Too bad the FCC doesn't regulate HD formats, because I'm sure HD DUD would not have met the requirements to be the next generation HD format (e.g. promotion of 1080i players, tiny capacity and low bandwidth, widespread use of lossy audio, excruciatingly long warmup/startup times, etc.), and we'd all be enjoying our favorite movies on Blu-ray this very moment. Oh well, just means we have to wait a little bit longer for HD DUD to disappear, but still, it's disappointing.
Thanks for the suggestion, I wasn't sure if I was leaning toward BlueRay or HD-DVD. I'm now pretty sure I want to see HD-DVD succeed just so that you look like an even bigger fool. You do realize that HD-DVD and BlueRay are pretty much the same thing. Same video and audio codecs... the disks are a little bit cheaper to produce. I guess that brings out the elitist in you, no HD for the masses, only overly expensive stuff!
I wonder if Wal-Mart carries HD-DVD, if so I'll be picking one up this weekend, I think.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

WTF is wrong with you? This has nothing to do with the format war yet you still post this bullshit.
h4idol; go away. By supporting Blu-Ray in such an assish manner, you are actually supporting HD-DVD.
What a douche.
