HD DVD is the new Betamax

The Hi-def battle has come to an end today as Toshiba drops out. Toshiba has been handed a series of major blows for HD DVD from movie studies and retailers in the recent weeks. Warner Brother’s decision last month, to only carry Blu-ray was the death blow.

Sony must be feeling good today. They are trying to erase the loss to VHS in the 1980s.

So I am sure you will see a tone of deals on HD DVD players and HD movies, but is it really worth it?

This youtube video is in German but has sub-titles. It’s a spoof on the Bu-ray HD DVD war and it’s end using Hitler’s Germany.
