Don't pay full price for the XBOX HDDVD addon

UPDATE: Correction. XBOX HD-DVD will be dumped from the Microsoft product line. Expect to see these with "must go" price tags. In dumpsters, marked as "right-offs" very soon.


Rumor: Microsoft to lower price on HD DVD add on. The rumor mills are flying about what Microsoft will do with it's HD DVD support. Price to hit under $50 in near future for the HD DVD addon drive. Yes the HD DVD content library won't be added to, the same as the BlueRay format anymore, you still might want to pick up one of these to play all the old discount HD DVD content. We say.. forget it! it's still a waste of $50.

                

Will it be a PS3 Blueray or a XBOX HDDVD

Just Commentary: Will BlueRay support be added to the Xbox.
The obvious answer is YES. The when is still up for grabs? Since we now know that HDDVD will be leaving the market "EXIT STORE LEFT". Blueray DVD is now the defacto standard. Microsoft will probably hold out, but eventually they will move to Blueray to support the next generation movie releases.

Maybe SONY won't license the Blueray technology to Microsoft.
Maybe Microsoft will try to extend the HD DVD with promotions of past titles. If you own an xbox then you could always stream Blueray Discs from your computer to the xbox.

Right now like everyone, there are more questions than answers. The only answer I have, is buy a gaming system to play games that you are interested in. If you like Microsoft titles than buy an XBox. If you want a PS3 with Blueray... buy it because you love the PlayStation games.

                

Pass the scotties or puffs! Toshiba holds wake!

Press Release: http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/news/newsarticle.asp?newsid=198

Taps has been heard resonating out of the Toshiba headquarters. The war on which player will reign is over. All hail SONY!!! Blue-ray. HD-DVD will go the way of Beta and Laserdisc. The HD-DVD player might of been the better next-generation video player, but with-out media it was starved into an early grave... RIP HD-DVD 2006-2008.

Question is! Will Toshiba ever make a BlueRay player. That is after Sony has released the rights! Toshiba statement to continue making DVD players is limiting, and I'm sure that as market shift occurs from DVD to Blueray, deals will be struck and players will show up!

                

Warner Bros, Puts nail in Toshiba HD-DVD coffin!

The International Consumer Electronics Show turns out to be a celebration party for Blu-ray, the high-definition format that Sony Corporation backed, and the funeral for rival movie-disc technology HD-DVD by Toshiba Corp.

On Friday Warner Bros. Entertainment, became the last major studio to put out movies in both formats.

It announced it was ditching HD DVD and from May on, would only publish on Blu-ray and traditional DVD.

The decision puts a strong majority of the major studios, five vs two, in the Blu-ray format.

Looks like SONY lost the beta-max war, but will win it's BlueRay campaign.
