HD DVD may have lost the hi-definition DVD format war against Blu-ray, but now consumers can pick the remnants of the technology up for a fraction of its original cost.
At DVDtalk.com there is a forum post discussing where to find the best deals on the now obsolete technology (kudos to this Information Week article for the forum link).
Though HD DVD is essentially dead, I'm thinking I might jump on and buy a player and a nice little stack of DVDs. Worst case, I have an extra upconverting DVD player lying around that can play a select number of hi-definition disks.
With prices so cheap, I see no reason not to. Plenty of movies have already been released in HD DVD format, and the prices of these movies are going to drop extremely fast in the coming weeks.
For the consumer, buying HD DVD may be the cheaper, very short term answer to expensive Blu-ray players and disks.

Two things:
1. You're right... so what if you have a DVD player that only plays a few DVD's? You got all of the above for cheap.
2.
With prices so cheap, I see no reason not too.
Uh... You only need one "O."
