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!

Digisurfer · 2006-12-18, 05:53 AM

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.

StaticSurge · 2006-12-20, 05:23 AM

18 HD-DVDs so far but the collection is getting bigger quickly

LEVESQUE · 2006-12-20, 04:04 PM

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

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!

hugh · 2006-12-20, 04:23 PM

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!

james99 · 2006-12-20, 08:06 PM

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

deltafin · 2006-12-20, 08:10 PM

4 HD DVDs here and none of Blu-ray

Donm · 2006-12-21, 09:10 AM

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:

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 My vote is already outdated.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.
