Yeah, so for those of you who haven't heard yet. Toshiba announced earlier today that HD DVD is offially dead. Basically, that means it's over. Blu Ray is now the de facto HD format going forward.
For those of you who, sadly, chose HD DVD and are effectively screwed by this decision. I might make a few suggestions. One, stop buying HD DVDs like right now. Two, go buy yourself a dual format player to ease the transition pain. Or if you are going to simply delve head first into the HD world and would like to buy a decent Blu Ray player. May I suggest the Playstation 3. Regardless of how you feel about the gaming system aspect of the playstation 3, the fact remains that it's pretty much the cheapest Blu Ray player in existence. It updates itself on a fairly regular basis, and you get a gaming system to boot. Not a bad deal.
Also, for those 360 HD DVD add on owners out there; Don't worry. Microsoft isn't completely stupid. Rest assured they will be releasing a Blu Ray add-on in the not-so-distant future.
Hurray it's over!
