How come the survey shows over 50 HD DVD movies on your vote????



I have 6 BD. I am in a small town and we have only a single WM store for all HD discs. BD is already taking 2 more slots on the shelves than HD DVD which was 50-50 3 weeks ago! Cannot get any kind anyway from local video rental shops as they are afraid to invest.

I hadn't voted until now. When I posted the poll was not up so that was someone else.

When I got my A-1 about six weeks ago, I vowed to be a little more discriminating about my HD-DVD purchases. But 12 discs in, I'm so hungry for content, I'm finding myself in a constant battle to resist making purchases based upon reviews for great PQ. I really wish my local BB or Rogers would hurry up and start stocking HD discs!

Seven HD-DVD discs, no BD (yet). Content providers are very limited where I live, so I've been very starved for content ever since getting a new HDTV set several weeks ago. Currently saving up for a Playstation 3 and am half way there. Whatever it takes, just so long as I have my 1080p fix. ;)

Today, exactly 78 HD-DVDs and 27 Blu-rays. :D

But there are 3 HD-DVDs and 2 Blu-rays in transit from Amazon in the mail... So my collections are growing almost every day! :o

Excellent thread James 99! I admire all your work creating that poll!

I have 2 blu-ray and 0 hd DVD but that will change in 2007!

I was bored and on holidays. I'll be repeating the poll in another 3 months.

Should be interesting to see how things change in 3 months. CES 2007 should be interesting.

In case anybody is wondering, I'm the 50+ HD DVD guy, but that wasn't hard to figure out.

It looks like the winner will be: HD DVD 1-9 / Blu-Ray 0

You should probably lock this thread at some point. That will keep it more of a point in time survey. Maybe lock it every 3 months and start a new one.

Donm, at very top of poll:

This poll will close on 2006-12-31 at 12:12 PM

I'll start a new poll every few months. My vote is already outdated.

Ah attention to detail, did not notice that.

Mine is out dated as well.

Alright the poll is asking about the number of HD movies we have.

So to be specific, I have 29 HD movies. But I also have 6 HD concerts, 1 HD documentary and 1 HD demo. Fortunately, that still puts me in the HD DVD 25-50 / Blu-Ray 0 category.

So far 11 HD-DVD movies, zero BLU-RAY; on a side note, here in Moose Jaw, our local WM started with an even number of each format; are now almost sold out of HD-DVD and have yet to sell a single BLU-RAY :P

2 more yesterday:

Unforgiven: with Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman. My best HD DVD to date... 4 Oscars. Very well done movie. And PQ is simply wonderful.

Chronos: My first HD DVD with DTS-HD sound. Would have liked more than synthesizer music to appreciate. But the surround effects are good. There's a "ROM" selection in the menu... I believe if I had a RJ-45 cable connected to my cable modem (some 50' away), I would have activated an interactive menu to make use of other features. Are there other movies released for DTS-HD and online interaction?

I got 18 sd-dvd and thanks to my Xbox 360 HDdvd drive, I got 3 HD-dvds so far. (King Kong, Full Metal Jacket and Miami Vice). Sorry, no Blurays here.
