Stick with the same dvds. I don’t know but it seems like every 6 months or so something comes out that helps you watch your movies in the so called “movie theater” quality. But to me its all the same or slightly different unless you have a movie theater.

One benefit of HD-DVD is you can still play your current and favorite DVD’s on the same player. I don’t have to support the Blu Ray family f movies and still enjoy near HD quality with a standard DVD (mine upconverts and so does our Denon Receiver). Sony is being sued on so many fronts and with all of the bad press the heat is on, also how long before they install spyware on your PS3 or Blu Ray player?

I think it’s still to early to tell who will win this “format war” and I do agree with Rob that more people will order from netflix or some other place like such.

Now if only Blockbuster were still relevant … People who are interested in the HD formats probably aren’t renting at Blockbuster anymore, opting for a service like NetFlix.

This might also be the amount of PS3’s that people have now, where HD-DVD needs to be through the addition of the player. I don’t own a HD player but if the signs of ‘rot’ that been showing up HD-DVD will get more time in the spotlight soon enough. Blockbusters influence is much higher than people think so this will be a wait and see thing.

I know this prolly isnt proper but Blu-Ray sucks and just because blockbuster thinks they win it still has yet to be determined. HD-DVD’s sound is just MUCH better. Picture is crisp on BOTH on my LCD. I know everyone has their opinion and mine is for HDDVD.
