Does HD DVD have a Presence in New Zeland?

Ive only seen few players... I went to a home theater store in a city close by and they were running everything on HD DVD yet when i asked for a demo it was the worst display and sound Ive ever heard then i thought "wait a minute... the 5th element is Blu exclusive!" they were showing me a SD DVD on there system i laughed and walked out

Unfortunately here in the US we have the same problem. Sales reps. seem to be either deceptive or oblivious.

Yea very sad... One of my friends works at a store and he is trying to organize a free movie promotion with the purchase of Players - Sony has said they will reimburse his store for the titles - so this is also good news for NZ if only more stores would take the initiative.

Last month I purchased a new Sony TV, and recieved a free Sony BDP-S300 Blu-ray player. This scheme is running nationwide in NZ through to the end of December on selected Sony TV's. Back in June Sony were also offering a free Playstation 3's with selected Sony TV's.

So Sony NZ have been very active in promoting Blu-Ray

Word.

A friend works at JB HiFi in queen street and was impressed on how well 300 on blu-ray sold. Just checked out the JB Hi Fi in albany and they had 3 screens all playing Blu.

Unfortunately though theyve started stocking HDDVD.... Heroes, Hot Fuzz and some other old films.

I think a standalone HDDVD still costs nz$1500. Pretty crazy.
