In Reply to: Amazon currently has many HD-DVD titles for 50% off posted by Christine Tham on February 24, 2008 at 00:06:37:
That's what makes me hesitate to play. $15/disc is not that good a bargain; especially since you can often get Blu-ray discs at the same price.
I won't get the HD DVD MI series simply because there are no lossless audio tracks. I imagine it will eventually re-encoded on Blu-ray with lossless/uncompressed audio. The TOS series I'm considering simply because I'm not sure when Paramount will re-release on Blu-ray (if ever). And when they, do it will sure to be "specially priced".
