* CookieRevised silently watches how everybody in the world thinks HD-DVD is dead and waits for the prises to drop insane and buys a player for like nothing...
(existing) movies in HD for nothing (compared to BlueRay which will NOT getting any cheaper now that they have the monopoly).........
So, please go and ignore HD-DVD for as much as you can, the more you ignore it the more I can buy cheap discs in the end

RE: Just got HD-DVD by Quantum on 02-23-2008 at 06:58 PM
Well i will use whats cheaper. Is there a BLURAY on for the 360?
RE: Just got HD-DVD by vikke on 02-23-2008 at 07:26 PM
It's Bluray, and no. I think Xbox 360 has an HD-dvd extension though.
RE: Just got HD-DVD by Th3rmal on 02-23-2008 at 11:35 PM
Apparantly Microsoft is thinking about creating the Xbox 360 Ultimate which comes with built in HD DVD reader along with some other things...

Well scratch that rumor about a dramatic price drop: according to Microsoft's Gamerscore blog, Microsoft and Toshiba are discontinuing the Xbox 360 HD DVD drive. So long friend, we'll see you in the next life (or in the bargain bin at Good Will soon enough).
RE: Just got HD-DVD by Eddie on 02-24-2008 at 03:42 AM
Goodbye HD-DVD, Hello Blu-Ray is the correct thing to say at this point in time i think 
I have always been a supporter of the Blu-Ray although i did buy an Xbox 360, my family is going to invest in a Blu-Ray player soon
RE: Just got HD-DVD by Chris4 on 02-24-2008 at 03:56 AM
Well DVD is still most popular and will be for a long time.

. rumor!Regardless another edition would not only be stupid, pointless. It'd piss off Elite owners like myself
RE: Just got HD-DVD by Quantum on 02-24-2008 at 08:39 AM
I seen the XBOX360 with HD-DVD for sale in an Argos catalog so its not fake.

And they werent saying it's fake. They were saying the price drop rumor wasnt real. Perhaps you should read before responding to the thread.
RE: Just got HD-DVD by Patchou on 02-24-2008 at 04:48 PM
well, at least, I can confirm that King Kong looks beautiful in HD. I'm now waiting for my 5 free discs and as Cookie said: if you want HD for cheap, nothing will beat HDDVD for some time.

I'll still stick with my SD 4:3 CRT TV and my nice big dvd collection
I really don't want more sony stuff just yet
Whatever happened to that other HD format some company made not long ago? I think it was like a mix of the 2 and could play on either player format

Does it really worthg for Hd- Dvd...I DOnt know You need Hd DVD, Hd Tv within a Hd Dvd player. It might worth But Im sure people wont stand for it.
RE: Just got HD-DVD by absorbation on 04-25-2008 at 03:55 PM
I can't believe how much HD discs cost, are they really worth the prices?
RE: Just got HD-DVD by Matt-in on 04-25-2008 at 04:05 PM
I believe that they are edited on Computer to increase the higher resolution since almost all the movies are not taken by Hd Camera Platform. Eventhough, They sell it for a huge difference with the regular one. Im sure people wouldnt care about a little brightness or a little color warmty for that particular difference

I mean, just compare two videos of the same thing in 576p and then in 720p. You'll notice the different. And don't get me started on 1080p! But that is probably because my machine cannot take 1080p yet. Wow.
