No hd-dvd

HD-DVD is long gone.

Nope, look at the format winning in China.

umm..HD DVD is not the winning format in China. CHDVD  which is not the same as HD DVD nor is it the winning format in China, As a matter of fact Blu-Ray is also approved by the chinese govt as an official format for HD in China.

The link says it all.

I was wrong about the laser though.

it's still not the winner and most likely never will be:

The ultimate spread of the new format will be controlled partly by its adoption by American movie studios. Of the six major studios, only Warner Brothers is currently shipping its library on CBHD, leaving WB titles and domestic Chinese films as the only legitimate CBHD content.

this has been going on since even before last year:

the very fact that Blu-Ray has 10% of the HD market in China say's alot.

CHDVD is just like DVD great for Pirates not so good for the studio's
