Death to HD DVD!!!


Who is not pissed off by the getting in the stupid corporate crossfire between HD DVD vs. Blue Ray format wars, raise your hand. Ok you can put your hand down if you don't care about any of these formats. What's not to hate? Prices of new players are the stratosphere, some movies only come in one format, some in the other. There are players that can play both formats, but they costs pretty much like two units together anyway. And there's all this confusion of how one format is different from the other, constant debates which is better (btw, Blue Ray is better :P)
Cheers go out to Warner Brothers, who were the only company supporting both formats. Warner, switched exclusively to Blue Ray disks, abandoning it's HD DVD support. Now there are just TWO out of eight major movie companies left in the HD DVD camp: Paramount and Universal. Many think it's deadly blow to HD DVD format from which it will not recover. I say good riddance, let's now concentrate on the content rather than media and make better, cheaper High Definition video players.
