Keep in mind that I will never purchase a LionsGate film if you don't release on HD-DVD. There is simply too much consumer support for this particular format.
As a retail salesperson, I see Blu-ray as going the same way that Betamax and UMD (for the PSP) went - great ideas, but will lose out to a more consumer friendly model or just disappear altogether as the fan base loses interest. HD-DVD is the better decision for the long run.
You know it makes sense. HD DVD is the far better product and as a consumer I deserve to be able to purchase products for my chosen format and not one chosen for me.
MUCH LOWER HARDWARE, VERY CHEAP XBOX 360 (AND PC COMPATIBLE) DRIVE, LOTS OF MAJOR AND INDEPENDANT STUDIO SUPPORT , 10-1 SOFTWARE SALES RATIO, THE NAMES "HD" AND MOST IMPORTANTLY "DVD" AS A BRAND! HD DVD CANT LOSE! AND ILL BET YOU DISNEY WILL BE ON BOARD VERY SOON TOO IF THEY ARE NOT STUPID!... HD DDVD WILL WIN BECAUSE OF 1- PRICE, 2- QUALITY, 3- CONTENT (WITH OR WITHOUT MGM AND SONY PICTURES FILMS!) AND 4- HOME COMPUTER SUPPORT
I would like to see a joining of HD DVD and Blu Ray but I don't see this in the near future. I have therefore, chosen HD DVD as my HD content proveder due to cost, the ability to have multi-format disks, and the ability to network my library around the house without needing to take my collection into every room I might wish to view. Please support both formats instead of alienating part of you potential audience. Thank you.
i love lionsgate and their movies but i support hddvd.i am a horror fan and lionsgate movies i will rebuy on hddvd please release your movies on hddvd the players are cheaper and quality is better
HD DVD, at least for now, has better video quality and at a more affordable rate for consumers. I myself have ordered an HD DVD player and several movies, after seeing the problems from blu-ray discs and will not be buying a blu-ray player for many years, if ever.
HD-DVD will be the format of choice. The cost of HD-DVD players is more attractive to consumers and with the release of the HD-DVD add on for the Xbox 360 (which is already a success) you will see this as a must have accessory to go along with every system. I already reserved mine for my 360 and all my friends are doing the same. Jump in Lions Gate!! This comes from a loyal Lions Gate and Horror Movie Fan.
