It’s not exactly true that HD-DVD drives from MS are useless, at least to the customer. Or at least to me.

They’re cheap, and you have a collection of about 2 years of movies, which are now totally cheap too.

HD-DVD “had” the better films and also the content was superior.

By the by now, anyway. I likes my Blu Rayz

I agree with Tonka. Now we’re stuck with inflated prices, region encoding and spyware for another generation. I fully intend to sit this optical gen out and wait for d/l services or flash drives to take over, much like I moved over to MP3 when everybody was blathering on about minidiscs. I hope that BD follows the same fate.

HD DVD was the better format. This debunks the old “In order to maximise profits companies will have to listen to their customers” lie that capitalist spin doctors have been feeding us since the 40’s.

Stick it to the man

I am utterly astonished by this… No, wait, I’m not.

All it really means is that no-one is really buying standalone players and they wont until they become reasonably priced.
