He also forgot to add that it was necessary to add Blu-Ray to inflate the number of Blu-Ray players sold cuz otherwise they wouldn't have beaten HD-DVD

I dont know if the PS3 is the main reason why HD-DVD is dead. I think it was the studios who fell back from supporting HD-DVD and joined the Blu Ray side that brought Toshiba to stop production of HD-DVD players, discs, etc, with anything involved with Toshiba's HD-DVD tech.

no HD-DVD is dead because Blu Ray players were selling faster than HD-DVD ones (thanks in large part to the PS3 sales) and alot better marketing and moneyhatting. and to top it off SONY paid $500 Million dollars to warner bros to inflict the fatal blow on HD-DVD.
