    RIP HDDVD-Long live HDi???

    Toshiba After HD DVD: What Lies Ahead? - Page1 -  MSN Tech & Gadgets - News and Features HDi? Hmmm, sounds a little like what some of those at CES were talking about. Guess we'll have to wait and see if Toshiba still has any bridges left to stand on.

    It's official: The Format War is Over! Toshiba pulls the plug on HD DVD

    Well it's done. Toshiba threw in the towel and their stock goes up as does Sony's. I kind of wonder if all Sony won was a battle but still may loose the war? Think about it, thousands of HD TVs out there in homes across America but what are people really watching? Here is some info I...

    Is it time to thank HD-DVD?

    Amazing. Forced them?? Ha, that's frickin funny.

    What made you choose the format you did

    HD DVD, got my A3 for $98. 7 free movies and works good upconverting my DVD movies.

    HD-DVD (only) Owners: What do you do when it's over?

    Voted yes, when BD players become cheaper BUT I still hate Sony. Just too Darth Vader like...."HD DVD, I am your father" Lol.

    How many of you devout red would turn purple with your tax rebate

    If and when we see our checks. There will probably be a new tax law next year equal to what refund you received this year. Wow, did I say that out loud? I'm starting to sound like my Dad.

    BluRay: Early adopters should've expected to get screwed...

    Found a 10% off coupon to shave $80 off the combo player at Best Buy. Maybe I can get some more reward zone coupons to whittle it down even more.... Waiting to see if BluRay offers any olive branches to HD DVD users or if they will just stand pat now that victory is seemingly theirs...

    HD DVD-R Playback Now Possible

    Great. Now if the cost of HD DVD R discs drop then we'll have something.

    And the winner is.........

    Blockbuster, Netflix now challenged by iTunes movie rental - MarketWatch The one good thing about all of this is competition. And because of it there will/should be lower costs and more choices to us the consumer and hopefully better PQ and sound. At least I'm told that's how it works in a...

    I'm no where near buying a Bluray player.

    I can see the BD tide turning now. I wouldn't be surprised to see Xbox offering an external BD by next year's CES show maybe. Gates would/should rather take on Sony's PS3 with his Xbox than hold onto HD DVD only. Why do think Gates had MS put the Xbox HD player externally?? So just in case HD...

    HD-DVD Death = Prolonged life for DVD

    Because price will always be very important. Even if it was for the short end of the straw. Sure it was for only a short period of time that it was offered at that price but it is a strong argument as to why and when people buy. Price to value for BD or anything else for that matter will be no...

    HD-DVD Death = Prolonged life for DVD

    I got my A3 HD-DVD player for $98. I needed a upconverting HDMI player anyhow. Price. Slam dunk decision as I was firmly planted on the fence. No regrets. No need for a PS3. I even asked my kids if they wanted one. Xbox 360 deep. And they're 15 and 19. Maybe MS/xbox will be adding a external BD...

    REUTERS - WB to Announce Blu Only

    " Another even bigger issue is the threat of the industry moving to a Web-based distribution model for movies. This will bypass the two high-def formats altogether, possibly making the current battle moot. Much like the recording industry has seen sales of music plummet as consumers buy or steal...

    In the DVD War Over High Definition, Most Buyers Are Sitting It Out

    “When high-definition DVD reaches its tipping point, studios will have to release their movies in both HD DVD and Blu-ray,” Mr. Adams said. “No studio will be able to afford not to.” True that. Seems to me that the only real winner will be the HDMI cable companies since so many people will own...

    Article from Dan Ramer, Blu-ray vs HD-DVD

    Much to do about nothing IMHO. We'll probably be still going over this same issue for possibly several more years until something big or truly groundbreaking can come along like a new technology or major exclusive partnerships. Lower price reductions for both HD DVD, BD and multi format players...

    I was wrong about Transformers!

    No other Bond than Sean Connery. Brosnan is second. I can't stand this new guy. Weak, stumbling Bond? Wasted the Aston Martin??? How do you even get a car to tumble like that(except with special devices)? Such a waste of a fine car, deep sigh.:(

    Is it time to start counting HD-DVD's Days?

    Casualty of war Stupid war. All of the manufactures had an opportunity to come out with ONE all encompassing format. But NO. Too much money and pride in the way. Yes, I did buy a $98 A3 HD DVD player and am enjoying it. But can I play BD movies with it, NO. Would I like to, YES...
