There are 70 Blu-Ray USA exclusives out or announced on HD-DVD in Europe!

So it's more like HD-DVD 450 vs Blu-ray 427

That's a little inconvenient truth for those who want to talk-up Blu-ray as having the most content.

It doesn't.

HD DVD actually offers the most available content & the most exclusive content thanks to imports.

Importing is no big deal now either, plenty of on-line shops will do it for you or you can just create an account & do it yourself direct
(as I do here in the UK with Amazon USA, for instance)]]>Jan 28th 2008 12:56PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/
Honest question: how much extra (if anything?) do you pay for the imports? I would expect a higher shipping price for an international purchase, and that *could* really kill things.

Every time I've looked to purchase something from overseas, even something small (but I've never tried Blu-ray/HD DVD/DVD), the shipping is always at least $14 or so...which would be like an extra 50% for a movie.]]>Jan 28th 2008 2:09PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/
It depends.

I bought the 5 disc Blade Runner from the US for the price of the 2 disc UK release.

I often buy HD DVDs around the $20 - $28 level from Amazon (or a supplier on Amazon) USA including postage; this means that they are approx £10 - 14 instead of the usual £17.95 ($35) they go for here normally.]]>Jan 28th 2008 4:20PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/Jan 28th 2008 10:04AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/Jan 28th 2008 10:24AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/Jan 28th 2008 10:27AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/Jan 28th 2008 10:32AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/Jan 28th 2008 11:05AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/Jan 28th 2008 11:08AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/

"The result has been an explosion of sales that puts the next-gen players ahead of DVD, if you compare their first couple of years."

I think that's just worth thinking about...]]>Jan 28th 2008 2:06PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/
While some comparison is fair enough you cannot take this too far & directly compare the DVD switch from VHS to what is happening now.

Video discs are extremely widely established as a video medium now which they were not at all back then so it would be perfectly natural to expect a faster growth today in a market grown used to them.

Then we have the wholly predictable (but unique to high def) effect of drives being included in game consoles right at the beginning of the introduction of high def.

That did not happen with DVD and again provides a boost that makes this time around totally different.
(but it does mean that the whole issue is currently skewed because of the game consoles - especially on the Blu-ray side).]]>Jan 28th 2008 4:26PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/28/hd-dvd-and-blu-ray-releases-on-january-29th-2008/su6oxone

Anyone reading the interview by Ken Graffeo recently can see what I said was correct.
Everyone had been led to believe that WB were going exclusive HD DVD until a very last minute change of plan (by their Blu-ray supporting CEO and a handful on their board).
So anyone who claims to have 'known' different is just guessing and/or lying.

That's a world away from the usual Blu-ray day-dream and propaganda lie
(cos that is the real intent behind it - to deliberately mislead anyone wondering what is going to happen).

As always you guys remain far too obvious & predictable.
