Most people that bought HD DVD who purchased players like myself haven't really had the opportunity to get any real value out of the player other than for upscaling standard DVD's.

But thanks for subscribing to the site, I hope you enjoy reading what I have to say in my future posts! I think it's definitely the consumer who have lost out all along with this format war - the company's should have come up with a combined standard from the beginning. Going forward I think that it will definitely take several years before Blu-Ray has a decent penetration of the home video market, even with PS3s coming with a Blu-Ray drive - I think the vast majority of consumers are still perfectly happy with their DVDs, especially given the much cheaper prices in the last couple of years. @Chris – thanks very much for the feedback, it’s alway sgood to hear whether it’s good or bad!

I don't think HD DVD players will get end up soon...That's just my opinion. I think it will need some time for people to get addapted to with new technologies.

The war is over, Blue-Ray has won... anyway, business is business, such risks are always assumed then you developing a new product or something... As I said before - the only ones who 'lost' the war is customers, who already bought their HD-DVD devices at the full price Now I agree, and I saw that R.I.P. announcement on Toshiba’s site.
