Reputation: 48 ![]() Rep Power: 4 | for those who had already bought HD-DVD player and do not want to spend another $300 on a BD player in the near future. Even if the studios no longer support HD-DVD, wouldnt it be nice if you can watch newer release with your HD-DVD player? get the content in Blue-Ray, convert it to HD-DVD and sell them to those still sticking with HD-DVD.

Is it not the same concept? Only difference is that VHS and VCDs were still used (not a dead format). Plus, what are you gonna do when no one makes the discs? I don't really see fresh supplies of Betamax tapes...

which makes them much more similar to HD-DVD and Bluray. Anyway, nobody is going to be copying HD-DVD to Bluray, unless they really want to import their library to the other format. And speaking of VHS', I really shouldnt have bought more than I needed. I still have a dozen of them lying in my basement QQ | |
