Is hardly a comeback but lets say its more like where HD-DVD stay in a normal sales basis. The rushing for the BDA to kill HD-DVD will start when Warner finally change its position. At least thats were I expect a killer agenda of upcoming movies and offers.
I don't believe neither Universal or Paramount will release any movie like Godfather any time soon or never on HD-DVD.

I find it preety fascinating more people here aren't take advantage of these deals:
Barnes and nobles deal + Amazon A3 for the same price as one PS3(400) you can pick up:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000U62N1S/?tag=neogaf0e-20
24 more with the B&N deal. 31 + player.
11.25/movie
Posistive notes for Blu-only crowd:
Even if your expectation is that Hd-dvd is going to die then you are going to be able to get some deals later on. The best part is nobody is going to ask to borrow your shit if you think this is the end.

Considering BD SW has been outselling HD DVD by > 3:1 since the Warner switchover ... lol no.
Beyond the numerous 'other' reasons for BD-only studios' entrenchment, the start up costs for switching over to neutral just don't make sense financially given the sales imbalance. There really doesn't appear to be a financial incentive for the investment.

Right...holding on to just one side to me considered poor judgement. Blu-ray fans have thought of all sorts of crazy arguments. When the player breaks you will not be able to play any of your hd-dvds is my personal favorite. Well the same applies to blu-ray, it will require some effort and you to go outside and buy a new one! Of course these are going to be sacred by that point and none will be for sale-the rarest commodity. /eye-roll

Nico = joke account confirmed?
You guys are weird. think logically. I get it you support your side and I mine (purple).
"Wal-Mart this week sold out of Toshiba Corp.'s entry level HD DVD Player to online customers.
Walmart.com on Wed. evening held a sold out status of the HD-A3 HD DVD Player. The retailer sells the product for $139.28.
Additionally, the item held a sold out or limited availability status at several Southern California locations..."

This just in, practically giving away a product to uneducated consumers (Wal-Mart, LOL) is not particularly difficult to do.Nicodimas said:

Wal-Mart's obviously huge, I'm merely pointing out that the kind of consumers who are buying high-tech products there are probably the least likely to understand that HD-DVD is a moribund technology.Nicodimas said:
Phew was worried there..Gary. Yea I know as it stands now HD-dvd is dying, but not out. They are doing what they can do. They should be doing a few different areas here and there and that to me is annoying.
They should focus on Walmart/Best Buy/Club Stores with this cheap sku.

I also noticed how at a lot of the big stores now BD is really squeezing out HD-DVD in terms of software shelf space. A while ago at my local Target BD and HD-DVD had roughly the same number of shelves dedicated to each. Last week the ratio was more like 2-1 in favor of BD.Seth C said:

I still can't figure out if his is a joke character or not. I mean, could anybody seriously be that deluded?
I look at the AVS forums, and think it's possible... but then again some of the comments :lol
I think the: "The best part is nobody is going to ask to borrow your shit..." spin was the best part

He may say some silly things, but you all have no right calling him a troll when you all jump all over someone for having the nerve of liking something that isn't a Blu-Ray player. This place really is just a circle jerk.

I call him a troll because I don't thenk he sincerely believes what he says-- that he says it to get a reaction.
Lok at how many people get fished in every time he says something.
If you think it's a circle jerk, why read the thread? That's just stupid. Go make an "HD-DVD news only thread or something. Most people want one clear format, and an awful lot of us didn't really care which.

You have to realize when you present an argument and are on the opposite side you have to look from there side to truly disagree. I see the Blu-rays side and like the argument. I just feel like it falling into a company man sceme. Many people here are becoming defensive which is something I try not to, but do get trapped into as the personal jabs do get old. The overwhelming odds is not always fun, as people like to lash out personally versus presenting facts.
Look below good example of lashing.

Even with the 3:1 average this week that doesn't necessarily mean hd-dvd sold more titles. Blu-ray titles could have simply sold less(no big releases I can think of last week).

Nico is just one of those guys that thinks you need the conflict of two opposing sides to have a "balanced" conversation. It's not a particularly enlightened viewpoint, but I think he's at least genuine in most of his sentiments.
SlaughterX is just a disgruntled HD DVD fan that likes to say "circle jerk".

Thanks Best Buy... I get to bring my receipt for my 40" Sony BRAVIA XBR KDL-40XBR4 back to Best Buy and get another $50 off the TV since it is on sale... and I get the 3 Pack Blu-Ray set for buying a 1080p HDTV deal...
NICE...
This will be the last little savings I can get because it will be a month... NICE!

yeah, well lets see if Toshiba start replenishing stocks on these 'sold out' items. If so, and its a proper reduction in price thats one thing, but if they simply ship their current production run and don't produce anymore, all you'll get is a blip and then they'll be gone.

That's why I just had to simply avoid such things. I'm loving my combo drive for my PC. I can just avoid any drama by picking up the cheapest title for a given format. Or if a title is currently available on only one format, I can pick it up no worries. I'm eying the Bourne Trilogy right about now.SlaughterX said:
