i wish hd dvd would just roll over and die already you got paramount you got universal seem like you had warner too and came out with lower prices seemed like a firesale to me... die already die!!!! we dont need this format war.. sony shoulda just payed off toshiba from the start on an agreement or whatever

Em actually Sony should have not gone against the DVD forum and create a new format when HD DVD had been approved by the DVD forum.  But of course Sony is ruled by greed and so had to create a new format as it has done countless number of times.  Of course Sony is finally going to win a format war after several attempts but at the cost of the console war. 

Uh ,look ,its true the DVD forum approved the HD DVD as the succesor of the DVD back in 2003 but it was after a bitter voting that finished 6 to 4 and with the four against being the bigger companies out there .Besides ,nearly all the DVD forum members are backing BR now .Toshiba has had a lot to do blocking the agreements for a unified plattform due to "his " being the approved one .But wich legitimity gives HD DVD the endorsement of the DVD forum when nearly all the DVD forum members (excepting Toshiba and LG )are actively producing and marketing the BR player ?
