I think he meant buy the HD DVD and make a blu-ray version to watch.

Yeah. Well, Paramount really is going to unleash a storm in that area, I think.

Let me show you a bootleggers showroom

In the past week we've seen people say there are BD-R ready images of ported HD DVDs on the torrents. And Future Shop here was selling BD-R for $8. Which means they are probably $5 in big quantity.

HD DVD -> BD is easy, in fact the tools are available
BD -> HD DVD requires a re-encode.

P.S. Let me be clear: I'm severely against piracy.

Ahh yes but in Canada (unlike USA) backing up an HD DVD you own to a Blu-ray disc is not piracy...

Well ok it's not in the USA either, but it IS criminal hacking...
