Now that the HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray race is in full-swing, have you begun to think of which titles on DVD you will pass on in favor of next generation versions?

I've already decided to pass off on one title (re-purchase): HBO's Band of Brothers.

I could think of only one right now, STAR WARS Complete Box Set release.  If ever there is one coming.  With prices of 7th gen LCD's going down and HD's player in the horizon it would be within reach to view Star Wars in High Definition!

Hindi pa gawa ang DVD na palalagpasin ko!!!  >:(   ;D ;D ;D


I'm on a Wait and See mode regarding the next gen formats. Like, what would happen if the movies I love are not available on a format I like?

Probably I'll be still buying DVD for the next one or two years & untill such time BD becomes affordable. Then I may slowly double dip all my favourite movies in BD format (or which ever winning format by then that is)  :P

I say it's really hard for me to pass on... I wouldn't mind double dipping... besides, I'm doing it anyway in the current format.
