I hear ya. Everyone was paid off on both sides. Everyone is guilty of it.

Tell it to the OP.

Who Cares? So what if Toshiba paid Paramount and Dreamworks. This is not only old news, but it is also dead news. It affects nothing in business circles other then give the studios that were able to get payouts for either camp some money during a time when they needed a boost.

Guys, HD-DVD is GONE-- any discussion of the format is moot. Vurbano is still living in July of 2006 when the promise of HD-DVD was its brightest and that is okay, HD-DVD was a good format but now it is gone. In another year the only place you are going to get HD-DVD movies is E-Bay and those will be used. There will be no more pressing of HD-DVD product so why the diatribe?

What we should be doing is debating where BD is and where they need to go in order to improve the product and make it available to the masses for adoption. Player specs need to be formalized and enforced by the BDA and the price of the movies need to come down. That's what the discussion should be about now -- not a dead format that is now non-existant for retail.
