I've been bingeing your videos lately, thank you for all that you do!

Hi Jamie, I just discovered this channel today and agree 100% .I collect the same way. I have two Toshiba HD-DVD players and about 100 releases. I'm not sure if it's my imagination, but I like it more than Blu-ray. I collect all formats including some I can't even use like Cartrivision and VHD from Japan. I love creating a private library and museum for my physical media.

​@ThePhysicalWay --- Is there a list of HD DVD exclusives? *Also, did HD DVD have better menus and special features on the discs?* Or did the players have better functions?

I love the movie Blade runner and a guy on gumtree had it amoung some Blu ray movies he had for sale and I passed on it because I have it on 4K but now the part of me that is the collector regrets passing it up

yeah i remember HD-DVD vs. BluRay. In the UK it seemed to go on for a few months but after the format wars of the past I'm guessing once one side appeared to get ahead all the other companies piled in to end the format war quickly. In the space of a few months HD-DVD players went from hundreds of pounds to 30 pounds with a stack of films included

I still feel Microsoft doomed the format by not shipping Xbox with the player built in, and as such, they also should’ve shipped 360 games on HD-DVD, that would’ve really helped the format against a weakened Sony during the early PS3 days after launch.

@@ThePhysicalWay for real! Having amazing secondary functions worked for the PS1 with the high quality sound chip for CD playback, and the built-in DVD player on the PS2, as i'm sure you already know. I read that the PS2 is the highest selling home console so far. Microsoft definitely missed a trick there

I bought HD-DVD and Blu-Ray when they started. I honestly felt that HD-DVD has better picture quality than BD, where BD had better Audio. I still have my HD-DVDs but only have bout 50.

Very cool. Reminds me of the short life of the laser discs.

Actually, the LaserDisc format had a lifespan stretching from the late 70s all the way into the early 2000s.

You have a Disney movie (which is Hulk) on HD DVD? Even though Disney at the time supported Blu-ray.

Hulk was Universal, it’s complicated to explain but essentially it’s why they haven’t made a Hulk movie since 2008.

A good example of how crazy it can get with copyright, licensing, distribution rights and all that other stuff. Basically Disney can make as many hulk movies as they want to but they have to let universal distribute the movie. And Disney doesn't like to share LOL.
