Official Support Group for HD DVD / Neutral Members

[tron3]

As some of you recall, though I am the founder of the blu-bloods, I DO take small joking jabs at camp red. However, I am one of the few who actually has respect and sympothy for camp red and the "purple nurples". (Still working on a better name.)

This thread is not for "in your face", or "I told you so" comments. We are here to pat you on the back for a good fight, and encourage you to adopt blu-ray. No one says you have to let go of red, just adopt bd.

Let's gently face facts. Warner and New Line Cinema are going blu-sclusive after May. Universal and Paramount can't be far behind. Seeing how Paramount already did support blu-ray, those technicians must be itching to burn for blu again. Even the retail shelf space is going to dry up soon.

Bear in mind, you don't need to convert all yoru movies to BD. There are still plenty of folks who prefer vynil records, 8-track & cassette tapes, CD, Laserdisc/ VideoDisc, BetaMax and VHS. You can collect HD DVD all you want until you are, umm, ahh, -well, blu in the face.

You can buy an extra player for cheap as a backup. Your money spent wasn't a total loss. You can still enjoy the movies, right? You could probably get a good 10 years of casual use from your machine. 20 with a spare. After that, you probably are willing to just dump it all.

Even I am keeping some family video on VHS for originals sake. Alas, one day the signal will degrade beyond usefulness and will be gone. But we all know the players of the future will only support DVD and blu-ray, not HD DVD.

So, vent your frustrations, tell us your plans, or just pick a shoulder to cry on. We are here, we are blu, and we want you to be too.
