HD-DVD died the second Disney chose to go Blu. Simple as that.

I think HD DVD was killed in a hit and run by an inebriated Oscar Meyer wiener truck driver.

Wasn't it a meteor that killed HD-DVD?

I thought Warner was the studio that ended the war, not Disney.

What happened? Did they finally close the general chat thread. Looks like the motley crew is loose.

are you asking?? or did you think this was a good topic.

HD DVD "died" because warner went bluray exclusive. after losing a big player like warner bros and disney (previously) there was no way HD DVD could have survived with only 2 studios supporting it.

what convinced warner to go blu only?? sales numbers.

The OP is a new member with a new member "type" question. Just thought that all the responses (except yours obviously) were kinda childish. Gives this site a bad name IMO.
