HD-DVD Continue To Lives On - Cheaply!

The War between Sony's Blu-Ray and Toshiba's HD-DVD May be over, however HD-DVD continues to live on and to make it more interesting they are cheaper.

As most of you know a few months back (during the conflict between the two HD Formats) both formats would cost anything between £18 - £30, nowadays blu-rays are £12 - £25 (depending on where you buy it from). Well now HD-DVDs can be purchased as cheap as £3.

The reason for this dramatic price drop is for retailers to sell off all their old HD-DVD stock as quickly as possible so they can stock more Blu-ray format titles - which means cheap HD Films for us.

To some it might sound pointless as films arent being released in HD-DVD anymore, however over in the USA publishers such as Warner Bros, Paramount and Universal are stilling releasing HD-DVD films and BBC have recently released Torchwood Season 1 on HD-DVD - and the titles that are bein moved from HD-DVD to Blu-ray will come out at full price, for example Batman Begins will be £18 on Blu-ray, however you can buy it now on HD-DVD for £4 - same film, same quality, different disc type.

HD-DVD Players are still pricey, however at some retailers such as Currys and Comet you can pick up Toshiba EP-30 HD-DVD/DVD Players for around £100 (they will be classed as DVD Upscalers instead of HD-DVD Players), however if your an Xbox 360 you can head down to your local gamestation and get a 360 HD-DVD Drive + any 2 films for £25.

So if you want some HD Films at a decent price, now is the time to do it as stock as selling fast. Here is a list of links to cheap HD-DVDs:

HMV - From £2.99 per film (Free Delivery)

Amazon UK - From £3.98 per film (£1.24 per DVD)
