Well not exactly dead now, but soon will be killed!!!. Last week Toshiba announced their decision to stop producing more HD DVD players, and today Microsoft also announced about decision to stop supporting HD DVDs. If you think in the ‘Gandhiyan’ way it’s a very good decision. Nice for consumers and very nice for the companies. There is only one format no confusion in selecting the format when you buy high definition DVDs, but what about **** me???? I have spent 120 quid on a brand new Toshiba HD DVD player. Oh my god, what I’ll do with it now. But I made vice decision there, although I am bit unlucky that there is no future for HD, my DVD player can upscale the normal DVDs, and so I can get near HD experience. Anyways the blue ray players are very hot to touch in the market now J(they are very expensive for me). So I am happy with HD DVD player now, and to be honest it was good deal when I bought it, it comes with 7 HD DVD titles… good isn’t it ? I am not expecting answer from you, I know the answer, its YES.
