Hey guys,

just wondering what your stand point to total hd discs. would it be a good idea, or bad?

since paramount decided to join the other side, i bet more consumers would stand aside until one format wins the war. it isn't healthy for business, having more reasons for consumers to get confused. before paramount took a side, BD sales were excellent beating HD DVDs life support. now we don't know how things are going to turn out until paramount start releasing exclusively on HD DVD. with that being said can't BD and HDDVD coexist together the idea is possible, and there would be some benefits from it. for example:

1) you wouldn't have to worry about studio exclusivity issue anymore.
2) consumers wouldn't and shouldn't be confused, knowing that they don't have a adopt a certain format.

but then I don't know many negative aspects, but i do know for sure maybe that it could affect the capacity on BD. being that warner bros were able to develop a 25 gb side for both hd and bd. and also dealing with the stupid double sided discs.

with that being said i am interested to know where each individual on this forum stands.
