listen here's the bottom line, HD-DVD didn't work hard and fast enough to keep up with the highdef market. No matter what system you bought for bluray it would adapt to do just about anything the format is made to do, where as HD-DVD didn't, I mean only certain players did certain things, I think the thing that killed it the most was it had a cheaper add on for 360 but it was quite useless as it only did 1080i, no HDMI support, never played TrueHD which was really the only lossless format out there it supported and it wasn't even on this.....what did they expect? even a PS3 will do just about as much as my BD30 will and that is a high end player.

Yup! It's pretty much dead! Once Toshiba officially leaves then look for the other companies to start jumping over to Blu-Ray!
I hope there are tons of HD DVD sales! Can't wait to pick up some awesome bargains.

come again? no BD player(other than the ps3) on the market well support the 2.0 profile, BDA has not sorted their together yet. And will make your BD30 obsolete. (see here how bda cares about early adopters: http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/1...ing-into-appar/ )
The features supposed to be included in the 2.0 have been ready for a while in the hddvd camp and at a much much lower price.
A solid Toshiba A30 player at 160$ has more features than your overpriced BD30.
Its obviously not the technology that killed hddvd because its still miles ahead of the bluray camp.
Its false hype and buisness intrests that killed it, consumers are losers once again.
I will buy only a combo player when it'll hit the 80$ mark point, till then I'll gladly download these movies :) I will never pay for overpriced non complete players, especially for a technology coming from Sony.
