Also for the fact that you bought an HD DVD and the fact that is near death ticks you off for the loss of format availability but you should be mad at amazon for selling you a format for cheap. you should be mad at yourself for buying a format that isnt going to last. And since netflix has many movies in HD DVD format only illustrates the attempt to garner market share by distributing the format for market share. but as you can see the media giants have chosen BlueRay. Also Since that HD as you mentioned is available for download many of the people you leave out of your statement are the non tech savvy people who dont watch movies straight from download on to the TV. You also fail to realize that the quality of HD is limited to your connection to your service provider. You miss a complete demographic.........
The reality is that you limit the fact that when a better quality product is out on the market we sacrafice the quality of a blue ray disc for the quantity of the hd dvd. and its still to early to say
