Microsoft official HD-DVD Support

News | February 24, 2008 8:35 am
Yesterday, Microsoft announced made an official statement on their support of the HD-DVD add-on for the Xbox 360. Essentially, they will no longer be making the player, but will continue to offer full warranty support. No surprises here...


As a result of recent decisions made by Toshiba, Hollywood studios, and retailers, Microsoft plans to withdraw from HD DVD. Xbox will no longer manufacture new HD DVD players for the Xbox 360, but we will continue to provide standard product and warranty support for all Xbox 360 HD DVD Players in the market. As we stated earlier, we do not believe this decision will have any material impact on the Xbox 360 platform or our position in the marketplace. HD DVD is one of the several ways we offer a high definition experience to consumers and we will continue to give consumers the choice to enjoy digital distribution of high definition movies and TV shows directly to their living room, along with playback of the DVD movies they already own.

What the hell is the difference between Blu-Ray and HD DVD? I mean come on there is a barely a difference between Standard Definition and HD... I really think we need to focus our efforts on something else that is important, not making more freaking DVD players. (Save the rainforests, man.)
