And more news that shows this is still far from over. Fox is scaling back blu-ray releases, now that it's clear blu-ray is not much more secure than DVD. Now I know security was why they went with blu-ray in the first place, but it's funny to HD entirely, since the hope of it was to make a secure entertainment experience. |
Fox has just announced a lot of previously unreleased titles in both Europe and Japan. They were waiting for BD+ to be finalized. Is there anything that would make them want to switch to HD-DVD's side at this point anyways? They would just be losing more profits in the long run by prolonging a format war which frightens the consumer.

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
