#26
Where's the >200 option.
Somehow, I always seem to be just in reach of GizmoDVD's amount of HD DVDs. I think he shops where I do.
I have around 221.

I currently have 45. The only one I still want is The Elephant Man import, so the number definitely won't get much higher. I'll eventually replace a few (2001, The Searchers, Road Warrior, Dog Day Afternoon) with the Blu version.
My HD-DVD player is actually in storage, so I haven't watched one in a while.

36 releases. The only thing I've gotten recently is Star Trek: Season 1; still looking for deals on Casablanca, Forbidden Planet, the Cowboys and the Getaway (the prices actually increased substantially on all four recently).
I don't go out buying movies I don't care to watch, so the huge price cuts on some studios titles wasn't very interesting to me. Come onnnn, WB!

You'd have to look way back but incidents like extremely low pricing and running down to a local B&M to take advantage of it before they pull the prices, mispricing The Matrix Complete Collection for $19.99, Discovery Channel store's low pricing on a few items a few months ago, stuff like that.
I remember most people, even myself, saying there was no way in hell HD DVDs were going to get below $7 a piece, and I can't remember who on this forum, but he received a lot of flack from saying he was holding out until they were under $7.
I'm eatin' crow. But it tastes good, baby.
THEEK, stay on board with inetvideo. You should be able to get a ton of titles for cheap. If they get WB titles, you'll score well.

33 plus Star Trek Season 1 (10 discs) and Heroes Season 1 (7 discs), so that makes 50 discs even. Most were 10 bucks and under (including the free ones), and I have no intention of replacing any with Blu-ray versions anytime soon (I have enough other Blu-ray titles that I want to buy as it is!). I'm now just waiting for a great deal on Warner HD DVDs, and then I'll buy a bunch more.

It's amazing and a little bit disgusting to see how my standards drop along with the price of a disc. I mean, really: "End of Days"? But $5.99 with free shipping is hard to resist.
I have 55 HD-DVD titles now, and I paid more than $10 for maybe five of them.

84 (whenever my DD order gets here), I'll only cross the 100 mark if there's some epic blowout sales a la $5 per disc shipped. There's very few titles I know of out there that I really want.

I have around 50 or so. Although HD DVD had more titles I liked than Blu-ray did, there still weren't enough for me to build out a big collection.
I have been letting a few go as they are released or announced on Blu...Vendetta, Top Gun, etc., but some may never be released again in high definition....Streets of Fire?

2: Children of Men and Knocked Up, both combo discs. All others and the player I sold. Given all of the free discs and the cheap player, I think I came out even.

I just passed 100 individual titles, plus 5 box sets. I got more than half of the individual titles from inetvideo, and ALL of the box sets from BB during the system goof that let you get Heroes plus 2 other box sets for FREE if you buy the XBOX add-on player (which I then sold on Ebay for only a $25 loss after fees)... I bought more titles than I normally would have, but the price was right. I'm currently trying to unload all of the SD titles that I just re-bought on HD-DVD. Some were still sealed, so they were easy to unload except for the out of print titles that have since been reissued, like Fletch...
And of course, BB sent me a $50 gift card for the player I didn't even keep! Gotta love BB and inetvideo...
I have NO intention of going Blu anytime soon, and when I do, I will NOT rebuy any of the HD-DVD titles I have. Unless of course both of my 2 players die. But by then the next gen format will be out, and Blu will be dead anyway...

I think we will be ok for 2009 though. There better not be a new format next year.

I've cut back to 12, and it would be a lot less if any re-sell stores would buy HD-DVDs in my area, but they stopped doing that as soon as HD-DVD was dead. So it looks like I'm stuck with them. I do have about 70 Blu-rays now though, including some I previously had on HD-DVD.
