I have to admit there are many HD movies I'm very interested in, bu are
Blu-Ray only. Unfortunately I only have an HD-DVD player on my X360. Sorry,
but I think I'll still wait because I hate Blockbuster anyways and moved to
Netflix who support both formats.

Won't matter much anyways since combo BR and HD-DVD players will be fairly
affordable by end of this year.

The few times I go to Blockbuster for their exclusive title rentals,
it appears no one is renting the high definition version of movies.
The section is always full. I asked the clerk and he said he's only
known of a couple of rentals since they started carrying them.

I'm shocked.

I agree Blockbuster sucks as far as service is concerned but they are still
supporting HD-DVD and the Blockbuster CEO said that the current stores that
carry HD-DVD will continue to do so and as the need arises others stores will
start to add HD-DVD. The BB CEO was saying this today when all the articles
said BB was going Blu-Ray. I guess he was doing damage control because some of
the articles made it sound like they were going full tilt Blu-Ray. I'm
sticking with Netflix anyways because they just destroy BB Online with much
better service and stock.
