Maybe one day they will have this stupid HD-DVD and Blu-Ray thing worked out so I can get all the movies I want in one format. Until then I will just enjoy the movies available in HD DVD

 

hm

 

I hear you. Prices are really coming down now finally. Did you by chance see the new super monster SAMSUNG player that can play both HD & Blu-Ray?? Pre x-mas they were fetching like $799, but now are sold out everywhere.

 

Netflix has a decent selection of HD movies, so you dont have to worry about spending a bunch of money, unless you want brand new releases like the day they come out; -- you would have to buy them most likely.

Unfortunately, I think Blu-Ray is going to become the Betamax of high definition video. The PS3 is really what's keeping it alive.

 

Blu-Ray are much more expensive to manufacture than HD-DVD due to the cost of fabrication equipment and the poor yield percentage of usable discs. I think it's only a matter of time before the industry fully settles on HD-DVD, but ya might as well smoke 'em if ya got 'em. Sounds like a good deal on movies if you already have a player.

At some point, I'll actually get a PS3 so I can view them. meh

300 looks great on blu-ray ... I regret paying 24.99 now :(
