Nah i do not think so. regardless if its released months after the hd dvd countepart. i still think Blu ray version will out sell Hd dvd version due to PS3 owners. So fellow 360 owners, let May be the month we all go support MS and buy the HD DVD addon.   So start saving.

Olivier Van Wynendaele, Deputy General manager of HD DVD at Toshiba, calls the Blu-ray claims "propaganda" and disputes the Blu-ray points. For instance, the new 3:1 sales figure being touted by the Blu-ray Disc Association in regards to Blu-ray to HD DVD sales is claimed by Wynendaele to be artificially inflated by free Blu-ray movie vouchers being redeemed by PlayStation 3 owners. He also notes that Toshiba has sold 200,000 HD DVD players in the US, in comparison to the 30,000 standalone Blu-ray players sold, and that it's not clear yet how many Blu-ray movies the two million PS3 owners are going to be watching.

$100 that's damn expensive for 3 movies.

I'll buy the first Matrix on HD-DVD though, the rest can lick my nuts.

Link or its not true. And besides, buying and HD-DVD add-on means you intend to watch movies on it. The same could not be said for the PS3. I for one refuse to pay $35 for 90 minutes of entertainment.

I'm thinking it's going to die in early 2008, and mostly due to poor PS3 sales.

I think Sony was really counting on the PS3 to propel Blu-Ray sales, and weren't really concentrating on the stand-alone player -- a monopolistic move that will cost them.  Vendors had been complaining about "getting help" from Sony and that they seemed pre-occupied with the PS3 in 2006.  I think Sony will try to reverse that, but HD is already in full sprint on the stand-alone player market with a coop of businesses and its going to be hard for Sony to catch up.

I think, too, that BR is going to be hurt by being associated with the PS3.  Even non-gamers have heard that the PS3 is sort of a technology boat anchor, will associate BR with the PS3, and somehow think the BR must be bad (and not the fact that the PS3's price was merely inflated by the BR).

The second highest grossing film of all-time isn't considered quality?

Compared to HD-DvD releases that really does look crappy, There isn't that many quality movies only for Blu Ray.

The second highest grossing film of all-time isn't considered quality?

I said there were "not many" I mean look at most of the Sony pictures on the list... Closer, Blood and Chocolate, Curse of the Golden Flower.... stomp the yard.... cmon

blu-ray fanboys your format is relying on a struggling gaming console, standalone blu-ray players are not selling FACT.:lol:

The movie studios could care less what hardware is being sold. What they do know is that Bluray software is outpacing HD-DVD and pretty much every analyst agrees. You're also going to have try much harder to paint me as a fanboy. I'm a home theater enthusiast first, gamer second. I spend more time at AVSforums than here. I own the 360 and the PS3. I purchased the Toshiba HD-DVD player last summer. The writing is simply on the wall. I have no allegiance to either format but I'm also not foolish enough to think HD-DVD has a wing & a prayer at this point.

 

Toshiba is cutting costs to HD-DVD players, more players sold = format is sold... studios do care about hardware. If the ps3 stalls and standalone players aren't selling are studios still going to release as many titles for the format? No.. try harder next time.

When Companies start cutting costs, when their product is already cheaper then their competition, it generally means they are trying to cut their loses..... The fact that high end computers, are already shipping with Blue-Ray burners....really says a lot. HD-DVD is clearly gone.

Ever think the price of the 360 would jump with a HD-DVD drive built in, use your head.. HD-DVD has a strong line up of upcoming titles, as well once warner releases the combo HD/SD disks expect casual movie goers to wanna future proof themselves bumping HD-DVD sales.

10 bucks more to future proof expensive?

ok using your logic

blu-ray movies with less content then HD-DVD sell for the same price as a combo disk, = extremly expensive blu-ray is gone

ok 600+ for a blu-ray player, and some blu-ray movies with less content then HD-DVD go for the same price as a combo disk are fine...

HD-DVD is in trouble, especially after getting outsold 2 to 1 to Blu-Ray software for 2 months straight.

 

Only Yellow_Rose and hd28guy_basic still think HD-DVD > Blu-Ray   :lol:

Dell laptops and computers are offering blu-ray drives in the future, not HD-dvd drives. http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9667488-1.html Pirates > The matrix as far as popularity. Spiderman 3 will end HD-DVD. The list of HD-DVD movies that were posted before was laughable. Apple is behind Blu-ray. Blu-ray sounds cooler too lol.

A causal movie goers will buy a HD/SD combo disk, giving them comfort that if HD-DVD does become the next-gen format they will be fine and will be enjoy that HD content.

And i can find HD-DVD's at all the major retailers..

[QUOTE="cobrax25"] what future proofing? HD-DVD's are gone.... stores are already begining to stop selling them....-DarthVader-

A causal movie goers will buy a HD/SD combo disk, giving them comfort that if HD-DVD does become the next-gen format they will be fine and will be enjoy that HD content.

And i can find HD-DVD's at all the major retailers..

yeah, Casual movie goers will pay $10 extra for a movie.... and yes you can still find it...But their are already far less then Blue-Ray.... http://www.eurogamer.net/forum_thread_posts.php?thread_id=77532

 Combo format

(This is a HD-DVD/DVD hybrid, playable on HD-DVD and standard DVD players)

$30.00 to $36.99 cnd

 

Some newer + some older blu-ray titles - Blu-ray only

$28.99 to $36.99 cnd

 

Which one will the casual movie goer buy, HD/SD future proof disk or alone blu-ray movie that can only be played in blu-ray players

Olivier Van Wynendaele, Deputy General manager of HD DVD at Toshiba, calls the Blu-ray claims "propaganda" and disputes the Blu-ray points. For instance, the new 3:1 sales figure being touted by the Blu-ray Disc Association in regards to Blu-ray to HD DVD sales is claimed by Wynendaele to be artificially inflated by free Blu-ray movie vouchers being redeemed by PlayStation 3 owners. He also notes that Toshiba has sold 200,000 HD DVD players in the US, in comparison to the 30,000 standalone Blu-ray players sold, and that it's not clear yet how many Blu-ray movies the two million PS3 owners are going to be watching.

Hd-dvd > blu-ray

PS3 dies so will blu-ray
