Harry Potter 1-4 Blu-ray vs HD DVD question

Are the extras on the Blu-ray versions in HD as opposed to SD for the HD DVD like on Harry Potter 5?

Nope. I believe 1-4 on both formats are EXACTLY the same. The only difference is HP5.

There's a thread dedicated to it, but basically -

HD-DVD Version has IME and Online features, but is missing a fluff documentary and several bonus features are in SD only.

Blu-Ray version has an additional fluff documentary and all bonus features are in HD. No IME/Online Features.

I'm getting both BD and HD-DVD, and trading 4+5 BD and 1-3 HD-DVD (I'm paying $83 for each set).

If there's no differences between 1-3 and you're determined to have 4 and 5 on HD DVD, why wouldn't you just stick with the HD DVD set?

Because 1-3's extras are SD in HD-DVD and HD in BD.

BTW is the extra documentary on just 1 of them or all of them? In which one? Thanks!

I dont think they are in their own cases though like buying them separately. Someone correct me if Im wrong. How can you trade them?

They're not... I agree, they'll be pretty hard to trade.

Why you guys/gals want the on-line feature? Isn't better w/o it?

Anyhow, GatorDeb, your scheme is complicated, but to each of his/her own...

more not necessarily means better, do you perfer lengthy movies like LotR on one disc or two discs (of course, the contents are same, i.e. PQ, sounds, extras etc.)? Anyhow, again, to each of his/her own, but IMO, the on-line feature is a "bug" more than a feature.

Actually, the extras on 1-3 are in SD on both formats.
