HD DVD's #1 Fangirl Strikes Again!!

HD DVD's number one fangirl thinks Toshiba have got a chance!

Toshiba Goes for Super Bowl TD
January 25, 2008
It looks like Toshiba has booked a HD DVD commercial to run during the Feb. 3 Super Bowl. Could this be the 'Hail Mary' pass that changes format war momentum? After news that Blu-ray represented a whopping 90% of all high-def sets sold for the week ending Jan. 12, HD DVD is in danger of being in that fourth and long position on the format war field. But a Super Bowl ad would get it out to the perfect audience most primed to desire a high-def set-top.

It's just too bad that everyones going to be watching the Superbowl on their new TV. That happens to have their brand new free Blu-Ray player sitting under it.

these are my reply's:

Eli Manning commented:

HD-DVD lost. Nice try with the football analogy though... "HD DVD is in danger of being in that fourth and long position on the format war field." -classic lol (game was already over in the 2nd quarter)

Tom Brady commented:

Eli is right.

Um... what makes you think she's HD-DVD's #1 fangirl? A lot of her blog posts are about Blu-ray. Her piece was objectively written. If anything, it's very pro-Blu in that she mentions Blu-ray's 90% market share and the fact that this is Toshiba's "hail mary" (ie. we're gonna need a miracle).

have you read it? anyone that publicly states that HD DVD has a chance can't be in their right mind. As for mentioning BD is 90% and it is a "Hail Mary" play, it is VB, anyone that reads her article already knows it, it is not as if, as she used for her info, she is posting on HDD, she can't say that even though the official numbers are 90% that they must have missed something and they are realy 45% BD and 55% HD DVD. If you want a more realistic football analogy, there is only time for one last play, BD has the ball 1 yard from the line and is winning by 14 points.

I like all the responses to her blog though. They're pretty much all pro Blu.
