Last night!! I watched The Jerk on my HD A30 :thumbsup:

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

It was October 13th 2008 (Knocked Up).

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Grand Prix a couple of years ago. My A1 now has a place in the garage on top of my VCR.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Honestly can't remember. Probably an import title. By the time I get around to watching the small number of movies I have/had on HD DVD, the Blu-ray replacement is usually already in my collection.

With Meet Joe Black and Being John Malkovich coming out in the past few weeks on Blu, I think I have 5 HD DVD's left. Three of those (Born on the Fourth of July, Sea of Love and Mallrats) are already on the release calendar domestically or internationally. The two remaining are Midnight Run and Monty Python: Meaning of Life.

I still have my HD-XA2 hooked up and should probably just watch those two now and be done with it. No idea what I'm going to do with that player or my HD-A20 and HD-A1 that have been collecting dust since 2008.

Ummm...Does Camp Cuddly Pines Powertool Massacre count? If so, then my answer would be...recently.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Last month I watched The Thing and Blade Runner.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

probably The Thing too 2-3 months ago and i don't plan to "upgrade" to blu-ray either. That was the whole point i got an HD-DVD player to be able to buy HD movies for $2-3

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

A couple of months ago I watched Shaun of the Dead.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Last weekend i watched Caddyshack. Not a strong HD-DVD title but I already owned before I knew. I've only upgraded 2 HD-DVD titles and it had nothing to do with the movies. I upgraded Batman Begins on Black Friday for $5 and Heartbreak Kid for $4 as part of the BB 5/20 sale. I needed another title.

I have a spare player in the bedroom and another in the box in the basement. So I won't really be getting rid of HD-DVD for a long time.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

I gave my Toshiba HD-A2 to my mother and stepfather with my HD-DVD collection when I moved in with my (now) wife earlier last year. So it's been more than a year now.

The titles I would watch most have already been purchased on the cheap on Blu-ray, but there's a few titles that I haven't upgraded (Children of Men, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, etc.) that need to be. I just don't want to spend more than $5 on them because I'm cheap.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Never ;)

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory last week, just because I got a new TV and wanted to verify my player was still hooked up right, and that movie had problems on my last TV which is why I got rid of it. I have every major release (except for Twister since everyone selling that is greedy) so I'll be watching a lot more soon. Still have to watch a D-VHS movie on the new TV!

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Good...but not as good as Space Nuts. :)

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

I hooked up the 'ole player not too long ago to watch Brotherhood of the Wolf.
That film definitely deserves a R1 Blu-ray release.
It looks and sounds great in HD!

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

It definitely needs a Region A release. The Studio Canal Region B does look and sound damn good.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

I have a small collection of HD and even at $5 it would cost $400 to replace them with Blu. I know my HD stuff is worth something but not enough to justify changing everything over. Plus I think there are a few titles I still can't get on Blu

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Last night
The original original original Star Wars trilogy ;)

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Still watch The Getaway. Not on BD, DVD is non-anamorphic, rights might be in limbo because Warner canceled a double feature of both versions.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Seed of Chucky on March 2nd, 2009.

That's actually more recently than I thought. Kinda wish I could've named a movie that'd make me sound more awesome, but...

Out of Sight on 2/7/09 and a double feature of Atonement and Into the Wild on 2/1/09. Guess that was me taking advantage of a sale or somethin'.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

+1 UK import. Aaaaaah, the sweet region-free encoding of HD DVD!

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Brotherhood of the Wolf was issued in the US on D-VHS, but I don't have that one- yet.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Couple of weeks ago! Watched Blade Runner. It's still a completely viable format for me, since I've got PLANET EARTH, The Getaway (1972 and 1994), THE THING (it's a better encode than the DNR'd Blu), and many others on the cheap when the Blus are the exact same encodes for lots more $$$.

I also use my HD-XA2 as my main DVD player because its upconversion ability is so terrific.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

A couple of weeks ago I watched Zodiac. I still have my A-35 hooked up to my TV (Along w/ a Blu-ray player) and watch movies on it about every other month; I agree with several others that Brotherhood of the Wolf looks great!

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Couple nights ago. I still have 3 movies left that haven't been released on Blu-Ray yet.

The movie in question was Midnight Run.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Tried to watch Kiss Kiss Bang Bang when the in-laws were in town (a month ago?), but it seems that either my HD-DVD/Blu-ray combo drive is acting up, or Windows 8 Consumer Preview and TMT5 don't play nice with HD-DVDs, because the video was extremely choppy. Blu-ray plays seamlessly... as does DVD (which is how I ended up watching the movie, since the choppiness was just too distracting). A couple weeks ago, I tried The Good Shepard, and the same thing happened. So, I copied the files to my hard drive and... it played fine. WTF. So, for some reason, Windows 8 / TMT5 doesn't want me to play HD-DVDs directly, but has no problem playing the HD-DVD files from my hard drive. Very strange. I had no problems like this when I had Windows 8 Dev Preview installed, but something changed in the Consumer Preview to cause this to happen.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

I only had about 30 or so titles on HD-DVD and I scored most of them on the cheap when HD-DVD's demise was near. There were only a handful of titles that I paid more than $5-10 for (Children of Men, Transformers, The Bourne Ultimatum, and a few others).

All of my Warner HD-DVDs were replaced on the cheap as I used either the DVD-2-Blu or Red-2-Blu trade-in programs when they were available. I've reclaimed a few Universal titles when they've been priced $4.99 - $9.99 during sales at Amazon and Fry's. The only titles I haven't made a serious attempt at replacing have been my Paramount HD-DVDs. The only Paramount title I made the switch to Blu-ray so far has been Anchorman when the Best Buy exclusive came out.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Sometime in 2010. I didn't take any media with me when I moved.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

It was probably about 6 months ago. We watched Hot Fuzz because that's still one of the titles I haven't switched to Blu-ray yet. I still have probably about 7 or 8 HD-DVDs that I haven't switched over.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Not in a while. Probably The Thing around 6 months ago. I moved recently and don't have room right now to have everything set up.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

This was the title that made me decide to get the mod to make my Oppo BDP-83 region hackable.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

A couple weeks ago. I ordered, and watched, Midnight Run.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

I still watch them on a regular basis. The players and discs work great and the quality is just as good as Blu-ray.

It's a really cheap way to build a good HD collection with titles on eBay for a buck or two.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Watched "The Jerk" about two weeks ago... still hilarious

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

About two weeks ago, Pan's Labyrinth.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

The Thing back in October iirc. Bought at least 30 cheap HD titles when the sky fell, but have only watched a few.

Traded a couple of them in at the last Best Buy trade-in-save actually.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

It was two years ago and the title was "Blazing Saddles". After we viewed that movie (which blew the DVD-equivalent away) the HD-DVD player was moved to the basement where it just serves as a DVD player at this point. The whole experience was very sad for me. Blu-ray has proven to be a good format, but the HD-DVD VC-1 encodes really *rocked* back then.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Last year about this time I finally watched my copy of Atonement (that I just had to have as soon as it streeted years earlier). Can honestly say I enjoyed the second viewing on HD DVD even more than the first at the theater. A few months later I picked up a copy on Blu-ray.

I really should use it more than I do, especially since I went to the trouble of picking up a spare after they threw in the towel. As it is now, I can't imagine ever getting desperate enough to watch an HD DVD title to ever put the frustratingly clunky A1 back in the rack- but I just can't bring myself to throw it away.

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Right now I'm watching American Me :)

Re: When was the last time you watched an HD-DVD?
 

Watched Aeon Flux, Mr. Bean's Holiday last month. I still have my XA2 connected but I'm down to watching about one title a month.
