Most people buy HD DVD since they think its DVD and they know nothing about HD formats and never heard of Blu-ray.
Amazon and other places are full from people asking why the DVD is not playing in their players and they are forced to get the Toshiba.
You're using some reckless (and incorrect) hyperbole here. "Amazon is FULL of..."? "MOST people buy HD DVD because they think it's DVD..."?
Amazon warns on every product listing that you must have an HD DVD player to play a disc. It's no different than people trying to play a DVD on a CD player. If a customer ignores that warning, it's their fault.
If anything, people DON'T buy HD DVD because they think what they have already is HD, and wonder why they should pay $250.00 for a "DVD player" they can get at Wal-mart for $40.00.
No average consumer is buying HD DVD or Blu-ray at this point anyway.
BS, why would they make them buy a friggin player. most HD DVD's are two sided with the regular DVD an the opposite side
MOST people buy Blu-Ray because they think they're buying alien ray-gun technology. Then they buy a player and become disappointed when they find they can't vaporize anyone with it.
@Dave
Your ignorance on the subject is staggering
Just yesterday a co-worker asked me abot HD DVD. He thought the player upconverted standard DVDs to HD (which it does), but didn't realize he had to buy high-defintion DVDs to get true HD content. He also wasn't aware of the format war, but was aware of Blu-ray Disc.
