  1. Comment - Netflix to officially phase out HD DVD on December 15

    (Nov 14, 2008 - 4:17 PM)

    HD-DVDs are more susceptible to scratches than Blu-Ray so used HD-DVDs won't be much of a bargain if they are scratched. HD-DVD by market economics should have won being the lower priced format as far as machines and studio production goes. Second tier film studios are having a difficult time breaking into Blu-Ray because of the entry costs whereas HD-DVD was much easier to get into. BD players still are high in price and the movie selection limited. It may well be a failed platform. And yes I recently began picking up a few titles for my HD-DVD player that were announced for re-release on BD and then pulled (Children of Men for one).
