HD DVD is the only alternative that closely resembles this. Please support it!
Hey ! Give us only one format : HD-DVD.. cheaper, better, and please without any Digital Restriction Management !!! and to Disney and Fox, remember, last time with DVD, you missed the start by going to DIVX DVD (not the actual DiVX) and not regular ones ;-)
HD-DVD is clearly the better format and the massive difference in initial market penetration clearly shows this. The consumer always goes with the cheapest option and that is HD-DVD.
I work in the film industry, and I would rather have hd-dvd win the format race, but all aside let the consumer decide by having the studios distribute in both formats---like warner brothers!
I am well impressed with the films I now own on HD DVD and will stay with this formatt I urge any studio that has not adopted HD DVD to do so becaues it is not going to dissapear, in part due to being far more cost affective and also being superior in reproduction.
Have an xbox360 hd dvd player and 12 titles to date, to me there is no comption hd dvd gives me amazing hd pictures on my pio plasma and to get the same in BD I would have to spend $1000 or more, I think that says it all!! HD-DVD will win
