Why in the hell would you buy a HD-DVD combo when you know no one would watch the DVD side! That is just LAME!

EXACTLY if i want DVD i would just get the DVD if you know you are going to watch a HD DVD movie over someone's house that does not have a HD DVD player what's the point.

or better yet if you know you have only a single
HD DVD player in your whole house but more than a few DVD players that is the only point in a flipper DISC if you buy the HD DVD movie with the DVD flipper is so you can take that same movie and watch it on a DVD player other than the HD DVD player.

So once again how does that help with the extra features on the HD DVD side it does not. so you still end up watching a movie with the same as IF YOU WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE DVD except for the one player in your house. unless you buy more than one HD DVD player anyway.

even MOVIE BUFF's have how manyDVD players ARE in their house...?
what about J6P maybe HOW many DVD player does J6P have....

does The HD DVD promotional group realy think that J6P is going to OUTFIT their house more than (1) HD MOVIE PLAYER unless that movie player gets below $100.00 more like below $50.00 anyway....not to many people i know have more than (2) DVD players anyway if you count a game system that would be (3) maybe (4) depending on kids. its mainly family room and parents bed room. with the older kids haveing their own but that is mainly a game system anyway.

flipper disc's are a waste of money in my OPINION unless each room in you house has a HDTV,AND A HD DVD player to get the most out of it above STANDARD DVD.
