02.02.08HD DVD May Be Dead, But It’s Still a Good DealGiven the recent NPD numbers that prove Blu-ray is seeing incredible post-CES success, I think I'm ready to give up any hope on HD DVD winning this format war. While I still believe it's the superior format (see some of my previous posts), it's obvious that marketing and corporate manuevering mattered more than a quality product when it came to deciding a winner. So HD DVD is dead. Finished. Kaput. At the same time, I'm seeing some incredible deals popping up while retailers rush to get rid of their HD DVD stock.

01.05.08What the Warner Move to Blu-Ray Means for HD DVDSo the news is out, and the rumors are true. Warner has officially decided to drop the HD DVD format for new releases beginning April 2008 -- giving a major studio advantage to the Blu-ray camp.

Since Daily Bits is a technology blog, most of the work that I would have normally published here will be going there. I don't see the need to abandon this blog entirely yet though. There are still many topics ...

09.15.07My First Week of HD-DVDAs I've recently mentioned, I recently stumbled onto a great Amazon deal for the Toshiba HD-A2--the cheapest model in their second generation of HD-DVD players. The player arrived last week before any of my three free HD-DVDs so I rushed to Best Buy after worked and picked up the Goodfellas HD-DVD. Armed with my cheap HDMI cable from Newegg (which thankfully arrived the same day), I cleared some space in my home entertainment setup and found a cozy home for the A2. As for the HD-DVD experience, I was floored by the quality of Goodfellas. For a first generation HD-DVD ...
