So Living Metal, what are your thoughts on the video? Do you agree or disagree with it? Would you have put some different fails on that list? I'm dying for your input!

Saw this yesterday. Seemed strange to say "the $500 price point" and "killing rare to make kinect games" then follow that up with "kinect".

That is basically listing kinect three times. If the "kinect" was removed (as per the latest point), then the kinect couldn't have cost $500, and rare wouldn't have made kinect games.

Also some of those I never heard of. An HD-DVD drive for $200? Yikes.

I have one, for my HD-DVD movie collection of no less than 10 titles! :/ (compared to about 500 blu-rays now)
It came with King Kong (2005) on HD-DVD, what a waste.

I remember hearing about them. I always wondered what would have happened if they made games for them, it would have been the first add-on with games since the Nintendo 64DD I believe.

HD-DVD was the main competitor to Blu-Ray during the format wars of the mid 00's.

When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I don't know. My 360 died again a few years ago (although I did buy a replacement last year for $15, which might fail at any time as well) Instead I've replaced the few good movies with blu-ray versions long ago.

Interesting people don't remember the great format war
https://www.engadget.com/2014/06/07/format-wars-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd/

With a popular conspiracy theory being that MS only backed HD-DVD to slow down blu-ray adoption in favor of digital distribution. Actually it was MS' proprietary HDi that hey wanted to be used on all HD discs instead of the Java based interactive layer of Blu-ray.
