Forums - General - Is HD DVD Really Dead?

Nick on 09 January 2008

I'm not fully convinced on either one yet. They both seem kinda dead to me. There just doesn't seem to be much interest in either and I don't think it's simply "customer confusion", but rather "customer indifference".

reports keep coming in that both paramount and universal are leaving. i hope its true. this format war has put a black cloud over hd in general

Source, please. I hope HD DVD hangs on and rebounds. Why? I am not thrilled with paying over $30 for movies that are slightly better than DVDs. I am not thrilled with having to settle for a format that is still trying to implement features that have been available on the HD DVD format since launch.

I just don't like half-baked stuff.


Slightly better? I've heard 6x better. No source but its on all the Blu Ray commercials. Although i do agree 30 bucks is too much, I only buy the absolute best movies for that price. If it was like $20 I'd buy a ton more


I have 2 HD DVD players and they are superb. However, as far as sharpness, it's slightly better than a regular DVD.
