I’m sitting on the fence to wait for a winner of this HD format war and have been keeping up with it ever since the new was first reported. We have seen and read all of the pros and cons about both format’s disc and players and pretty much have an idea which we would choose if we had to decide right now. Most of you would choose HD DVD because it is cheaper and looks the same as Blu-ray. If that was the case, than HD DVD should have been if not declared the early winner, but winning across the board. That is not the case. Blu-ray is more expensive than HD DVD but their disc capacity is larger but they are not using it to it’s full capacity as promised when this all first started. However, Blu-ray is still in the game and this bit of news does not seem a big blow to lots of people, but it is at least a nail in the HD DVD format’s coffin. Those of you who like NetFlix better than Blockbuster and is happy that they are still carrying both formats, let’s see how happy you will continue to be when they stop getting HD DVD titles that the HD DVD camp indicated last week that they will be slowing in making those along with changing the reported of number of HD DVD players that would be sold from 1.8 million to almost 1 million EVEN after they dropped the price of their Toshiba players. Apparently customers are not buying up the cheap stuff for fear that they would loose and have to buy the other’s winning format items.
