Studio backing is only as valuable as the titles they put out. A studio's catalog is worthless if it never sees the light of day.

When do you think Auph adopted HD DVD? - Jazz Inmate 12:01:43 12/11/07 (10)
You guys genuinely don't seem to understand that this is not a static situation. The concept that titles are continually coming out seems lost on you. Basing decisions on the available titles at a fixed point in time, early in format rollout, is completely nuts.

And this is where voting with your dollars comes into play. By jumping the fence from one side to the other, you are not telling the studios what format you prefer and you are encouraging the war rather than the format. Decide which is best and support it. Right now, neither format has the title availability to justify interest in terms of building a serious library.

  No, basing decisions on titles that may never see the light of day is nuts.

  I'm telling the studios, that I'm a movie lover, not a format cheerleader.
  Of course, that's why I still buy DVDs.

        There simply aren't many good titles out there on either HD format to be a logical reason to adopt.
