They barely made HD-DVD players anyway.

Nice! That is very good news... I have been buying their products for some time and happy to hear that they abandon DuD!

I would have to say any business that would pick up HD DVD or stay on the ship at this point would not be in business for long and then needs to get their heads examined.

being a x hd dvd supportor this is good news.
in fact i'm sure any company that had anything with hd dvd won't for too long.
i say that because some hd dvd supportors think somones going to come along and pick up where hd dvd left off.as i told them hd dvd is dead ,gone forever...geezz

Always good to hear, thanks. They were only releasing in Europe, and maybe Canada as far as I know? But I can't imagine that the sold very many.

HD DVD dosn't even have a ship. At this point, it's a submarine...with a hole in the side of it.

haha yeah nice one saiyan id say a rusty wreck like the titantic on the sea bed

i think it was over before it started really obviously the only way hd-dvd was gonna have a chance was the film companies dumping blu-ray and going over because as youll probably know all but 2 were blu-ray and once warner dumped hd-dvd that was it .Blu-ray just had too many companies behind it to fail

2000 units, I believe.

They got shafted by Toshiba, just like Thomson at CES2006, or Venturer in Q4. I wonder what that will do to long term relationships?
