HD-DVD is as good as dead?
With warner backing Blu-ray (which i have also mentioned in the Audio/Visual Channel) and only Universal and Paramount backing HD-DVD (and could they be defecting soon...), does that mean the death of HD-DVD?
Many are saying yes.

Live Stuff : CES - is HD-DVD dead?
Old news? Yes!
Wrong section? Probably- should this not be in the AV section?
This happened just before CES and was the reason HD-DVD withdrew their speech.
Not around too often!
I know it's a month old or so, but could'nt find anything in the sony section what with ps3's having a Blu-ray drive, and not a great deal mentioned elsewhere apart from the ces bit.Old news? Yes!
I did write that i already mentioned this in the A/V channel, and at the moment there is hardly an abundance of new threads and my fellow ps3 owners should be made aware of the situation of Blu-ray. There are many ps3 owners that just browse the gaming forum, and as all of our ps3's have a Blu-ray drives it does'nt hurt being in the sony channel.Wrong section? Probably- should this not be in the AV section?

Most people been posting there since. Makes sense even if its just had to keep the threads now classic proclamation "title" bumped for a laugh
Not news, been around for ages. Does not mean that HDDVD is going fold over and die.
Multi-format is still what it looks like for the near to medium term.

i'd say blu ray will clinch it now which is a shame as hd dvd is better for the consumer im told.
the only reason this annoys me is blu ray films seem to be a bit pricier than hddvd i dont have a hd dvd player or blu ray player so i havent personally lost out.
as for the fact i own a 360, im sure ms could quite easily develp a blu ray drive for it.
hmm, you sure?
I find that most blu-ray films are cheaper generally than hd-dvd...
couple of quick examples....
Newish film 300
MovieTyme - 300 DVD - Action / Adventure £15.99
v
MovieTyme - 300 DVD - Action / Adventure £17.99
older film T2
MovieTyme - Terminator 2: Judgement Day DVD - Sci-Fi / Fantasy £10.99
v
MovieTyme - Terminator 2 DVD - HD-DVD £19.99
tbh now no im not, i made my original statement from when i was browsing my local hmv a few weeks ago but ive just had a look on their website n prices are roughly the same if not a lil cheaper on the blu. strange.
You must of known something else was in the air when you started this thread gtech

Who'd have thought it, Sony might actually win a format war for once.
