Why Columbia House will help HD-DVD over Blu-ray

Why Columbia House will help HD-DVD over Blu-ray



I'm format neutral. I like both and have both. But this will be a advantage for HD-DVD.

Columbia House in the next month will start rolling out there HD titles

two titles are now availible

300 and Blades Of Glory



they will be carrying on

HD-DVD

Warner
Universal
Paramount
Weinstein Company

Blu-ray

Warner
Paramount
Sony-owned Columbia Tri-Star

But there will be no Fox, also as far as I know no MGM titles by Fox either
And no Disney or Buena Vista Home Entertainment

So what does that mean almost all HD-DVD title will be available while less then half will be available on Blu-ray.

Once the online crowd see's that option don't be surprised if the tilt goes toward HD-DVD.

People my age use columbia house like crazy.

Your analysis makes sense to me! You must be some kind of rocket scientist or something to figure this stuff out! I think Heroes Season 1 will be a huge seller. It will be available only on HD-DVD. That will cause a whole bunch more of the HD-players to be sold!

I recently bought a HD-DVD player (the only HD player I could afford for the time being) in anticipation of CH finally carrying HD. I would be very happy if this was true as I'm hoping to get as many HD-DVD titles as CH will carry. Blu-ray, I hope to get into when their players are more affordable. Still, on the Blu-ray end, I would have liked to pick up some Sony (Casino Royale, Rocky Balboa) and Buena Vista (Pirates of the Caribbean) but sadly, they will not be available through CH it appears.

Don't be a jerk. What he says makes sense.
