Warner drops HD DVD.

It's funny how the same week that HD DVD is given its death blow, Microsoft shifts its focus entirely to downloading media. All the same shills that Microsoft paid to write blog posts for HD DVD, suddenly realize that the format war was pointless in the first place because we won't have any more physical media. These guys are predictable as clockwork.

Their news mouthpieces are all saying they were both irrelevant anyway now and all their paid bloggers are echoing the same thing. Not even an "oops, shouldn't have been telling everyone to buy buy buy HD DVD."

The one thing I didn't predict was how all the HD DVD die-hards are now swearing off HDM altogether, and say they're waiting for downloads. It appears that HD DVD did exactly what it was intended to.

Watched G4 last night for the CES show... they had a discussion on the format war. The advice was that Blu-ray is now going to win... but of course, the host pointed out he prefers to just download on his Xbox. That female host suggested a PS3 might have games he'd want to play and he denied it... lol.

Actually she said the equivalent of "You can watch movies because there aren't any games" . I was watching and flipped her off but at the same time my heart wasn't behind it. I still want to do dirty things to Olivia Munn.
 
Well G4 is obviously owned by Microsoft, but it's not like you can expect any sort of serious journalism from a dedicated gaming outlet.

Right now the question is.... retailer backlash against Microsoft? Who loses out more than Walmart and Best Buy if physical media goes away? PS3, in a way, represents the last physical media, and Xbox 360 represents the digital future. If you're Walmart, who do you push?
 
that's a woman in that web blog pic? >.>

We all do as well as Kristin Holt if she wasn't so skinny. Maybe tape over Morgan Webb's mouth while doing her from behind.


Otherwise G4 sucks.

I dismissed that blog at the first mention of Comcast.

Also Kevin Per fuck it I don't know how to spell his last name he's a joke. Adam Sessler is tolerable.
 
Great, just when I finally buy an XBox HD-DVD player with Transformers and the HEROES SEASON 1 boxset this christmas...

I feel your pain bro.. I did the same damn thing. This would probably explain why there was a sale on Amazon.com pricing the X360 HD-DVD player @ 70 bucks. I saw it as MS's last stab at getting HD-DVD out there. :shok:
