If so, then yes as at some point, I imagine normal DVD's will no longer be made.
I never buy DVD's at full price - only when reduced or in a sale.
Also, I think they will come down to the price of current DVD's in due course as I don't think consumers will want to pay more for them.Comment

I think I read somewhere that because HD DVD is based on current DVD technology it has much faster access times compared to Bluray, something that is considerable when using them for anything other than watching films.
HD DVD is more versatile but Bluray has more storage, common sense won't prevail, the company that spends more promoting their format will.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostCost of players, plus the cost of transferring to making Blu Ray is still a factor, plus ISTR that Sony had said that Blu Ray would not be available for porn DVD releases. If that's still true, then there's still a "healthy" market for HD DVD out there.
