Sell or Keep HD-DVD player & movies? So I have an HD-D3 from Costco it cost
So I have an HD-D3 from Costco it cost me singular like $130. HD-DVD (I know it's appalling to admit) seems approaching it's on it's way out, and unless some miracle happen..it'll be a dead format by the shutting down of 09..if not 08. Anyway I could defend keeping the player as at least a SD upconverter (like most people), but the point is I already have a PS3...and it does a fine career upconverting SD DVDs. I do have movies for my HD DVD player that I really savour like Batman Begins, Matrix Collection, V for Vendetta, Bourne Collection, Transformers, Shrek etc. And they are not on Blu Ray right very soon, and most of them I don't see them coming out on blu ray for a while (at tiniest not this year). If you were within my situation..would you just enunciate..hey it's just $130 player..savour what movies are out now and will still come out very soon until the format (potentially) dies completely. Or would you return the player..and try to make put money on what you could off your current HD Dvds and a moment ago be patient for the movies to be on blu?
Answers:
If it be me and I already bought the HD DVD player and had a few movies for it, I'd probably hold onto it for a while. If Blu Ray win (and it looks like it will) you'll at lowest possible be able to pick up some existing movies when they be in motion on clearance. You could also try to sell the player and movies as a bag. You may get more than returning the player and trying to bad load the movies.
Well. I would defnietaly preserve the movies because you can watch those on anything. As for the DVD player itself i would vend it. Go on ebay or something and get some profit for it. It is better later having a lump of metal sitting surrounded by your living room doing nothing when you hold a ps3 that can do the same piece, and maybe even better. hang on to the hd-dvd player and, of course, the ps3
