Question, how am I going to do next? The money that I and other people spent is going to be wasted. What will I do with the HD-DVDs?

Another question is, why WB is still going to have some movies in HD format because later on, after May, they are going to have only Blu-ray format.
Do they expect people to buy HD movies since they are leaving HD to go to Blu-ray exclusively.

Why don't both format stay in the market? If you like Universal movies then buy HD-DVD player? If you like Disney movies then buy Blu-ray player.
Low down the price of both format player then all consumers can affort to have both format players at home.

Don't get me wrong, I have about 40 Blu-ray movies and about 15 HD-DVD movies.
I love blu-ray, if there are both format of the movie I like, I picked Blu-ray.

***** Another thing is why you have PS3 and Xbox360 even they both play the same game and can't have Blu-ray and HD-DVD.*****

Trust me, sell off your HD-DVD equipment and movies before they become obsolete and nobody will buy them!

Two movie formats cannot co-exist, and this has been reinforced especially by retailers who are now pushing to get rid of HD-DVD.
