As everybody probably knows HD DVD recently suffered a very painful and humiliating defeat at the hands of Blu-Ray. It was all a bit shit but these things happen.

Anyway, I actually bought the Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on back when I thought it was going to be the dog's bollocks. The thing is though, there's a shop in Glasgow that still sells them for a fiver each. So I've been snapping them up like mad recently.

The thing is, HD-DVD is dead but it's still HD and it looks fantastic. And being so cheap I'm buying films I wouldn't have ordinarily bought either cause they're old or cause they're comedy or something. I bought Enter the Dragon which is actually pretty slick looking.
And Shaun of the Dead. Which is just brilliance.

I don't really know what'll happen when my HD player kicks the bucket. Maybe there's a way I can rip them all or something. But for now, I'll continue to enjoy HD-DVD until there's no more films to buy.

Shaun of the dead is an awesome film! You should watch Hot Fuzz too, it's by the same guys.

Yeah, I'm currently watching Spaced as well.

I don't have an HD DVD player, but if I did I would probably do what you are doing McMoist.

See Hot Fuzz? I've seen it about 20 times mate, it's superb.

Hell, I went to the cinema to see it twice. I also have it on HD DVD.

Wasn't that big of a fan of Hot Fuzz either. Shaun of the Dead is amazing though. :lol:

Thought of buying an HD-DVD-ROM, too, as they "lost" against BR. New HD-DVDs are (were?) costing less than the same thing on a regular DVD, but I didn't jump on that train.

Are you complaining about the realism and logic in Shaun of the Dead?

Tbh i've always been a fan of Blu Ray (For reasons i CBA to type out), but i kinda wish i had a hd dvd add on right now for my 360 to snap up all these cheap HD DVDs, because as u say, hd is still hd, cheap hd is good.

the 360 hd dvd drive doesn't render in 1080p though, only 1080i? Boooo!
