Are you still gonna buy HD-DVDs?

Just picked up three HD DVDs from Amazon (Top Gun, Mallrats and Payback) - at $15 a pop and my free Prime shipping I couldn't pass it up.
Keep the cheap discs coming! I'll keep buying until everyone stops making them.

Why is HDDVD/BD different? Why, for that matter, were VHS/Beta different? Why does the home movie market seem to 'settle' on one major format type, whereas the video game arena supports multiple consoles, with exclusives on each one? If the Xbox had HD built in from the beginning, would that have changed things, and in what way?
my answer: I bought into the hype at almost the beginning of HDDVD, and now have a player I don't use much (no fault of the player, I'm just not as into movies as I used to be). I haven't bought an HDDVD in some time, and my library is infinitesmal. The player is nice, there just aren't a lot of movies I wanted to spend 25 bucks on when I was to DVDs for 15 or less. Were I to get a BD player (cost is the limiting factor now) it'd probably be a PS3 so I could game too. I know there are great prices on HDDVDs now, but I've sort of 'moved on' and am not really interested in many of them.

Although I'm soon to get a PS3, I'm sticking with HD DVD. My only interest in Blu-Ray is for the Disney/Pixar releases. I'll just have to add WB titles to my Blu-Ray purchases once they stop producing HD DVD's.

I'll eventually get a Blu-ray player if need be, but I am an HD-DVD supporter, will continue to buy titles, and love my A2. Best DVD player I've ever purchased.

I'm sticking with HD-DVD as long as they keep making them.
I've invested a lot of money in HD-DVD and with my luck, the second I sold all my discs and my player to go with Blu Ray, HD-DVD would announce that they've bought Disney, Fox, Warner and New Line.

So you owned a HD-DVD player?

Even if MS/TS, inc. folded tomorrow, I'd still own and purchase HD product!
