Where can I sell my hd-dvd and movies ?

I wouldn't say that bluray has officially won, they're just getting a lot closer. You can probably sell them on ebay.
 
[quote name='Josehaha60']Now that blu-ray has officially won I have no need to keep my hd dvd .[/quote]

You are an idiot.
 
im assuming this is a joke topic. But more power to blu ray.

Try the forums or ebay.. I have five sealed hd dud's im trying to get rid of -_-
 
Yep, Bluray won...

So you might as well sell me all of them for, 5 shipped? Thats about all you can get for them now...
 
[quote name='[email protected]']why would u say blu ray has won?[/QUOTE]
Because Warner went exclusive Blu Ray, which leaves only Dreamworks/Paramount and Universal (among the major studios) producing HD DVDs in the US. One of them (Universal I think) is under an 18 month exclusive deal, and when that is over, they almost certainly will switch. That will leave a single studio. No genius needed to examine how viable a format with a single studio supporting it is. Blu Ray has won. HD DVD just isn't dead yet. It will be by 2009 though, barring some MAJOR changes/miracles. There is no question about that. That said, that doesn't really mean you should dump your HD DVDs. They still work just fine. I bought 2 HD DVDs this week alone. But, then again, I still own over a dozen Laser Discs, so maybe I'm not the person to be speaking on the subject of dead formats. :)
 
I'll take those nasty nasty little things off your hands... ;)

Though, like everyone else said... its not over until its over. I'm going to keep buying both formats until someone tells me they're not making one anymore. For example, I'm definitely picking up the Pianist next week.

It's Paramount that's under contract.

And yeah, even if HD-DVD loses, that just means awesomely cheap players/movies in the future for people who don't mind using a "dead" format.

And laserdisc lasted over 20 years and was superior to VHS during it's reign. DVDs are what really killed laserdiscs, you know.
 
How much are you going to sell your hd-dvd player for? I'll take it for 20 bucks, since it's basically obsolete in your eyes.
 
This guy is a troll. I've seen him going into HD-DVD topics just to badmouth them and say how much Blu-Ray is better. But I like these kind of threads to be honest. Makes me feel good knowing that no matter how bad things get, at least I am not as stupid as the OP.
 
you do have to admit though as much as it is far from dead, things certaintly are not looking happy for HD-DVD
 
I just returned my HD DVD Player today and put all of my HD DVD's on eBay. No I am not a troll just jumping ship.
 
I would have to guess the copyright protection on BLu-Ray is what is making studios go there. No one wants their movies pirated. Kinda sad I jst got into the HD movie format. I got the HD-DVD add-on for the 360 when heroes and all the free movies were dropping.

Whats the best Blu-Ray player? I would guess the PS3 is looking better and better.
 
Its easier to jump ship is your only have one foot on the deck.

3 dvd's and a player you bought a couple weeks ago. You were hardly on board.
 
Universal Studios and Paramount Studios have out clauses in their contracts that experts are mentioning that they will most likely option that right and either switch to Blu-Ray exclusive or begin to supports both formats... There has been talk that Paramount and Universal will be making announcements at CES regarding their future involvement with the HD-DVD format.

I have 16 hd dvd's smart ass I am still listing as we speak. My Harry Potter 5 discs already sold. But thanks for your useful reply.
 
I might understande this if you were a new adopter of the format with only a few movies... as for myself... with around 55 hd-dvds in my collection and 40 BR's, there is no reason to get rid of what I have, the player (my second) is only a few months old, the movies work fine and look great, the majority of them are from either Paramount and universal anyway... I hope to score some other cheap titles when the stores start clearing the hd-dvds out in the future

Oh I would agree. With only 15 or so in total and most still sealed that I could return or just sell as new it was very easy for me to bail out. Hell I got to return my 360 add on for full price that I paid so I can put that towards a PS3. If I had 50+ HD DVD's I don't think it would be as easy.
Nice that you have both
 
Why would anyone sell their HD-DVD players? It's not like it's ging to work inthe future. ALSO, with my smartness in math, selling your HD-DVD player, along with your discs and buying Blue Ray and REBUYING those movies you've had on HD will cost MORE expensive if you would just keep the HD-DVD player with the movies you have already, buy a new Blue Ray player, along with some NEW movies (instead of rebuying them on Blue Ray). So, if there is potentially a sell when Blue Ray officially won on HD, then you can buy both in both formats depending on which sales will go on in the future...

Yea, but I just decided that I wanted to switch. My wife was not going to let me have an HD DVD and a Blu Ray player. Plus I could return most of the things I bought still. I bought my Harry Potter discs from Amazon and Paid $65 for all 5 and just sold them on eBay for $65. I just bought them again on Amazon on Blu Ray so it was a wash. Then found the PS3 for $299 (about $99 more than the 360 add on my wife got me for Xmas). Everything seemed to work out and with the WB switch I figured it was a safe bet to switch.

I agree that a lot of people may end up spending more money to replace their existing HD-DVD collection in order to fully switch over to Blu-Ray, but the majority of the consumer base isn't intelligent enough to take a look at it in a more analytical and financial manner.

All they likely see is ZOMG! Blu-RaY FTW! ! ! HD-DvD is teh suXorz!!! Must seLL HD-dVd collecion now LOL!!!!!!1!!!!!!11!!!!!1!
 
Not only will a great amount of movies probably never get made into Blu ray but also IF BR wins then all HD movies will be dropped to such low prices like $5 that I'll gobble them all up.

Like it's been said over and over again they'll still work just fine even if the format loses. They'll still look great and work forever.

When you guys went HD did you dump your entire DVD collection hoping they'd be made into HD or BR?? I certainly didn't and still have 500+ dvd's and only double dipped into a few HD's.

Now if I could ever get my 5 free movies with the player purchase I'd be up to 20 HD movies and not really planning on buying any unless places like Best Buy keep up these BOGOF offers.
 
[quote name='sdp']Winning the HD war is like winning the special olympics.[/QUOTE]

...and that is possibly a very true statement... like Ive said before, most people I know dont care about hd-discs, even regular HDTV confuses them, I hear so many stories of people buying hdtvs , plugging them up and instantly thinking they have HD programming

The HD discs make the best difference on huge screens... on my 61" tv it is amazing... they are still amazing on my 37" but there is less of a dramatic difference between HD and standard discs
 
Traded my small collection and the player at a local Movie Trading Company for 155 bucks credit, not bad at all.
 
Since I jumped into the HD disc fray in November of 2006, I've bought three HD DVD players (HD-A1, which has since been sold, and two HD-A2s, both of which I still own), and two Blu-ray players (PS3, which I just sold, and Panasonic DMP-BD10A, which replaced the PS3). Counting the free movies from both formats that I have yet to receive from my last player purchases, I have 56 Blu-rays and 42 HD DVDs. The only thing I plan on doing is grabbing a second Blu-ray player for my bedroom, for the 42" plasma we just got in there, when I can get one for less than $200. I would have kept the PS3, but I got a killer deal on a Marantz SR9600XM receiver, so to pay for it I ditched my PS3 and all my games, as well as my receiver that the Marantz replaced. I got a good price on the BD10A, and like it as well as the PS3, except for the longer loading times. I'm used to that with the HD DVD players, anyway.

I knew that there was a chance that one or both HD formats could fail, and if HD DVD does go away, Blu-ray still isn't out of the woods. The proliferation of DVD, which is still in the scheme of things a relatively new technology, along with the confusion and complexity of HD for the average TV watcher, are the big opponents for either HD format. I don't believe that HD downloads will be a serious threat any time soon, as you're not going to get the quality of a HD disc from either a video or audio standpoint, not to mention all of the extra features of a movie on disc.

The biggest thing Blu-ray has going for it IMO is Sony's desperation to see it succeed. They'll do everything they can to see it succeed. I'm not sure Toshiba is, or even should be, willing to go that far.

One thing I think that all of the HD player and game system manufacturers need to start doing is to include HD-capable cables in the box with their systems. Every system should have both component video and HDMI cables in the box, along with a big poster telling people they must use one of those cables to get HD picture quality from the player. No telling how many people have their PS3s hooked up to an HDTV with the composite video cable that came in the box with it. When I bought an Xbox 360, at least it came with a component video cable.

One thing I wonder is if HD DVD does die, will Toshiba come out with a Blu-ray player?

what I would like to see happen is if HD -DVD does die that all future Blu/Ray players support playback of HD-DVDs like a dual format player. It would be something nice for consumers who supported both formats.
 
Yeah, people are cracking me up like all of the sudden their HD DVD players are just going to stop working or something because they think the "war" is over. So a year from now no more HD DVD's get made PERHAPS. I will still have a nice collection of HD DVD's that I have already purchased that look and sound GREAT as well as a fantastic upconverting DVD player. Why would I want to sell it and have to rebuy many of those movies?
 
Hey, I will give you $50 for all your stuff!

It's going to be like betamax anyways just sell it to me. I'll make good use of it.

It is a great Upconvert player makes you regular dvd's nice and pretty.
 
I guess no one here was around when the Dreamcast started dying. You could pick up cheap games left and right. And the same is going to happen to HD-DVD if Toshiba doesn't pull a miracle.

Bring on the cheap HD-dvds!
 
I'm not about to ditch my HD-DVD player just because Warner Brothers has been playing footsie at CES with Sony. I was already in the market for a decent upconverting player when those crazy sales came about in November, and it's performed admirably in that regard.

And, as far as high definition video goes, I was really only interested in two things: Blade Runner and Planet Earth, both of which are available in either format. The other HD-DVDs I've picked up along the way have just been icing on the cake.

Later on, when I've got the space and the budget to pick up something a bit spiffier than my 27" LCD, I'll worry about the format war. In the meantime, my standard discs look better than ever, and by the time I'm ready to accept the Blu-ray Disc in my life, the prices will surely have come back to Earth.
 
My Xbox 360 broke so I am getting rid of all of my HD DVD's. Check my other Auctions to save on shipping. This auction is for Planet Earth as you have never seen it before. I only got to watch disc one before my player broke, so disc 2-4 are unwatched. All of my HD DVD's are US releases and not imports. Lust like you would buy at Best Buy for $90.00.

Cute listing you TROLL. Your XBOX broke huh???? ORLY I thought you were jumping ship. GTFO of these boards if you don't have anything productive to bring to them.

I'm really impressed with the upconversion of my A2. Newer titles definitely look pretty slick.

lawdood has a good point about the players still being able to play movies in high quality and it being a nice upscaler, however, I don't want two players in my future, and it's now or never when it comes to selling these before they become worthless in resell value.

If I had more than 5 movies I actually bought, not counting my free ones, I'm sure I'd think more about keeping them and the player, but I can't imagine wanting to keep these in a few years time, so it is just fine to accept the loss and move on and get the PS3 as the Blu-ray player to last me.
 
whichever format "wins" it will be because of things like this. if you want one format to win support it or just be a fair weather friend like our OP. you could also support both which is what i do. if something "dies" its because it doesn't have enough support.
