Ouch...what does that say about the people who bought HD DVD players.

@ Roopy LMFAO your so right. Can Gizmodo please find other topics to write about. Its not like "Oh dont like what Gizmodo writes about then go to another technology blog." Just stop whoring this HD DVD vs blu-ray topic to death. As you can see from my above comment there is nothing intelligent left to say about the HD DVD/Blu-ray topic, its been done to death

But it is still strange to watch this utterly complete collapse. To know that SO much energy and $$$$$$ was put into HD-DVD, then to watch it burst into nothing but ashes... it's just strange.

I sent in one when I got the FYE deal ($50 for HD-DVD unit, $30 FYE MIR, 5 free discs). I figure I'll hock half of them on Ebay and get my $20 for the unit. You can still sent it in (have it postmarked by tommorow)

i doubt it, i honestly don't think downloads will be that great. There are parts of the us where there is only dail up. Besides, I prefer to have an actual physical disc and with my PS3, life is good. now if only metal gear solid can be release faster.

That's a Hi8 player, the format that had it's last gasp the day DV came out. Guess the airlines must have made a big investment 15 years ago since it still seems standard on most planes that don't have on demand services.
