Fact is, it seems HD DVD has the extras and Blu-ray doesn't? Being able to play both formats, why would someone want to buy the blu-ray version?

Cheaper, want to have it in a format that has a better chance of survival. Besides some people dont care for extra's, such as myself, so why would I bother buying it in hd dvd. Just my point of view.

For $4 more, I'd rather have the option of the extra features and I can play it anywhere. I don't need my HD DVD player for it.

And let's be real - if the Blu-ray version had the extra features, people here would be using that to their benefit as well.

I wouldnt care if it had extra features, if people go that route look at Face/Off and how the Blu ray is going to have extra features and the hd dvd won't, big flipping deal, just give me the movie.

Off topic . . . but did you join the Blu-ray forum and get surprised by the fact that people don't prefer HDDVD? And have you dedicated yourself to posting in every single thread picking apart every comment and spinning it toward HDDVD? If that's the case, you have a lot of work ahead of you . . .

After coming over here from Hidef digest I notice theres a lot of people that just like to start arguements for the fun of it, but some do it within reason, at least he's doing it within reason.

Just to let you know, for $4 more you won't be able to play the features anywhere. The extra features on divided up onto both sides of the disc, thus half of the extras are only accessible via an HD-DVD player.

Why would you want to watch it in SD when you already watched it in HD ?

Why buy it at all if you are only going to watch it once?

I've never seen it. I'm sure I'll watch it a second time. And I'll be able to take it with me and watch it elsewhere.

I meant ...watch it in SD when you have seen it in HD !!!
Wouldn't that be a bit backwards? Wouldn't it bother you ?

oh.. yeah, but you may want to see it again. How about in the car? Kids might want to watch it while you watch something on your TV.

Point is, HD DVD is going to be around for a LONG time coming.

There really is very little GOOD news for HD DVD these days . . . and 300 won't be any different.

This girl finally got sniffed out and was rightfully banned by the mods. Thanks for saving us any further waste of time...

Speaking of features (and I think I'm probably not alone on this one) but I just popped in Black Hawk Down and looked at the Blu Wizard thing with the special features that you could customize for maximum enjoyment . . . looked at it for about two seconds, decided I couldn't possibly care less, and just started watching the movie. Pretty much the same thing I'll do with PIP.

Many people are very vocal about the fact that features are not the determining factor. If the special features were available on Blu, I guess that could be considered a plus, but really, nobody would care. People care more about higher bit rate encoding and uncompressed audio.
