buying the HD-DVD disc will hurt you slightly in the long run, they aren't as protective as blu-ray discs and the players are phased out, one day they might not be able to be played ever again, unless you have multiple HD-DVD players lying around.

that's my rant anyway

Who's to say the next format won't be memory cards and won't be able to play blu-ray? I have a ton of VHS tapes still at the house that were purchased when VHS was alive and well.....

I was walking in a Zellers near my house and saw a brand new Transformers HD-DVD for $3 lol

Never bought one. My dad did, even after I told him that blu-ray would win the format war. Now he's stuck using his HD-DVD player solely as an upconverter.

I got a HD DVD player for €10 (the 360 addon), and I get whatever is on HD DVD that has same specs as the BD, I mean the difference between £2 - £7 and £17+ is a lot for me.

I'll still buy HD-DVDs, but no more combo discs. Most of them skip about an hour or so into the movie.
