Everytime i meet anyone who has HD DVD, wether they are a friend of a friend or I talk to them randomly in a Best Buy, they are completely clueless about anything related to the format war. In stores they are usually looking for titles on HD DVD that are Blu exclusive. I even met one of my friend's friends who believed HD DVD upconverts DVDs but Blu-ray doesnt and HD DVD can do 1080p but Blu-ray cant.

As I have said many times before, when I was considering buying one of the Hi-Def formats almost a year ago I wanted to get HD DVD. They had more titles that I would have enjoyed at the time. But I took 10 min out of my day to google both formats and learned HD DVD only had one studio Blu-ray didnt (Universal), but Blu-ray had an insane amount of studios over HD DVD.

At first I didn't understand why anyone would buy HD DVD with only one exclusive studio and give up Fox/MGM, Sony, Dinsey/Buena Vista/Mirimax, and Lionsgate in exchange for Universal.

After meeting a few HD DVD owners I have come to the conclusion that most people who buy into HD DVD are completely misinformed or not informed at all. Honestly, who would buy a format with one exclusive studio!?

Now they have Paramount, but it's still a no brainer IMO. I sort of understand someone buying HD DVD now that it has 2 exclusive studios, although I still dont think its a good idea. But anyone who bought into HD DVD when all they had was Universal is pure stupid or to lazy to google the formats before he leaped into one.
