Why not just get the 360 add-on? You could use it with a labtop.

Blugay has the anime/CG movies I love. HDDVD has the bulk of the REAL movies I love.

Yes.

there are some exceptions though, like Children of Men on Blu-Ray (Euro release only), similar to Prestige Blu-Ray which can be imported from Amazon UK on HD-DVD.

I think Alexander also came out on Blu-ray but the rest are exclusive so far. The HD-DVD Pirates is much better than the Pirates on Blu-ray

I coulda sworn that Pan's was, but I just checked and it's not. Same thing with Goodfellas. I'm not the one that posted Blade Runner though. I am getting that on BD.

F91 was one of the few Gundam movies I've watched and it was pretty terrible. I liked the mech designs though.

Yeah, F91 isn't that great, but I'm a Gundam freak, so I don't really care, as long it's not G Gundam or Wing.

Absolutely gorgeous animation, though.

TVC15 · « **Reply #58 on:** November 27, 2007, 09:02:17 PM »

HD-DVD has more older catalog releases. It seems like the strategy with BD up until now has been to keep it afloat with shitty modern exclusives. This is primarilly why HD-DVD has gotten a leg up, and gotten enough momentum to continue the war for at least another year. The war would be over if the BD companies weren't incompetent.
