"Nice to meet you HD DVD and welcome to The Land of Lost Toys."

Que the music.

And I don't want the world to save me,

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand,

When everything's made to be broken,

I just want you to know who I am.

Anyways I watch mine because there is nothing wrong with perfectly good HD movies. People that have Blu Ray will finally get to see how good Transformers looks in HD in a few days.

thankyou mate I dont know whats wrong with these people I got one when I knew it was dead because I love transformers in HD and there are hundreds of movies you can still buy for as little as 2.99 but the Blu-ray equivalent will be 19.99 or more and I dont care what anyone says the HD-DVD feature are better integrated and for that superior to blu-ray although blu-ray is starting to catch-up now Rambo on Blu-ray was great

It is still a great player I was just wondering why it doesn't display in 1080p, only 1080i.

outdated means now being made anymore, atleast it means that in my book, but that is a way to save money bcuz it is the same thing from wat i see. (blu-ray n hddvd)

The 1080i/p issue in your case is likely do to the fact that it will not output over component at 1080i. This is a copy protection measure for analog signals, but it can be circumvented by either buying the VGA adapter or using HDMI if that option exists, as those are the only way to get 1080p through a video source. Games are fine though.

The moment I found out that the HD DVD drives were being discontinued, I traded my drive to a friend for Burnout Paradise and 25 bucks. I also gave him the movies that I had purchased for it so I took a loss but, in the end, there's no reason to support a "dead" format. I also received the $50 gift card from Best Buy so that sort of eased the pain.ray03314506

[QUOTE="Packt"]I just rip movies onto my external HD and put it on my 360. Can get any quality I like.[/QUOTE

how do you do that,can the 360 read an external hard drive?

Honestly, who really cares? HD is still a baby technology that isn't economic enough for most consumers to even actually purchase. So many things for HD-DVD and Blu-Ray are so expensive that no one really even cared. HD-DVD is dead and it was inferior, and that is why Blu-Ray "won".

Blu-Ray is a better format simply because it can hold more data, I know this has very little to do with the tread but it just ended up being a discussion about the people who were all miffed about HD-DVD dying or that Sony did win the HD format war. So many people care far too much or have such an overstated opinion.

As for the actual topic for the thread, I saw most of my friends keep them because they bought a lot of HD-DVDs and they loved them. They've also all invested in PS3's for Blu-Ray looks and sounds a million times better.

lol whats wrong with these people? whats wrong with u? sure the HD-DVD player is fine now, but as no new HD-DVDs are being made anymore, anything u have now is about as new as its gonna get, 6 months to a year ull realise what 'these people' are talking about

Ummm...I use it to watch HD-DVDs? What else would I do with it?Bulova

I still have mine as some decent movies came out on HD-DVD and I only have to pay £4.99 for them now. So I've kept it to get the movies I want for cheap.
