RE: xbox hd dvd player
ORIGINAL: Blue Fox
It's not the fact that Blu-ray is getting stronger and stronger. It's the fact that Blu-ray already won (about a month ago.) Once Warner Bros. signed exclusively to Blu-ray, it was THE deathblow to HD DVD. At that point, it could have gone either way, but once Warner Bros. signed, Blu-ray now had 75% of the studios.
Toshiba announced defeat of HD DVD. Walmart is no longer carrying HD DVD as of June, same goes for Best Buy and Circuit City.
So if anyone asks, Blu-ray has won (largely due to their deep pockets). I'm not happy about it at all. I would have much rather have seen HD DVD win since it was the inexpensive, more dependable and upgradeable format. But whomever was running the marketing for HD DVD deserves to be fired. THAT is why they failed so badly.........extremely poor marketing.
