I wanted to ask this question before the products started showing up on the US market.
So, what DVD format do you think will win this war.

Blu-Ray
or
HD-DVD
or
Both

Now your wondering why I put "both" well read this

HD-DVD. Sony's Blue Ray won't win just cause its more expensive.

What about, "Do not care" option.

I want the best one damn it...I don't want the VHS of disk.

well considering the PS3 i will be getting will have a blu-ray in it i don't think buying a new hd dvd would be that expensive if they end up making it instead .... so either way i think i'm covered

I as well will be PS3 so Blu-Ray for me, but I really don't care about HD DVD thing... :roll:

I'm afraid that, as a washington state citizen, I am obligated to support the HD-DVD format.

All I have to say is Sony can suck my ****, I will never, never buy any product that has a Sony name on it.

Is there really that much of a noticeable difference between DVDs and HD DVDs as far as picture quality and such of movies?

Where is the "these words are all greek to me" option? :lol:

I don't care. Give them a 1 yr or so and prices would drop and everybody would have it.

I second that sentiment quisp. Sony has some of the worse customer service on the planet.

I bought a camera from them once and barely used it for a year. My luck would have it-of course-it breaks a week after the warranty expires. I think i've only used the camera 4-5 times before that. I called Sony's customer care and asked them if they can help out a long time Sony customer. ( I literally added up all the sony product i had in my house and it was close to $15K. I had TVs, cameras, playstations, computers, laptops, clock, etc.)
To make a long story short, they told me that I had to pay $250 to them to ATTEMPT to fix unit. I tried reasoning with them that I could buy the same new camera at Best Buy for $175.00.

"Policy is policy," the Sony rep answered.

"Can I speak to a supervisor, " said I.

"I am the supervisor," said the rep.

Well, I haven't bought a single sony product since this happened to me 3 years ago. Screw them.

I do have a happier customer service story to tell you folks. I recently bought a Dyson vacuum; it costs about $600.00. It recently brought after 6 months of use. I called Dyson's customer care and they offered to refund the money to me and send me a replacement unit for free.

I just got my free $600.00 vacuum the other day and the $600.00 check is in the mail. Dyson ROCKS!

Ok, it's bed time.

Ciao.

After spending a few years converting my modest VHS collection to DVD, I'm not switching format this soon. I might have an HDTV someday, but it won't be so big that I'm going to notice the lesser DVD format vs the HDDVD or BLU-RAY formats.

I've seen regular DVD on an HDTV and it doesn't look that bad. I'm not so sure if I need to be distracted by the dirty pores on an actors face. I think there are really only a handful of movies that will benefit from this format, and "A Knight's Tale" sure as hell isn't one of them.
