What did you pay for the HD DVD player and films, Gel?
Are the films worth owning?
How many of these titles do you already own on BD?
Are you likely to watch any of these titles more than once?
The purchase only makes a degree of sense if you paid very little for the package and can watch a bunch of films you're keen to see and don't already own.
Even if the purchase represents some value in the above regards, it remains evidence of obsessive and compulsive behavioural patterns.
As I'm sure you know, I ask the above questions from a point of concern rather than criticism.

Hi mate, just paid £65 for a Toshiba HD DVD player with 35 HD DVD discs. It's got the high definition sound on it too. My dad had the Toshiba HD DVD 30 one and it was really good on his Pioneer it outshone Blu-Ray by quite a bit. I have bought the 35 one which like I said does the sound. The discs are a mixture, I have Top Gun and Batman Begins but that's it I think.strapped for cash said:
HDMI cable, **** do I need two? That's not going to work is it? I suppose I will have to disconnect my Blu-Ray player and hock it up, and change it each time. *smile*. Didn't think of that!bigboss said:

Well, as others have said, there will be no difference in video quality between HD DVD and BD (that said, some HD DVD titles were better mastered than their BD counterpart while there was still a HD disc player format war, but they were few in number).
It's hardly catastrophic value and probably of interest to a small niche of collectors (I sold my Pioneer LD player and discs to a collector several years back).
At the same time, it's an unnecessary purchase and evidence of compulsive buying, and should be recognised as such; especially when you already own a BD player (one of countless you've worked through) and Blu-ray discs are cheap second hand and near-future proofed in terms of compatibility.
i've seen it all..why would you WANT to buy hd dvd stuff? you certainly dont need it, and yes blu ray is better picture quality over hd-dvd over what was previously mentioned
I have decided to put another stand next to mine and just swap the HDM`I cables between TVs. *smile*

not a good idea to keep swapping over hdmi leads between different items, it can lead to the pins on the connectors becoming broken, plus other things like damaging the hdmi sockets and if done too many times you may start not getting any picture and/or sound.

hdmi switchbox or preferably use the spare inputs on the back of your amp, this way you will get Hd sound as well.

takes three inputs ( HD-DVD, blu-ray etc) to one output (your TV).
