The Turtles Can't Save HD DVD!! - Blu-ray Forum

Amazon:

TMNT:

Blu-ray #68
HD-DVD #215

A minor point I know, and yes, I know its a combo for hd-dvd, but still.

Why does warner put those combo discs out again?

warner puts them out so they don't have to answer to all the po'd people who pick up hd dvd instead of dvd, its very misleading. and TMNT is one of the biggest a$$ kicking ive ever seen. we will be called "immature" by hd dvd fans for it though.

Yes it's a combo DVD/HD-DVD Disc for hd-dvd. I just checked to make sure.

I honestly have no idea why they keep doing the combos. I have never talked to a single person who has picked one up as a "futureproofing"

They see $5 more that the Blu, that's already $5 more than the DVD and it's "screw that"

I stopped at NFM tonight to pick up TMNT on DVD for my sister's kids because it was $12.99. I bought Disturbia on Blu-ray for $29.77, which I didn't think was too bad of a price. The TMNT Blu-ray was the same and then I happened upon the TMNT HD DVD. I knew it was more expensive, $5.00 more infact, but just seeing $34.77 price tag just kind of shocked me. I know it is only $5 more but the perception of it makes it seem way more.

Spielberg can, oh wait that's right Graffeo had to retract his statement and make an apology to him. Damn, I guess NOTHING can now.

combo packaging dvds with hd-dud's, unbelievable. i was no marketing major in college, but that sounds like the dumbest thing one could do. why would you charge regular dvd buyers more for something they can't use and then saddle hd-dud owners with another disc that they don't need?

You can buy it on regular DVD without the HD-DVD. Just when you buy the HD-DVD you get a tag-along DVD version.

Just on a note, i have an hd player and i think its retarded to have combo discs, like i would watch it on anything other than hd, and i certainatly would not let my kids handle a 35 dollar disc to watch the dvd version, needless to say for five bucks more, you can bet you'll always see the blu version in my cart!

D1-2005, nice avatar of Mushroomhead, their new cd kicks serious ass.

its not a stupid idea. If you travel somewhere where you dont bring your hd-dvd player with you or you take the movie to a friends house and they dont have hd-dvd you could use the same disc.

D1-2005 · 08-08-2007, 03:15 PM

its just my opinion of what works for me, as i never watch movies other than at home. im sure theres alot of people who like it, as they probably wouldn't make it if there wasn't.
