HD-DVD is dead for sure now. National Geographic’s new documentary hits video shelves on 4/9 (well before the June break-up date with Warner Bros) and apparently the train ain’t stoppin’ in HD-DVD town. So, what did that June date really mean? Not much, as the only Warner Brothers label still supporting both formats and honoring the dual-format agreement is the BBC.
Okay, Blu-ray cornering the market on naked cannibals with floppy mammaries, might not be the biggest win ever, but from my comfy vantage point over here on the sidelines, it sure looks like the sky is falling on the folks at HD-DVD.
Heck, even Chicken Little is catching himself staring just a little longer at the Blu-ray endowed PS3.
I know I am.

This was worth reporting. Definitely deserved every morsel of those two paragraphs. Glad to you stuck in the obligatory impoverished nations boobies joke too. Couldn’t have see that coming from a mile away. No sir.

The Manka Nanka (blu-ray) is way better that the HD-DVD becase of its capacity video resolution and sound.

Not loving the graphic, but I also don’t love Blu Ray. To date, you can’t tell the difference visually, all you can do is squeeze a few xtra gigs on it. Hollywood still doesnt film their movies digitally, so the size argument doesnt benefit anyone. SOund makes no difference wither. HD-DVD is cheaper to produce, but then Beta was superior and look what happened there.
