Default I did something I never thought I would do......

Which is trade in my HD-DVD add-on for the 360. I have come to the conclusion that HD-DVD has no chance of winning this war judging by what i have read and seen. I am not going to buy a Blu-ray right away, Im waiting to see how this all turns out, and when I know who wins, or if it will remain combo'ed, I shall buy a player.

Hey eveyone give a new hand to new memeber of the "realize HD DVD is F***ed so went nuetral/BD" club! Seriously though, you have made a good choice. Now prepare to be flamed by HD DVD fanbois who say you made your decision "too soon"

Congrats, you made the smart decision. I am also looking at getting rid of my 360 add-on and 16 HD DVDs.

Well, if you do decide on Blu-Ray, I'd say go with a PS3. It's got Blu-Ray and you can also play the games not found on 360, like Ratchet and Clank.

I am going neutral next year. I am just waiting for the new Blu Ray players that will play all the features that are going to be coming out for it. And hopefully the price will be under 400 dollars.

BD only has a handful I want. HD will still be a major source in my collection.

kahuna just decided to sit it out, why? i dont know.. i would never go back to dvd now


im going to stick to my guns because my collection will always play no matter what
yeah i just got my BD player, but i will hang on to the HD DVD's i have and my 360 add on, i will also still be getting some of the HD exclusive release like ,Darkman and Elizabeth.

But if a title comes out in both formats, I will pick up the BD copy, just because of the HDMI PQ and Optical SQ,that my Xbox 360 does not offer me.
