Oh, it's so worth it.

I am not much for owning dvds or HD DVDs, I prefer the blockbuster/netflix option to buying a dvd. My player came in last night and today I just went and loaded up my queue with all of the HD DVDs that I consider worthy of watching. I looked through every HD DVD blockbuster rents and found only 70 that are worth renting. Hopefully more titles come this way otherwise I may be looking for a PS3 once I get through all the HD DVDs that I like.

Yep, I usually just rent too. I use BB online for only HD DVD's. I buy a few of the titles I really like. I don't plan to change this pattern.

Do you have a link or something for this? I'd like to learn more about the origins of the HD format "war". My understanding was that the DVD Mfg consortium picked the HD DVD format for HD-DVD (is this correct usage Clint?). It seems weird that anyone would be the first to come up with an HD format for DVD and think "I know, let's not call it HD DVD, let's make up a name consumers won't recognize."

I don't have the info, but it was discussed in another thread. I think the info is on Wikipedia.
