Wal-mart has announced they will be eclusively BD as well. Basically HD DVD is dead in the water now. Oh well I will enjoy my HD DVD’s for now and will gobble up some cheap-o HD’s at the store.
I was in Fry’s (Houston) on Monday and noticed that all the HD-DVD movies were about $10 cheaper than the BD ones..
I, for one, will not be rushing out to buy a BD player. I bought into HD DVD knowing full well they would probably lose the war. But the players are so cheap, it made getting into HD media easy (I even bought a backup player). Once BD players and media become affordable (if they ever do), I will get a BD player. I, too will probably snag the few remaining HD discs I want as they start going on sale. I am not interested in buying into the current BD players. I have enough on HD DVD to keep me busy for awhile.
I would advise buying two or three spare players and store them away for when yours craps out.
will dvd’s that aren’t “blue ray” play on a blue ray player?..I know that’s a silly question, but I really don’t know much about the technology. I’ve still got a hd-dvd player in a box that I bought last year, that is a dvd-recorder as well.
