Well I hang at avs and just about everybody is delighted with the PQ improvement over standard dvds.--All this with just a small handfull of titles,so far. Netflix and others do have and rent these HD titles. Anybody just a little bit cautious might want to wait for the combo player-(if and when it gets here). BD doesn't arrive till Nov. but I've seen mention of its coming in ads for upcoming titles. Then there is the audio side of these players.It seems the new audio to go with; seems to be lagging in the first titles.
So how's it going with HD DVD?
So every time I go past the HD dvd display at Best Buy, It seems like there's cobwebs on the dvd display and stacks of players!...which don't seem to be moving!!
My first impression is that I don't think most anyone knows nor cares about the whole format. Probably doesn't help that most people have small displays/monitors anyway, and are perfectly happy to keep there noses put in the DVD section.
Anyone else here get that same impression? My worst concern here is that the whole HD dvd upgrade thing falls flat on it's face, and we end up where SACD/DVD awareness is, having most everyone still buying marketed standard cd's!
Does anyone else here get the feeling HD DVD will be like what Laser disc and then D-VHS was, niche market formats that few knew even existed?
