So, i bought myself the hd dvd addon for the 360 today. It cost me next to nothing. I've found quite a few cheap hd dvd's to go with it, but i want more. Does anyone know of any good cheap sites? I guess nationality isn't a problem, they're region free, no?
you know they've discontinued production on hd movies right?
Really? yeah i know.
it was a smart buy. there's plenty of cheap hd dvd movies out there and the quality is pretty much right there with blu ray. not only that, but a lot of hd dvds contain way more extras than blu ray.
yeah, i though i might aswell buy it now that it's dirt cheap and most of the flicks are too. Bluray is still to expensive.
will you be able to write your own media on hd dvds and play them on your xbox?
We bought the HD DVD add on for the 360... because Blondie is right. The quality of movies aren't really that different at all, and you can find TONS of movies cheap. It is a good buy.
We also have a PS3 that we watch Blu Ray's on... And, I'd still rather buy cheaper HD movies than spend alot more on Blu Ray's.
i have neither im guna stick woth regular old dvds and a projector that takes up one whole wall
but are they still making hd DVDs though?
not anymore but the ones still out there are pretty cheap
Actually a good idea man. When I got some cash laying about I may look into doing the same.
Check your pockets man, whatever you find is enough.

i'll take the laser disc player if you want me to.
i dont get it, why would you want an obsolete piece of machinery, you'll eventually buy every single hd dvd ever made, and then what? it's like getting excited about buying a zune, or a tape player. or a 20 inch tv.
Because the difference between Blu Ray and HD aren't that impressive... and the movies are alot cheaper! Let's face it, alot of people LOVE alot of movies that are older. So they can watch all their favorites for at least half the price! HD's aren't shitty.. they just lost the war against Blu Ray.... and eventually Blu Ray will be obsolete and you will have to buy something else again... Hell, you can buy a computer and months later.... they have ALOT better availiable.
Also.. in my case I have kids. I can buy them their favorite movies in HD.. and not worry so much with them handling them.. and using the HD DVD. If it would happen to fuck up.. or break.. I can replace cheaply.
The benefits seem blatently obvious tbh.
yeah. and it's not like you have to choose either or. I'll buy a blu-ray player eventually, they're just too pricey at the moment.
i like the ps3 solution-cheapest bluray player and u have a great system
