You think that this is bad? Wait until they attempt to force digital output (with Copy protection) only audio specification on the world, then the blood will start to boil.
Also take note: The current pricing structure for the technology won't last. The high prices you see now are only really for the fools who adopt the technology early. Once this becomes more mainstream, you'll be able to find a HDCP TV for much much less and the HD-DVD box will cost the same as a regular DVD player. Until movies start to convert to hi-def cameras, there is no real need for the HD-DVD format. The only really cool factor is that you can hold more video content on one disc, so you can see The Lord of the Rings on one DVD instead of two (with the bonus content as well) Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Some conspiracy theorists have come up with some interesting ideas suggesting that Microsoft doesn't want either format to win. They announce support for HD-DVD, but all that does is buy Toshiba more time with it's format, thus prolonging the battle between the two formats. From what I understand Microsoft is pushing for streamed HD video on demand rather than optical media.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
