Admittedly, it's a mute point - developers are dropping HD-DVD no matter what the reason.

Bet you it's only read-only drives... A writable drive is very rare

I bet that includes all the XBOX 360 HD drives plugged into PCs.

I can't see it being true any other way.

That sounds about right too.

That second link says "and a special promotion for users to switch to Blu-ray"

That's neat as well - more olive branches. We're watching Blu-ray steadily become the accepted standard and successor to DVD.

Something must be up since the AVS commie's at work again on avsforum closing the thread for no reason! http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=986678

Doesn't get any more official than this http://www.sonic.com/about/press/new...1/blu-ray.aspx

Another blow to the entire HD DVD format chain. To the casual observer this move is not the headliner Warner was, but it truly shows that numerous and independent companies are coming to the same conclusion: HD DVD is dead and there is no reason to support it anymore.

Kayne314 · 01-30-2008, 11:05 PM

The more I think of the ramifications of this, the more I laugh.

Without authoring software, HD DuD has nowhere to go.

Awesome!

At least they did not delete it right away like the first time it was posted there.

The mods at AVMS are a bunch of hose heads.

CloudyFuture · 01-31-2008, 05:36 PM

On a Dutch forum a forummer analyzed the article, and stated it could mean Blu needs to be improved to get to the HD DuD quality level as HD DuD will still get updates and support.

My new quote is: "Another toll of the bell in the death knell for HD-DVD"

Feel free to spread it around!

Lol, it looks like nfinity has shown his face again.

All these paid off sellouts with absolutely no reason to stop supporting HD DVD will find themselves wishing to get back into HD DVD market but it will be too late, there's more and more tools being available and they are just shooting themselves in the foot.

It's funny how companies manage to completely smear their reputation like this. What a bad business move killing off a huge potential market on account of some under the table deal to cut HD DVD.

Again, Sony's and BDA strategy just shows how these scumbags operate.

What goes around, comes around ALWAYS
