The player will bring me years of entertainment. Nevertheless I am very much upset over this horrible news. HD DVD such an amazing format, it does break my heart. Pravin, thank you again for this site. I'm just still very unhappy with this. A terrible thing. Darien, I have no regrets and have enjoyed every single HD DVD purchased.

Ive never been on this site until today, and i have to say that after reading your comments i truly feel bad about the folks who spent their hard earned cash on hddvd. I'm not rich so i know what its like to spend on something you really don't need. I could've easily been on hddvd's side if i bought a 360.

This is a very sad day and I’m really upset. Such a good technology and the best next-gen optical format didn’t win just because they wanted to rip off people. But there is nothing to be ashame of owning an HD DVD and I am very glad I have HD DVD player. I will not buy Blu-Ray and will continue with DVD since my wonderful HD DVD players upconvert them to almost near HD quality and still I can enjoy HD DVD movies selection I have. I am proud I never gave up and didn't and will not give my money to companies like Sony or Apple. Anyway we still will be here and talk about HD and HD DVD. Thank you Pravin for your hard work on the site. Well what I can tell for now about HD DVD is goodbye my love! I am sorry to hear the announcement. This is a very sad day and I’m really upset.

It would be great if I could still utilize all the capabilities of my A35, and even better to thumb our collective noses at those over-priced, less sophisticated blu-ray players. This is one quick market ready to exploit! It would also go a long way towards thanking the million+ customers for their support and loyalty!

I became purple awhile ago (with a Panasonic profile 1.1 unit), but vowed - because the upscaling (particularly on the Toshiba A35) is so good, that I wouldn't be quad/quintuple-dipped again - after all, VHS, laserdisc & DVD - plus the occasional DVD reissue/upgrade - is enough. So, for me, it's only going to be new releases. I've got my RSS set up for this site, so I look forward to further discussions. Pravin, bravo and thanks for your cool coverage of a very hot topic.

I'm really upset. HD DVD is truly the best format, and it's very unfortunate to see it end. I really hold WB responsible, and have blacklisted Walmart and Netflix from my good list. I will never do business with these companies ever. Again, 2/19 consumers around the world lost a great format that was very affordable, built for the consumer and truly next-gen. Such a shame that there is the potential for one company to control the medium, the media, the content, the movies, the music and the hardware. This should be illegal by all means. WB bad news for taking the $500M from Sony, and the retailers for accepting compensation from Sony to abandon HD DVD. Anyway great site Pravin, and thank you.

That's about the only case where they may not have any legal obligation to honor the rebate. All of you who are getting players right now -- just make sure you have your receipts and get those rebates mailed out fast. The offer expires on Feb. 28, and I think you get another month to mail it in. Work quickly before some loophole arises that prevents you from getting your movies.

I wish they would sale the media a bit longer. I wonder if they will honor it to. I wish they would sale the media a bit longer.
