engadget writers are all hating on the hddvd and its combo capabitlities. lets see if bluray can produce a combo disc. your shitty bluray have won with the help of warner and fox, but bluray have always been inferior to bluray thats why you f@ggs were always hating on hddvd and the fact that it had some of if not the best movie studios on the planet. hhddvd will live on in my living room and basement. I wont buy a bluray until it is comparible to hddvd; they (sony) still have ways to go before they can equal the likes of hddvd. and for you engadgethd how can you call yourselves hd when your'e bias. this site discusses me.
Of course this site "discusses" you. We all love to "discuss" crazy rants like yours and make fun of your absolute blind devotion to a dead format. it's crazy fanboys like you that make all these death of HD DVD posts amusing.
BTW, spellcheck is your friend.
Who wants a combo-disc anyway? People who wanted the HD-DVD version didn't want the DVD version, and people who wanted the DVD version didn't want to pay the premium for the HD-DVD version! It was a stupid idea.
Blu Ray was capable of combo disks. JVC announced the technology in 2004:

Why they never got used in production is open to debate. Maybe it cost too much or maybe there were issues making the process production ready.
Whatever the reason, the tech existed but it wasn't used. As to why HD DVD used it... maybe they wanted to appeal to DVD owners, or as likely consumers were more wary of the format's future and the fallback to DVD was extra reassurance.
Either way, a fat load of good it did HD DVD.
Too bad the HD DVD side of the combo didn't have enough storage space for the director's cut in HD. That's why BR is better and why it we needed it to win. At the end of the both are just storage formats and more storage is better. It's a simply as that. Hopefully you'll come to your senses after a good cry in your basement.
