HD-DVD will come out in both America and Japan in 2005. True titles will be slow at first but they will grow. No doubt that SD-DVD will not last forever. HD-DVD will eventually replace it. Also I garuntee that Star Wars 30th anniversery will be avaible on HD-DVD.


Tell that to the executives. Hardly anyone wants to go ahead with HD-DVD. And why should they? DVD is their biggest money-maker.

Blu-Ray on the other hand...


Same could be said about VHS in 1996. People could have said VHS is fine for people now and DVD will be a niche. HD-DVD has everything that made DVD successful. Its cheap, its vastly vastly superior, it just makes sense.


Did you even read what I said? I explained the reasons why HD-DVD will just be a passing fad and the differences it between it and DVDs takeover of VHS. Oh, and..

It's not cheap, it's superior depending on the source and way it's mastered, and it doesn't quite make sense...

Yes... what's your point? AFAIK they're two different products.
