Posting this article was pointless. Everyone knows it's over. It is IMPOSSIBLE for HD DVD to EVER in a million years come back from this. They lost the largest retailer in the world.

Bowfiend I don't know if you love Blu ray or if you just like arguing with people.

The problem with gloating is that it makes you look like an immature brat to the other side, and an embarrassing ass to your own kind (in this case, fellow blu-ray fans). So while you have some fun with it, when it's all over, no one likes you anymore.

This is good news? I'll be ready to embrace good news when it's news about BR players going down in price (with profile 2.0) and the movies are affordable to boot. How about good news that benefits everyone, not just news that makes PS3 gamerz feel all warm and fuzzy because they killed of a cheaper alternative.

Are you expecting your BR prize in the mail? (A little Chris Rock humor there).

Then why post it then Nut? Is it gloating, yes I think so, and this is exactly what I am talking about.
We all know and are waiting until tomorrow, when I am sure Toshiba will make an official announcement about what they are going to do. So can we stop with the threads like this one, we already know.

No, they don't. But as long as this stupid format war (ie HD-DVD hanging around on it's death-bed) the longer it takes for movies to be released on blu and stalls the mainstream adoption of the home video market in High Def.

So, like it or not. HD-DVD is D E A D! It hangs around like a cancer impeding the advancement of unification towards a single Hi Def home medium.


Bowfiend, you really need to grow up. Your posts and comments are immature, childish and borderline antagonistic. Who cares who wins the format war? There are other things in life to focus on besides movies and discs. Try some other hobbies for a change and you will become a more well-rounded person. And I hate to tell you this dude but unless you have a time machine and have seen the future having one format won't necessarily speed up mainstream adoption. Nothing in life is guaranteed except "death" and "taxes". Only God can help you deal with the former and you'll need a cpa to deal with the latter.

I have to laugh. Blu Ray movies are affordable. Just don't buy RETAIL. J&R has movies for $11.99 and $15.99. I buy most BR movies on half.com and amazon.com shops. I got Spiderman Trilogy for $28.00 delivered, and Cars for $16.50 delivered. I bought all my Harry Potter BR movies (1-4 for $9.98 EACH $[19.99 BOGOFREE]) Harry Potter 5 for $17 Delivered.

So to say that they are not affordable, you may be right. The places that you are shopping is wrong.

As far as me, whatever. I don't need to explain myself to any of you.

And to the one guy who said nobody likes me anymore. LOL, like I care. Go tell your mommy.

Not sure if this has been posted in another thread...

Wired is reporting that the NHK Japan article about Toshiba ceasing HD-DVD equipment manufacturing has been confirmed by Reuters. This is the first mention of confirmation I've seen. It certainly appears that tomorrow is probably the big day for Toshiba’s official announcement.

Hey Bowfriend

Where can I get those BOGO free Blu-Ray movies? It sounds like such a great deal. Please post the links. Of course, your response should be that we'll never see such deals again because Sony won't need to lower their cost to compete against HD DVD.

Without HD DVD and XBOX 360, you wouldn't have got your PS3 as cheap and those cheap Blu-Ray movies you bought would be about $10-$15 more expensive.

For that fact alone, you shouldn't be celebrating Sony's glorious victory over HD DVD.

LOL, the guy told me that no one here likes me any more. I was being a childish as he.
