Will you purchase THD discs - Blu-ray Forum

GTP · 01-30-2007, 11:16 AM

Simple question....assuming added cost over current street pricing of BD software...will you purchase THD discs....knowing they will drag the format war on even longer, and cost more?

Yes

No

Zinn · 01-30-2007, 11:22 AM

Never, I'd rather wait untill HD DVD dies.

KenThompson · 01-30-2007, 11:44 AM

Hate flippers. Don't want anything to do with hd dvd. They probably don't want them either.

Josh · 01-30-2007, 11:45 AM

1) I hate flippers.

2) I hate paying for something I won't use (HD DVD side).

SIGEP422 · 01-30-2007, 11:49 AM

Hell no......die HD DVD

KenThompson · 01-30-2007, 11:50 AM

This thread needs to be a sticky so we can load it up. Send it to Warner to show them our disgust at their lumping us in with the enemy.

frankc4s · 01-30-2007, 12:00 PM

Wont buy!!!

Jodi · 01-30-2007, 12:36 PM

Thanks but NO thanks!!

Hell NO. This THD is only feeding the longevity for two formats. It is without the dumbest venture that WB has ever commited to. Plus I would love to just start boycotting WB titles, due to the lack of support to BD. However, money talks. So I don't want WB to think there is no interest in BD. Not that one buyer would make a difference.

blitz6speed · 01-30-2007, 12:38 PM

Warner will not see another penny once TrueHD is out. When its back to standard blu-ray movies, they will begin getting purchases again.

GTP · 01-30-2007, 12:39 PM

They can use THD only for LOTR EE, Matrix triliogy, and even the upcoming 300......and I still will not buy a single THD disc.

I thought that forcing sd dvd flippers was bad as it was.....but THD to me is on par with bad ideas like the original Divx.

I really hate the idea that a studio like Warner thinks they can force us into purchasing their idiotic and greedy ideas for selling HD software.....and I am not a hater in general.

Warner needs to get a clue.....and fast.

JTK · 01-30-2007, 01:58 PM

Nope.

dialog_gvf · 01-30-2007, 02:03 PM

Assuming added cost? No way.

Warner can't add a totally useless side of a disc and then expect me to PAY for that. That would be lunacy.

I don't hate flippies. If the cost was the same, then I would choose on a case by case basis.

Even if there isn't extra cost, we're back to that "prolonging the format war " theme again.

phranctoast · 01-30-2007, 02:15 PM

I just dont want to lose anything on the transfer because of this. If we cant see BR-50's because we're forced to have an hddvd on one side, Ill be pissed. I dont want to lose the HD sound and the best picture just so hddvd could stay around for a little less time......

I'd like to see the stray "yes" people at least post and tell us why, if they felt like it.

GoldenRedux · 01-30-2007, 02:31 PM

I hate flipper discs, I hate dual format discs, and do we even know that these things will play properly in all of our players? Just like I avoided DualDiscs like they were the second coming of the Bubonic plague, I will avoid THD discs. Warner will not get a single penny from me for one of these discs.

At risk of getting crucified here, I would buy THD if that is the only option. I want movies in HD, period. If Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter or Matrix were available only on THD, then so be it because I'm a fan of the movies first, a fan of the format second. But if there is a BD side and an HD side, I can guarantee you that the BD side is what will get used, mainly because of likely superior sound, and niceties like resume play and time skip on my Panasonic player-- two features that are lacking on the Toshiba HD DVD players.

Besides, there's no guarantee that either format will succeed in the long run. If either/both formats should die prematurely, I want a vast library built up.
