does anyone else kinda fell bad for hd-dvd on 360, i do, because im not a big hd guy, i have a couple hd sets in my house but no high def movie players, as soon as video marketplace came to canada ive been renting hd movies like mad, but i won a premium and a 20gig and dont wanna pay like 200 bucks for a bigger hdd. i want hd-dvd to do well cause i traded in my ps3, and i dont really feel like buying a blu-ray player, so the hd-dvd seems convient for me, but if no one will support it then ill be forced to bite the bullet and either re-buy a ps3, or a blu ray player, and the one by whoever makes it that plays both might also be another good option
microsoft owes pople money if you ask me. they knew the hd-dvd wasnt selling as well and could possible flop...yet they released hardware that could play them.....if you ask me thats robbery.
Yeah I was one of the early adopters and have ten movies now that i can only play on the add on.lol Oh well ill get a ps3 in the next few months so i can start my blu ray collection.

As far as I'm aware, most people have choice/free will. I saw that the PS3 had Blu-Ray built in = win. They made the choice. They took the risk. That's the third comment like that I've seen today. They don't owe anyone, anything. It doesn't work like that...
Well who knew that blue-ray was going to win the battle honestly, I mean as far as quality you could have guessed yes but because of the lower prices even Walmart was supportind HD over Blue-ray. But will someone please think of all those poor actresses who suffer from the high resloution that reveals ever blemish, every scar from botox and plastic surgery. Make up is useless there is no escaping. Oh no I can see J-lo's mustache DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN.
i seriously considered buying the hddvd add on. but the i bought the ps3 also so i dont need the hddvd player. glad i was patient enough to wait.
thats all it boils down to...if you were patient enough to wait you get to know the outcome....if not you take the gamble. i waited and wound up getting the ps3...
you know whats ironic though, you see these people who spend these multiples of thousands on hd tvs but then they complaint that the blu ray player is too expnsive and they go for the lesser of the two evils and get the less expensive format, thats makes no sense whatsoever....
I don't it was an add-on Micosoft knew there was risk involved that is probably why they didn't incorporate it that is what i think went wrong for the format what sort of percentage of 360 owners bought the HD-DVD drive i don't think its that high where as Blue-ray had the advantage that every PS3 owner could and probably would at least buy a couple of films to watch.
Im glad the format war is ending because while there wasn't a clear winner i wasn't willing to commit to either but now that Blue-ray looks like its pulling away i will happily commit to Blue-ray.
This has absolutely no affect on MS. They supported a format that flopped. Now they will just support the format that won if anything. Does it help Sony? Sure it does but it doesn't hurt MS one bit.
lol he "fells" bad for hd-dvd. I don't really feel bad but sometimes when I think about it too hard when I am walking down the street I fell bad thinking just how unfortunate it is

I think it does hurt MS in the end. Now that there is a clear cut winner in the format war, we are going to see a surge in PS3 sales. There's a large number of people who would just as soon buy a PS3 for its Blu Ray capabilities which is cheaper than most standalone players. We already saw PS3 finally overtake the 360 in sales in January after WB announced that they wouldn't support HD DVD at CES. And for those who have yet to get into the current gen of gaming consoles, their decision is heavily swayed by the fact that the 360 does not support the Blu Ray format. But as mentioned at CES by a marketing manager for Xbox hardware, they will consider a Blu Ray accessory in the event that HD DVD fails. Looks like they'll seriously have to consider that now.
[QUOTE="rodd76dog"]No, You can download any movie you want so that player issue realy isnt one. The ps3 owners are the ones making it a issue. jmartin1016
Whoa... You mean people actually bought PS3's I never seen one.
PS3 is currently outselling the 360 and almost matching Wii sales... :roll:
