It's good to note that last years supporters of HDDVD and the 360 add on are now all for digital downloads.

 

ill come out and sayi never supported hd dvd, i always knew it was a delaying tactic by ms to keep blueray down until more could be made of digital downloads.

ive always felt digital downloads, and a solid state like jumpdrvies was needed fro a real formfactor/ quality enhancment

 

A multi Billion dollar delay tactic. No it was just a fail. MS does that from time to time.

 

well im sure they thought it would last longer, they did not expect movie studios do what is right for the end user, its not like the industry had a good track record of that. they probably thought they cpuld keep it going through 2010 and get a bit of money back hd-dvd was shockingly quick at the start of the year. 

to further this if MS had though hd-dvd was the future, they almost certainly would ahve lobbied for it to get an international standard so it could be used as a legitamet storage and data media for computer users. blueray had already done that, and pending its finalization, it will be aproved.
