I think the prices will come down over time. I can't really justify paying £23 for a DVD but that's just me.

Quality is much greater than DVD but all paid at a price.

Blue-Ray and HD-DVD are the same quality and the PS3 is more capable than most standalone Blu-Ray players.:rolleyes:

Children of men is a good film, WTC is absolutely shocking; I was so close to just giving up watching it half way through :lol:
Welcome to the world of HD though :D

no region coding on hd-dvd james

however, if you buy a combo disc, the standard dvd side will be region coded so you will need a multiregion dvd player to watch that side

get transformers, its amazing in hd.
even my missus noticed the difference and she thought hd was just a gimmick until she watched transformers and was amazed by the difference in quality

Not seen a bluray yet. Its supposed to be better? But i got a good deal with my hd dvd playes my dad wants a ps3 so will get that nxt year.

re price, dvds were the same if not more when they were released 8years ago! I worked in a music/dvd shop and average dvd was £20 some i.e titanic were as much as £27 so hd/blu ray not that bad really
