I'm pretty sure HD DVD's were doomed a couple of weeks ago cause Toshiba quit funding them, but I'm not sure.

Old news if you're keeping up with this stuff. News broke sometime last week that Toshiba is no longer making any HDDVD players, and they were one of the last ones so... | |

HDDVD was so much better too.
Whatever, Blu-ray is never going to topple DVD so it is going to lose out in the end anyways. | |

First off they both outputed in same resolution but HDDVD was cheaper.
HD DVD was better. Blu-ray was unnecessarily more complex. | |

Because price isn't everything, see Linux vs. Windows.
It's just me, but the quality of DVD is good enough for me. Ideally, you need an expensive system to enjoy either format, but I like my laptop.* | |

also its a new technology, so it goes without saying theyre going to charge stupid amounts of money for it initially. like the playstation 3.
sony already have to rep of obsessive little *****es when it comes to copyright protection so now that even more of their precious money is on the line in their next desperate attempt to dominate the market, plus the fact that no matter which idiot says what you cant stop copyright infringement, ****s gonna hit the fan. its gonna happen at some point..

It's not like I have 20billion dollars in my back pocket or anything.
