Way too many crap titles and not nearly enough quality films for my taste, which admittedly is primarily foreign, classic and independent releases. I'm the classic Criterion buyer. So far the most exciting hi def releases to me are Children of Men, Pan's Labyrinth, 2001, Master & Commander, Pride and Prejudice, Goodfellas etc. I could hardly care less about most titles released so far.

But I didn't expect anything else from either camp. The movies I would buy won't sell in huge numbers anyhoot. I'm buying In My Father's Den on German BD - that title won't even be released in SD in the US until next month.

So I still need a BD or HD-DVD player that is region free and will do the PAL>NTSC conversion.
I'm not married to either format. I'm just annoyed that we even have this format war in the first place.

HD DVD seems to have a better, albeit small, collection of classics and more adult oriented movies. BD seems to lean more towards kiddie movies.

An excellent reason to adopt neither format - Jazz Inmate 16:31:25 12/19/07 (0)
Yet people with very similar taste in films have adopted both.
