Well you could not choose a better time to join!

Now that WB has announced they are going Blu-ray exclusive, as well as New Line, there will be more Blu-ray discs than ever. In fact, the writing is on the wall and in giant bold letters for HD DVD, it can no longer win against Blu-ray.

Welcome to the forums. Glad to have you here. Hope you can find all the help you need here.

I initially supported Blu-ray due to it's association with PS3 (before it even launched).

When I was ready to buy, HD-DVD was clearly the superior format.

I had 4-5 months with HD-DVD, but last Christmas (12 months back) it was clear the tide had turned and Blu-ray was at last fulfilling it's potential, so I switched back.

I would hope most owners chose their format due to industry support and superior quality, not some fanboy nonsence.

Some just needed a little more persuassion to make the switch.

This war isn't even about Superior versus Inferior product anymore.

It's all about enjoying the movies you want in HD now.

Which we all know at this point, Blu is where the movies are at.

Later this year or so, Blu will be all there is to hdm.

"Bought blu ray player. I feel I am betraying HD DVD"

Widows often feel that way when they start dating again. I'm not denying the importance of what you two had, but you have to put the past aside and start living for yourself...


Welcome, I hope you enjoy your Blu-ray player, you made some excellent choices of movies

You are betraying HD DVD. You're also doing the right thing. We welcome you in joining us here on blu-ray.com as we witness the end of the format war. I also invite other HD DVD supporters to abandon their hopeless format and side with us as we deliver the final crushing blows.

LOL! Welcome to the Darkside! Betraying HD-DVD is always a good thing because they stink! And how can you regret betraying them when they're going downhill and won't exist in the future.

well I still need to keep the HD DVD for Uni and Paramount

I mean HD DVD does have some good movies. but with the Warner switch blu ray will have too many exclusive.

I am a big warner movies fan. I have no choice
