You can download from XBL or iTunes for 1/5th to 1/10th the cost of buying.  I used to think "look at my cool 200 DVD collection" but there's really no point..

 Takes too long. I can download at 775 KB/s, and while that's great for iTunes, it's not that great for movies. Generally, when I get a movie, I'm excited about it, and can't wait to watch it (except when I didn't have my HDTV yet, and I was forcing myself to wait). Anyway, if I run into Best Buy or Blockbuster or wherever, I want to take my shit home. If I bought it, I'd like to keep it so I can watch again (not to mention language options, special features, and other items that aren't included in digital downloads).

 We're still a ways off from that happening.

I see 155$ too nothing cheaper, on amazon.com

[cerealkillajme]

It was the deal of the day on Amazon yesterday and that's why it was $79.99. It's MSRP has dropped to an official $130 for all retailers. Amazon will probably have it for about $120 when they get some back in stock. The $155 you guys are seeing is because Amazon is out of stock and that's the price of whatever retailer that's selling them for Amazon.

BTW BestBuy is selling it for $119

Like The Invasion in the UK on HD-DVD released in march, by warner.

Except for the fact that you conveniently unquoted the part where I said that Warner will stop producing HD-DVD movies in April.  The Invasion is coming out in March.

Good job, M$.  You accomplished your goal but probably not in the manner you expected.

Yes, news such as the digital bits, hollywoodreporter and Blu-Ray.com.  None of which are known to be biased towards Blu-Ray at all (insert sarcasm here).  Many of the sites that spread that kind of info are using quotes from them.  Incidentally the HD-DVD add-on is now $120 at amazon.

blu ray is buying the market, not winning it, the bda saw the strong pre xmas figures for hd dvd hardware and software and got very worried, cant find a link but it seems warner had actually chose to go hd dvd, bda made them 2 offers which warner refused but took the 500 mill one.

Which is no different to the bribery articles reported earlier on but on the HD DVD side.

[mksoftware]

lol, here in the Netherlands the mainstream already chose Blu-ray.

The availabilty of HD DVD discs is rediculous here, many stores don't even sell HD-DVD Players and promote Blu-ray instead.

Maybe over there the availability is way better as here, but as far as I know the market industry here already made a choice.

Even the news talked about it, a sales manager said it was 1 HD DVD on 10 Blu-Ray discs.

[Neoistheone2000]

Wish I didn't buy mine when they launched, I could have had 5 movies for free..... DAMMIT!!!!!

Woolworths in the UK are stopping stocking HD DVD from March.

[Anubis-MG]

Well Thats cool just means cheaper movies for me to buy when all the stores (walmat,bestbuy,target ect..) really try to get rid of there stock and all these great movies go on clearence.
So while every ones out buying the same movies I am and paying $30-$120.00 for blu-ray disc's I will be buying the same movies for $5-$25.00 on HD-DVD.
Hell this weekend I just bought another Xbox360 HD-DVD drive from amazon with the 6 free movie deal for 120.00 shipped to my house.
I think I will even buy several more of these drives with the 6 free movie deals just for the fact that these will be collector items in the near future.
Plus it will add to my ever growing collection.
Not to mention that they upconvert your standard dvds to HD-DVD status so I dont see what every bodies bitching about.
Most of you are wanting to rebuy something you already have so dont sell your stuff just keep it.
I mean come on there are like 200-400 HD-DVD's out right now if not more.
Thats plenty enough for me to be happy with and quite impressive to all my family and friends.
Really guys how many movies do you guys have to have??
Dont get me wrong I do Have a ps3 for blu-ray movies too but I only buy Absolute Must have movies for it and would much rather buy HD-DVD's.
Doesnt that seem logical to you guys or am I just F-ing nuts?

[dbrinch]

actually have both xbox add on for HD DVD and PS3 for blu ray. some movies only come in 1 format such as the Bourne series.  Both formats are great. I think now its the good time to buy HD DVD discs since its getting cheaper...
