And warner didn’t put the final nail to HD DVD’s coffin. They actually killed HD DVD and then others like best buy, wal mart, etc. put the final nails to the coffin.

Actually, Warner sided with Blue-ray for 500 Millions $

For the uneducated Blue-ray fans out there, I just wanted to tell you that what determines 1080p or 7.1 sound is the software used. Do you remember the embarrassing blu-rays released in 2006 and early 2007? Yeah, it used mpeg2 codecs, instead of the newer and better VC1 codec, which HD DVD used from day 1.

HD DVD has always been the superior format, though bluray has one distinctive advantage: disc space. Though, if you go to hidefdigest and check blue-ray reviews, you’ll quickly notice that practically none has any bonus that DVD versions don’t, while HD DVD had bonus NEXT GEN features from day 1.

“Universal and Paramount the only studios left on HD-DVDEADâ€™s payroll.”

Only like the biggest producers ever?

I think disc size does matter…
remember VCD?
no? that’s because nobody gave a shit.
vcd (from what i remember) had exactly the same superiorities over VHS, but nobody ended up buying it…
then DVD came, with larger storage space and no need for 2 discs a movie…
and then VHS slowly faded away.

I’m just glad that this damned “war” is almost over. The three or five or whatever minute percent of the consumer market that cares about the next-gen movie format can finally quit their bickering and move on while everyone else enjoys their DVD’s for the next five years or so.

You know what both formats are dead! More and more people download movies and shows from the Internet. That’s what I do.

Guess he needs to strike of that logic wins over money hats comment, since it has now be reported that it took 500 Million from Sony for Warner to go exclusive. Also that barely better than DVD comment is lauagble, DVD is only 10GB while HD-DVD has 20GB more and 5GB more than many BD releases and while it is locked at 36M that is still much higher than DVD.
