Disney... I am one of your biggest and most loyal fans. I go to the Disney parks at least 2-3 times a year (typically 4 times or more). I have been to WDW, Disneyland Resort and the Tokyo Disneyland Resort (including the incredible Tokyo DisneySea!). I will be going to DLP next year. PLEASE START DISTRIBUTING YOUR MOVIES IN HD-DVD!!!!! Sony doesn't want to do you any favors with Blu-Ray. Listen to your loyal fans! I want to buy your movies on HD-DVD but cannot at the present moment. See you in WDW in a couple of months!
This is the cheapest and easist hd format, i wish DISNEY would let the parents that own HD DVD player to be able to buy the kids the DISNEY movies they love SOOOOO much, DISNEY needs to relize that!!!!!!
so less remains for hd dvd to have all the great movies 20thfox mgm i hope they will understand
cause i'll buy all their best movies!!!
long live to hd dvd!!!
I do not hold the believe that both high-def formats ca coexist indefinitely. One will fade out of popularity to the other. What I also believe is that HD DVD is, overall, the better format. ...Heck the porn industry agrees as well. There is no arguing the cash flow that industry provides. More money (and popularity) for HD DVD is guaranteed through the aid of smut, like it or not.
The Blue Ray market is being artificially boistered by PS3 sales. As more consumer products become available at lower prices HD DVD must become the standard. Studios failure to support HD DVD will only extend the time it takes which will hurt studio sales and consumer choice. Please support HD DVD NOW!!
HD DVD rules. Blu Ray sucks ball and must die quickly. All the studio must support HD DVD as more movies title on HD DVD because it was better format and cheapest price. Go checking www.next-gen.com. That site said HD DVD winner over Blu Ray in Europe. European favor and love HD DVD over Blu Ray. Please all your studio must to listen to HD DVD owner's wish and want to buy more movies title. HD DVD rules.
make a lot of hddvd and you sales a lot of hddvd. Le grand public achetera le moins cher des lecteur donc le hddvd or pour l'instant ce n'est que les cinephiles qui achetent des films hd quant le grand public s'y mettra ce sera la victoire du hddvd
It's humorous how Blu-ray is continually touted by the format's minion backers as being technically superior to HD DVD. Oh really? Like the "superiority" of outdated AC3/DD5.1 and space gobbling PCM sound samplings compared to Dolby Digital Plus along with the lossless Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD? No, no wait! The "superiority" of the ancient inefficient MPEG2 video format vs. the pristine quality of VC-1? Oh I know...almost no extras with buggy java menus vs. smooth HDi interactivity. Wait, wait oh I get it now!! It's "better" that Blu-ray does not allow you to seemlessly integrate new bonus materials into the special features menu as does HD DVD. Blu-ray is also "superior" because all of it's players currently for sale support only the Blu-ray 1.0 profile which is already obsolete...oh boy, every single Blu-ray player on the market today are dinosaurs since the 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0 profiles were already announced...what a joke! I guess it's "a drag" that _ALL_ HD DVD players are easily updated to newer functions to avoid obsolescence due to continuing technological developments. ...Oh yeah Blu-ray has more space per layer even though plenty of releases are only on single layer with wasteful MPEG2 and PCM. Even the 50GB dual layer disks are just beginning to compare to the quality HD DVD had at inception. Yeah there we go, due to placing the data layer a mere one tenth of a millimeter below the disk's surface. Those restore kits can't help now. Kiss the Blu-ray disk goodbye from a hairline scratch. YESSS!!...isn't THAT "superior"?!!! Doesn't it "suck" that all HD DVD disks can be easily restored just like CDs and DVDs? ...Well maybe the Blu-ray Group thinks so, of course, all they are out to do is brainwash the populous through boastful misleading lies in orde
come on guys - lots of people out here with hd dvd players want to buy movies. and probably are not gonna shell out again on semi featured blu ray. why dont you just release on both formats??? I wont be buying a blu ray player - and if theres no hd dvd release i guess there will always be an hd divx rip floating around somewhere to fill the void.
There would be room
for two formats if the
studios would stop playing favorites. Fox & Disney should begin releasing titles on HD DVD while Universal should do the same with Blu-ray. Stop the childish games already.
Consumers want only a single format. It worked commercially with DVDs. HD-DVD should be that format.
It has better compression and a better feature set.
I agree with everyone refusing to buy a PS3 for a cheap Blue-ray player. I own the HD-XA1 to watch movies and will buy the new one when it comes out.
Long Live HD-DVD!!!
Why must we consumers be subjected to yet another major format war? It really hurts those who ended up placing their bets on the wrong horse. My memories are still very fresh concerning the beta/vhs fiasco. Standardizing the original DVD was brilliant, not one person worried about investing in the format...knowing it would not die. Now look what we have here: two competing HD disk formats. It certainly is true that history tends to repeat itself, and when greed is involved, corporate gluttony never learns from its past mistakes. My money is on HD DVD. Sony's megalomania disgusts me.
I would also love to see all these great movies on my HD DVD player. As being in the service and making all this money;) I refuse to purchase those movies unless its on HD DVD. Since I already have one and not a blu-ray.
HD DVD is cheaper and definately has it's act together. Blu Ray still trying to come up with new versions making old players not fully functional is a load of crap. I would love to see other studios that are Blu Ray exclusive become part of the HD DVD format lineup.
I would like to solemnly state that I own a PS3 for *games* and an HD-XA1 for *movies*. I will _never_ purchase a single Blu-ray movie for my PS3 no matter how desirable it may be. Sorry Sony, your low-blow tactics to gain a movie sales edge will not get you any more $$$ from this consumer. HD DVD is the future. Much better video quality, mandatory lossless sound codecs and far superior to java: the HDi bonus features. Your destiny is to rot like Beta Blu-ray. Do the movie industry a favor and die asap. Please stop introducing ridiculous formats that are doomed to failure.
Please Please all the studio movies coming on HD DVD as Blu Ray support. Alot of people favor HD DVD over Blu ray because it was inferior and too expensive. That not fair Blu Ray had alot of movie title than HD DVD's few movie title. HD DVD was better format and cheap price to peole can buy it. I am prayful your all studio like Sony, Fox, Liongate, Disney, and MGM must support HD DVD this year soon or later. HD DVD is best name but Blu Ray was stupid name not fit the movie industry. If you want to more money then support the HD DVD. HD DVD will win format war. I want to HD DVD is only one standard player and all the movies come on HD DVD only. I want Blu Ray get out of market and stop the product no more Blu ray in the future. ALot of people hate Blu Ray and they were not happy with Blu Ray player. People were vote HD DVD over Blu Ray. Blu Ray is dead. Please all your studio listen to fan's wish come true and want to buy more movie coming on HD DVD. But that not enough movie title. Please your all studio must support on HD DVD. Blu Ray suck!!!
I will not be forced into buying a format Idont want. If Fox and MGM and Disney think they are going to be getting any money from me through the BDbrand they are highly mistaken. I have alot of money to spend on movies and HDDVD studios will get that money. You want a piece then suppot HD DVD. Its that simple.
Try backing the winning format and not the new Betamax because until then you wont see any more money from me, not even in Standard DVD sales, i will not support a Blu-RAY only company in any way.
Sony should've learned their lesson with Betamax. You can't force-feed the consumer base your proprietary format and expect a positive reaction. Seeing as how I'm not a millionaire, I support HD-DVD. Less cost for more quality FTW.
I see no reason why I should have to pay $1000+ to watch movies in HD.
My Toshiba HD-DVD player cost half as much as most stand alone Blu-Ray players and all the movies I've bought look great. Easily as good, if not better than the best movies available on Blu-Ray.
There are many people out there who do not have the money, or aren't willing to cough up, upwards of a $1000 on a Blu-Ray player so releasing your movies on HD-DVD, will benefit a lot of people.
Thanks.
I thoroughly support HD-DVD having done the research. I currently have 500 DVDs. My library of HD-DVDs will increase only as fast as the studios release the movies.
HD-DVD is the true successor to DVD. Abandon this over-priced Sony garbage and come to your senses. 2007 was the peak for Blu-Ray, and it's all down-hill from here. Here come the $399 and under HD-DVD players, and with them will come the end of this format war! Sony "rootkit" can take a flying leap.
Blu-Ray sales stink without Sony & Fox giving away free discs through sales & rebates! Look at the polls on AVS Forun -- people prefer HD-DVD! I will NEVER buy i nto Blu-Ray, so if you want MY money release on the better format!
HD-DVD or else lose me as a buyer, I wont be getting bluray due to the price. I got a hd-dvd player for 400 bucks. I already own 21 hd-dvds and would be buying fox Hd-dvd too
98% of consumers who own HD-DVD and don't own BluRay prefer HD-DVD to BluRay. The other 2% are Best Buy employees whose girlfriends got them HD-DVD because they knew it was better.
If studios want to make money they need to also support HD DVD. This format will be the first to offer a $199 player within a year, that will open the floodgates to mainstream consumers. Support HD DVD now.
