Will the last HD-DVD be a collector's item?

David Carnoy | Jun 24, 2008

The HD-DVD version of the Irish flick Disco Pigs goes on sale now along with the Japanese anime collection, Freedom: 6. According to Wikipedia's entry on HD-DVD, these will be the last HD-DVD titles to be released in the US (though Bandai Visual says it wants to release the remaining episodes of the Freedom Project series on HD-DVD). The final big studio releases, Warner's Twister and P.S. I Love You, hit stores in May.

Personally, I wish The Last American Virgin was the last American HD-DVD. That film, a minor 1980s classic, was marked by a brutal ending that showed that sometimes nice guys do, indeed, finish last. HD-DVD, a good format to many, shared a similar fate.

So, anybody out there still buying HD-DVDs? Any collectors plan on buying Disco Pigs?
