i have a 360. i've had it since day one.
i also happen to have a ps3. i play both systems. oh, i have a wii as well.
never have i bashed on the 360, even when i got the rrod. sent it in, got it back, was good to go ever since.
but what we are talking about here is a disc format, not games. its very obvious that hd-dvd is dying since everything that happened around CES. i never said microsoft would never make a blu-ray add on. it just doesn't make sense to me to spend money on a dying format, just because its cheap. i'm not sure that worked out for people when laser discs went outta style. its better off waiting for the format wars to finish for sure, then get those movies you really want on one format, instead of buying the movies you want on hd-dvd now because they are cheap, and then having to buy them AGAIN on the chosen format that wins.
good job on making assumptionsbecause you failed.
and you arent making assumptions about hd dvd right?Originally Posted by presequel

Well in that case, let me pop in my Batman Begins Blu-ray... Whoops! No Batman Blu-ray yet...
That appears to be on the verge of changing, however, following Warner's seismic shift late last week to Blu-ray exclusivity. Speaking with High-Def Digest, Tsujishara stated that the studio is preparing several Profile 1.1 titles --specifically the library of nearly a dozen Warner titles previously released on HD DVD that used that format's HDi technology to deliver the studio's "In Movie Experience" picture-in-picture video commentary and other interactive features.
"We held off releasing them on Blu-ray because we wanted to be able to have the full interactivity," said Tsujishara. "At this point in time, we're still working out all the kinks [with the technology], but they will be released soon.
Two titles specifically cited by Tsujishara as being prepped for Blu-ray release were 'Batman Begins,' and the blockbuster 'Matrix' trilogy, although he stopped short of naming actual street dates."
So it's coming soon. Yes, its not out now. Its not a title that won't ever be available for blu-ray......because its coming soon. But, ifyou want The Dark Knight when it releases on a format around Christmas (just guessing on that date since its coming out in the summer).......it will be blu-rayonly, not hd.and you arent making assumptions about hd dvd right?
well, i most certainly am. but my assumptions are based of numerous reports and opinions from tv, internet, blogs etc. Also based off real worldsales numbers and major movie studies becoming blu-ray exclusive or just backing them period.
the assumption the poster made about me was based off one line. so, they're not even close to being the same. I didn't even have the ps3 nba2k8 leaguein my sig, so I don't even know why he assumed I was a Sony guy. I'm not, I just own the system. I'm a casual gamer so it doesn't really matterto me who 'wins'. I have all 3 systems, why would I care?
And once again, Sony did not invent nor does it own Blu-Ray, it was developed and is owned by the Blu-ray Disc Association. There are many companies involvedhere, not the least of which are Sony, Apple, Dell, HP, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, LG, Samsung, etc., etc. They did not develop it like 'betamax' or'md', its entirely different. People get really confused and assume Sony invented it because they were the first with a blu-ray player and are a majorplayer in this format war. Its true that Sony has alot to gain if blu-ray wins, but they did not 'invent' it.
That last part was not towards u Noblekane, btw.
So, anyways, it just seems very unlikely at this stage for HD-DVD to succeed. Is it possible? Sure, anything can happen. But the chances right now are veryslim with the way things have been going for them. But if you want to go out and buy the player, by all means go ahead since its price is really low now, butdon't complain if later down the line if the format is no longer supported with new content. The warning signs are here now.
Anyways, this is a 360 thread. I'm not trying to bring 'hate' or 'ps3 love' or whatever it may be. If its wrong to support both systemsthen oops

Yes, yes, yes... I never said you were wrong.. I was just stating that there are HD DVD's out now you cannot get on Blu-ray... The original questionwas if it was a great deal... Obviously it is... HD content > no HD content... Why can't you buy both? Is there some law you cannot have them both? Isit a faux pas? No! What I was stating is that you can build a nice collection of HD content for a fraction of what Blu-ray will cost you... Even if the formatfails, you still have your movies... Granted unless your HD drive fails...
