What are the reasons for choosing the latest cellular phones, TV's, gaming consoles, and ect? The answer is simple, these devices are essential for our happiness and it makes us enjoy the product that much more! Today's technology seems to slap you in the face, you have a deep conviction to learn and appreciate the latest media, but what seems difficult is the lack of knowledge and information.

To fully indulge and comprehend why the preferred choice for video and audio is HD DVD I went asked members of a very popular message board www.avsforum.com for the answers. The feedbacks from some of these experts were very concise and punctual as well as other answer being simple and to the point. For a brief introduction to HD DVD before delving deep into thought of why the experts choose HD DVD, you can click here for the latest information.

Continuing our quest to exploring and learning why HD DVD is choosen by consumers, I asked a simple question, "Why do you prefer HD DVD?" Replies flooded my monitor as I tried to read through all the positive comments as well as weeding out some of the daunting remarks.

The runner-up choice and reply for the selection of HD DVD was a close one, but understandable. Audio! Audio has a way of affecting the mind when watching pictures move, without sound there would be emptiness. As this audio-buff member commented I smiled, "My reason is on the audio side. The first players by Toshiba (A1/XA1/D1) have discrete analog outputs. I can listen to the high-end audio tracks (Dolby TrueHD and DD+) through the analog outputs in my system. On the Blu-ray side, the PS3 plays back high-end audio tracks only through its HDMI output. All of the uncompressed Blu-ray tracks are not useful to me until (1) a reasonable-cost Blu-ray player comes out that supports them in analog form or (2) I upgrade my receiver."

A third place deciding factor was the fact that cheaper media can persuade someone easily into recollecting already owned movies. Bargains can be found everywhere and anywhere. The fact of the matter is that deals can be found on-line or at very popular retail stores, such as Fry's Electronics and Best Buy. For example; many people were raving over the lastest movie The Departed, starring Leonard DiCaprio, which is an excellent movie overall and I was planning on purchasing the movie at my local Circuit City, but when the news hits the internet that Best Buy was selling the HD DVD copy for $22.99, I was in perfect harmony! Yes great deals and affordability will makes faces smile.

The second choice many seemed to cling onto was the overall picture quality. One member had this to say, "Now that I watched both HD DVD & BD of The Departed, now I know why I went with HD DVD first!" I personally believe that Universals master piece King Kong is a great movie to show off the power of HD DVD.

Finally the number one answer as to why many prefer the luxury of HD DVD is for the economical purposes! Hardware is the most crucial part in deciding many things in life, such as the car you drive, the clothes you wear, and the type of appliances you should own. Save a pretty penny and enjoy a beautiful technology that is affordable for anyones budget as per this member, "Price. Why pay more for something that isn't really any better? I got my A2 for over 100 bucks (125 to be exact) cheaper than a PS3 than doesn't even upconvert SD or work with my remote out of the box (and the 20GB PS3's are tough to find)." Hard as it may be to swallow, a player can cost upwards to $500 and that is hefty amount of savings to invest for eye candy cinematic.

So how can we better aware other potential followers and fellow HD DVD consumers? Share some of these tidbits and information to arouse their interests in this new technology.
