HD Format Wars = Over!

Cool, it's like saying "F*** you" to everyone who bought an HD-DVD player and HD-DVDs. Totally kick ass, if stores wanted to make any some cash off this they'd offer discounts to people who traded in HD-DVD stuff for discounts on blu-ray.

It was really unavoidable. To me that's a key reason not to have invested in either format until now. In the 80s my family actually had a Beta player.. no way would I have chanced picking the losing side again (not that the financial investment meant anything to me back then, but it was really annoying to have pretty much seen every single Children's Beta tape available at the video rental store).

Damn...I like my HD DVDs. Oh well. It was only a matter of time, I guess...

Well it's not like their worthless. If you have a player since the disks are going out or production you can buy up some clearance HD-DVDs. I'm sure in the coming month they will be selling HD-DVDs for 50% or more off till their gone. You got the gear already might as well make use of it. The quality is just as good as Blu-ray, this way you don't need to re-buy movies.

This is exactly what I'm waiting for. I'm actually kinda glad it was HD-DVD that went down the tubes, because at the moment their selection of movies is a lot more interesting to me. Can't wait for those price-drops!

It's tempting to go out and buy an HD player*As I'm sure these will drop as well in price* and grab me a stock load of flicks. Sad to say though I don't have any spare cash at the moment.
