I don't see why you people care so much. The movies look and sound the same on either format, so there's no need for you to bash. In fact, for all of these movies (on sale in both formats), I'm sure the video is the exact same encode on both copies.

Really! My HD DVD discs will be obsolete when they no longer server my purpose and NOT before. Just because some blow-hard is proving that the BD crowd is a bunch of sore winners doesn't automatically make anything obsolete. As long as my HD-A2 is spinning away and doing exactly what it should be doing - playing HD DVDs and upscaling regular DVDs - it is not obsolete.

But, hey, let's just go ahead and call Blu-ray obsolete because in 20 years it will be replaced by something else! Pfft! Why bother buying into it now if it will eventually become obsolete anyway?]]>Jan 29th 2008 12:31AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/Jan 29th 2008 4:40AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/

I need to fill out my collection more of HD DVD movies so I can watch them on all 4 players around my place. The funny thing is that I paid 4 HD DVD players like 1 Blu-Ray player LOL..

Too bad Walmart has ceased to carry HD-DVD.]]>Jan 28th 2008 11:52PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/
First Best Buy now Gamestop.. I think everyone is realizing that PS3 is a flop. So why would I again buy Blu-Ray?

I'll continue buying HD DVDs and recommend HD DVD players and movies to everyone because it's cheaper, better format that everyone can afford with absolutely stunning quality and of course movies that are awesome like Mission Impossible 1,2,3, Shrek, Matrix, Transformers, American Gangster not to mention the biggest hits this year like There Will Be Blood, Ironman, Cloverfield, Mummy 3 and the list goes on.

You can just get your panties in a bunch that your Blu-ray format even with studio lead will still be a failure. The demise will just be faster as now when the gloves are off you'll see Toshiba hits one after another and everything starts with Super Bowl where Sony didn't have enough money to buy an ad since they spent all their money paying off retailers and studios in attempt to prevent consumers from getting better and cheaper technology. But you know, what goes around comes around.]]>Jan 29th 2008 12:37AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/
I guess there's nothing to say to such a pathetic attitude ... except that it's because of people like you that I've already refused to buy a PS3 (which I could go out and buy right now with no worries about my financial situation, by the way, not that I expect you to believe that). I refuse to be categorized with mind-numbimgly shallow jackasses like yourself.]]>Jan 29th 2008 12:37AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/
Btw, all they can do is spew ridiculous crap like Walmart stopped carrying HD DVD LOL.. My Walmart just got new $149 and $199 HD DVD players with HD DVD movies present in the few places around the store while they completely ditched Blu-Ray movies, I mean at first I thought it was a mistake as they had a few Blu-Ray movies before but now, nothing, zilch.. no Blu-Ray movies at all and some HD DVD movies (not a lot).

Just watch when Toshiba sells at least another million of players in Q1 and Q2 of 2008 completely destroying standalone Blu-Ray players and releasing twin discs instead of regular SD DVDs. It's gonna become very quickly clear what type of illusion Blu-Ray win was, not to mention that it will show Warner, Target, Blockbuster and other companies going exclusive on ridiculous low numbers (they were probably paid off anyways) in the real light as complete anti-consumer companies.

To me, EVERY retailer who continues carrying both under equal numbers gets my business and respect, it shows they are willing to provide consumers with ultimate choice, be it good or bad (even in Blu-Ray's case as bad).]]>Jan 29th 2008 12:44AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/
HDDVD is dead. Let it go. Movies will look exactly the same on either format. VC-1/264 looks exactly the same on either format...red or blu. The only people who give a shit about the format war are those who spent too much $$ on the losing format.]]>Jan 29th 2008 1:19AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/

Your pathetic statements about "last legs" is making you just as bad as HDPurist, Nfinity, or any of the others. He now has 4 HD DVD players (assuming that we take such claims at face value.) Fine. He just guaranteed that he'll be able to watch his HD DVDs for *years* to come. After all, it will take quite a while for all of those players to become unplayable, but who knows how long that will be? ONLY THEN will any format be on its last legs.

I apparently need to remind you that all HD DVD players are upconverters. So, does that also mean that DVD is on its last legs?

This stupidity that is continually spewed about "obsolete" hardware or "on its last legs" or whatever other derogatory term is applied to any type of format that is no longer popular is complete BS as long as there are people out there who enjoy that format.

If he gets value out of his purchases, then it is not your place, nor is it the place of anyone else, to criticize that. It's his money, not yours. Leave it be.]]>Jan 29th 2008 8:31AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/Jan 28th 2008 11:48PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/Jan 29th 2008 12:38AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/Jan 29th 2008 3:05AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/Jan 29th 2008 4:33AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/"poised to overtake the 360 in PAL-land very shortly."....
What have you been smoking!

So what the hell are you smoking buddy? dont bring up worldwide sales, because thats not what he was talking about. And the truth of the matter is, the PS3 is on pace to pass it in europe, japan its not even a contest, i believe the ps3 has been outselling the 360 in australia, the only place where the 360 has a strong foothold is NA, and even that margin is slowly started to get eroded. How this next year plays out as far as console sales may be interesting, just about every magazine and online place that i've seen that does video game coverage says that the PS3 has a better exclusive lineup than the 360 in 08]]>Jan 29th 2008 5:02AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/
And let's assume for the sake of argument that the 360 has sold 16.63 million worldwide and the
PS3 has sold only 9.5 million. The 360 has been out for twice as long as the PS3 yet it doesn't have twice the sales. In fact it appears to have done worse this year than it did last year. This should be setting off alarm bells for Microsoft.]]>Jan 29th 2008 6:57AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/amazon-at-it-again-offers-up-deals-on-hd-dvd-titles/

The 80GB being replaced by another model that may have a bigger hard drive is speculation at this point. There has been no official announcement as such. It seems odd to offer a unit with a bigger hard drive when the hard drive in the PS3 is user upgradable. It's even detailed in the owner's manual. Actually the 80GB being discountinued is because it's costing Sony more to produce and they're taking a loss on each unit sold. Any eventual replacement models will have less costly components.

And to compare worldwide sales of the PS3 with the Xbox 360 is kinda stupid. Sony sold over one hundred million PS2s, while the original Xbox sold 30 million units. The PS3 should be killing the 360 and it's not. The 360 has outsold the PS3 in the US three times over.
