HD DVD getting marketed finally ?

[Jon Lai]

I just dont know man, Im thinking about selling off my 360 add on. Not too many of those titles interest me (at least enough to buy) and I was looking forward to Children of Men, but not at a $55 price tag! You know Im really getting sick of these combo packages! I just dont get it, why force the customer to have to buy the combo? I mean really, how many people really care for the SD-DVD if they have a HD drive? Uhh hello thats why we bought the HD drive to begin with! Waste of money. And I have a feeling this combo crap wont stop, if anything get worse. If thats the case, the HDDVD is gone for me.

Good choice. You're better off getting a PS3 anyways

most of this conversation should be moved into the format war thread...

and speaking of mistakes, looks like Children of Men is not playing properly on a lot of XBox360 add on drives, and even some stand alones.... oops!

I purchased COM from amazon, and it's nowhere close to $55. not even $35.

Universal is re-releasing combo as single side HD-DVD. but I do think combo is helpful to some users, who might want to watch the movie on the move or maybe lend the disc to his friend who only has dvd player. Of course $10 difference is too much for a SD side.

I'm glad they're making single sided as well. I'd buy single for a few bucks less, but a combo option is great, for kids movies, or people who want to play their disks here and there.

I vote for seeing majority in stores as singles, with 1 or two combos for each title (or no combo if it's not really that type of movie, ie, not kids).
