General - HD-DVD or BluRay? - View Post

I went with HD DVD because I own a 360 and I got a sweet deal from Best Buy. I wasn't planning on getting into the fray for a while - and I won't buy a PS3 until the price hits $250 (used ok) and there are more games. However, when I saw a 9 HD DVD deal (9 free movies) for buying a $179 player, I jumped on it.

Also, it boils down to movies. I wanted Transformers, The Matrix and a few others only available on HD DVD. And - the others, on BR, can be had overseas (I think it goes both ways - a U.S. BR title will appear on HD DVD outside of the U.S. sometimes). Plus, there's no region code, when means a foreign HD DVD will play on my player.

True, this war sucks, but I do know unless it was advantageous for me, I wouldn't have entered when I did ...
