Sure . . .

And I would like to be 30 again.

Not much chance of either of those happening though.

They do make nice upscalers though.

Just seen this articule...

Who knows?...

All I would like is for Toshiba to add a dual format player in the future so I can still watch all my old HD-DVDs.

When Toshiba announced recently that they were going to finally make blu-ray players, that in essence was the final chapter of the HD-DVD saga. They basically threw in the towel.

Toshiba fought the good fight to produce a simpler and low cost way for high-def discs, but was overpowered by the big fish in electronics and video.

HD DVD could actually become a niche market based on the scarcity of the related machines,and media. In addition to the PQ, if there were limited edition discs like the one referenced a few posts above ,and more popular releases ,it could become a millenium Model T....

It will have to take a lot of support ,which at this point is questionable. but since i have an A2,i'm hopeful...

Super XP · 09-20-2009, 08:35 AM

Sure, why not have the better format come back.

HD-DVD is like the Brooklyn Dodgers, on an extended road trip.

There is certainly no scarcity as far as any US domestic HD DVD release I own. I don't believe the market price is above $5 for any of the over 300 single disc titles I own. Most sell for around $3 now, hardly an indication of scarcity.

Working players will eventually become very scare though.

I hope HD DVD players become scarce and valuable. I am ready to cash in. I am tired of losing money on this stuff. You guys got your wish, there is an exclusive upcoming HD DVD release, "Deadlands 2: The Trapped".

I would settle for BD players using HDi instead of BD-Java.

Why did you invest in HD DVD to begin with? Most of us just bought the movies and the players to keep, not to cash in later. What movies and players cost today compared to what we paid for them are irrelevent, IF they were purchased to use/own indefinitely. Then all that matters is if you thought the HD DVDs were worth the money at the time of purchase, and they were to me (even accounting for the risk of the format war).
