why does everyone think microsoft cared about HD DVD?
RE: The War is Over. The Winner is... - Roan - Feb. 18, 2008
They didn't care about HD-DVD at all.
Their ultimate goal was to push digital distribution and judging from the sales numbers, I think they made the right choice for high-def movies.
Disc-based formats are on the way out period, whether they be high-def movies, games or whatever.

I hear this a lot, but I don't think we're going to see the end of optical media any time soon. HDD space and bandwidth just aren't there yet.

I don't mean to say they are going to be completely obsolete in the near future, but I don't foresee optical media enjoying the amount of market share it once did.

This isn't relevant to the topic at all.
But while we're on the trolling spree, I suppose I can contribute. Yeah, you can play online for free, but how many games are actually worth playing? Call of Duty and maybe Warhawk? Not to mention the PS3's service is a mess. No unified friend's list, no standard voice chat, no XMB support during online games... Sure it's free, and while I think paying for XBL is stupid, I don't really mind that much because it's not expensive ($50 for a year is not bad at all) and the system has all of these things that I'd expect in an online environment. When and if PSN ever catches up with XBL I'll gladly let you troll wherever you feel like, but right now saying you play online for free as a plus would be like me saying that friend codes rock. It may be free, but the service still sucks.
And besides, it's not like Microsoft was pushing HD-DVD as a huge selling point for the 360. Unlike the PS3, a hi-def movie format being successful isn't going to make or break the 360.

Yeah Roan wait a few more months k? You'll see all of that soon enough.
Anyway, I think this is gonna help push sales for PS3 as the Blu Ray player on the PS3 is cheap and one of the best out right now. I mean why not buy a PS3 with Blu Ray and get all the extras as well!

It's officially over guys, Toshiba admitted they will be ceasing production by March 2008.

Double post but I DO NOT CARE THIS IS WORTH IT.
Apparently Microsoft wants to get rid of their 360 HD-DVD players. Their timing couldn't have been worse.

This was taken on the 360 dashboard while I was on Xbox Live just a few minutes ago.
I couldn't help but post it; it's just too awesome to pass up. hahahaha
Just in case you can't read it it says:
"HD-DVD Player New Low Price $129.99" and underneath that it says "Get 5 Free HD-DVDs with purchase"
lmfaoooo
RE: The War is Over. The Winner is... - Blue - Feb. 22, 2008
brad: no, free stuff is the antithesis of suck
anyway, I always, after comparing the two, saw Blu-ray as the best. being that with the most storage space (60-+gb) i figured it would have the longer-longevity. kinda was a big assumption to be based on that only, but also there seemed to be better movies out for Bluray. I was only dissapointed to see hd-dvd Transformers.
anyway its over and now when we all upgrade to 720p or 1080p we will know what to buy.
btw i agree that optical media likely won't have the same market share, but i think the medium is important, as it is a physical storage device that isn't erased by ie a virus. Still can be snapped in half but...
lol @ at xbox hddvd liquidation
RE: The War is Over. The Winner is... - sam's temp - Feb. 22, 2008
