Was there a Blu-ray or related commercial during the Superbowl?

I watched the first three quarters, and did not see one.

Between the 3rd and 4th though, there was a Toshiba HDDVD Commercial. It stinks though.

Honestly, I have seen this commercial a bunch of times before on my cable HD channels. Dude hanging from a helicopter holding a chick, and they end up falling onto a couch? That one. For the longest time I thought it was a commercial for HiDef in general, but only last night did I realize for the first time that it was actually for the Toshiba players.

The best part though? The commercial was aired in SD. During the SUPERBOWL, when SO many commercials were aired in HiDef, they air the HDDVD player commercial in SD? So dumb.

How fitting. They can't even afford a new commercial, done in high def no less.


HD-DVD is a stopgap of today's technology and shortsighted thinking. Blu-Ray is long term thinking and involves future/cutting edge technology.

Actually it's a prop and a smokescreen being held up by Microsoft to deliberately keep the market split up, but I digress.

HD-DVD is one of the biggest scams to ever hit the world of consumer electronics.

Blu-Ray is long term thinking and involves future/cutting edge technology.

When the game lost any sembelance of competitiveness, I admit I just wasn't paying that much attention to any of it.

I really hope the BDA took advantage of this obvious oppurtunity, at least in terms of software sales like: "Comes out Tuesday on DVD and Blu-Ray!"
