HD-DVD on the mat. Blu-Ray looking strong.

Chris Mobley  |    |  Tags:  hd-dvd blu-ray  |  Comments (1)
 It was a bad week for HD-DVD.  Engadget HD is reporting unofficial stories that Toshiba has given up.  Two key movie suppliers, Walmart & Netflix,  announced their Blu-Ray only support.

You would think this was bad news for me since I just bought a Toshiba HD-DVD player just a week ago.  I'm not upset though.  You see the player was only $120 US.  The cheapest Blu-Ray player is around $400 US.  Can't afford the latter quite yet, so the HD-DVD player will get me through another 9 months.   It seems that I will be able to find HD-DVD titles for a while, and might even be able to find some good deals.

Since the HD-DVD players are upgradeable, wouldn't it be cool if they figured out a way to upgrade them to be Blu-Ray compatible?  I don't know if it is technically possible, but that would rock.

1 Michael Smelser      Permalink So HD-DVD are going the way of BetaMax and Laserdisc, Huh? I have just started to look at the 2 (HD vs. Blu-Ray). Glad I waited, but for that price I think I will be waiting a little longer.
Thanks for the info.
