HD-DVD Is Dead!

Netflix Blu-rayHD-DVD is dead, so says Netflix! I received this in my email today. It seems that Netflix has declared Blu-ray the winner in the format war. It doesn’t mean much to me since I have both players. In my humble opinion I always saw HD-DVD as the superior format as to what it had to offer compared to Blu-ray. I guess it all came down to whoever could throw the most money around to influence the studios would win. I guess getting one of the four formats to mass adoption was worth throwing all that money around. Having a fourth proprietary format fail would have really hurt Sony as far as being an innovator. The other failed formats being BetaMax, ATRAC and MemoryStick. To this day I still don’t understand why they peddle memory stick format for the majority of their cameras and their PSP.

About the Author

I am in my 40s and have been in the technology industry in one form or another for the past 25+ years. I used to be a big PC guy but over the past couple of years I have switched over to the Macintosh camp. I am passionate about online gaming, it gives me an outlet to channel my stress after a demanding day of work. If there is not a console around to fit the bill a nice bottle of 18 year old Scotch will do just fine.
