How in hell has the HD DVD camp lasted this long?
Let's answer this idiots question in one sentence and be done with any further arguments...

HD-DVD has movies that Blu-ray doesn't!

End of story. Interactive features, player cost, Toshiba/MS loyalty has anything to do with HD-DVD being remotely alive. As long as there are studios that are exclusive to one format or another, both will survive.

Anyone else notice an increase in these articles the bigger whooping HD-DVD takes week to week?

So GIzmodo takes all that time to write an article hyping up HDDVD....


When HDDVD is on life support right now.....uhh.......


If that isn't red flags going up all over the place, I don't know what is.


Taking the Phuccccin payoff just like the others....all loss of respect from me for that site and IGN and their shill of a journalist Gerry Block-head

I was about to quote the same thing!

"In my recent research into the two sides of the format war, I have tried hard to steer clear of marketing mumbo jumbo on both sides, and examine real issues."

This was the best article I have read on the format war. I learned a lot from it. And I am happy with my decision to purchase a Toshiba HD-DVD player. I am a 360 gamers as are my kids. I am happy that I did not get the 360 player simply because if I want to watch a movie and the kids want to game (or vise versa) we can do it. The price to get a PS3 and then another Blue-Ray player is just not worth it. All the games we like are on 360 and many are not on PS3 as someone else mentioned. But that being said had I been able to pick up a BR player for $200 or less I might have went with BR. So after reading this article I am glad I went HD-DVD.
w0w! See theyre teaching noobs the wrong thing!! Omg i cant believe they could write such a misleading article. M$ must be paying some nice advertising dollars.

All this article proves is that HD DVD may survive in China as CH-DVD, but not in the rest of the world.

I have both players, but am under no delusions. The Blu-Ray sales tell the real story. It will no doubt be the format of the future.

Nah, more like skarloey (and his special funnel) or one of the old red engines. James was quicker than Thomas.

My son too.
