Arrow Saving HD DVD??
Warner's CES announcement of Blu-ray exclusivity has created quite an uproar in the media. Many claim that the HD war has been won by the Blu-ray camp. Does Warner really believe that Blu-ray is the consumer's real choice for high definition, disc based media? It's your turn to vote.


Discuss "Saving HD DVD??" here. Read the article.

So when we're not bemoaning the format war we're posting petitions to prolong it? Seems kind of dumb to me.

I guess my perspective is that I would be willing to switch to Blu-Ray if the following conditions were met.

Mature players with full 2.x capability that are not the PS3
Reasonable prices
Multiformat players ideally so that I could read my HD DVDs
No region encoding.

I don't want to start a flame war but except for content ( a big exception), I just don't see what Blu Ray has for me.

For now, I'll just pick up HD DVDs at fire sale prices and enjoy them until a good multiformat player comes out that I can afford.

Well, there's still DVD vs BD. BD has not won yet.

I signed the petition!

I have both players, but enjoy my hd-dvd player more.. much faster than my sony blu-ray.

Eventually dual-format players will be the future "universal" player and hd-dvd will continue on.

No reason not to continue to buy hd-dvd movies.

even star trek enterprise could not be saved by petitions and fans chipping in money to produce more eps

but I signed the 'let hd dvd die' petition even though I just bought a 500 dollar hd dvd player.

The customers have chosen, and the vast majority didn't choose HD-DVD.

I've ignored Audioholics biased view of the format war for quite sometime, but this is a little too much for me.
I've always come here for the great reviews, but with articles like this, I just don't trust this site anymore.

Please remove me from your membership.

You really give up too easy over nothing. But, not a problem. Just stop posting and you will be history.
