Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD Not Over Yet

Among things that were new to me: the addition of a "red" 9GB HD format to Blu-Ray that would make initial Blu-Ray content (that fits) even cheaper than HD-DVD. Also, more discussion about managed copy (AACS, BD Plus, and ROM Mark) and iHD (HD-DVD) vs BD-J/Java (Blu-Ray)."

XBOX360 DOES NOT SUPPORT HD-DVD by ergo98 · 2005-11-15 04:29 · Score: 5, Informative

Oh really, and MS support via the 360 for HD-DVD won't have a cancelling effect on this?

This keeps getting stated on here, and it is entirely untrue. People are confused because Microsoft tepidly put their backing behind HD-DVD, yet the Xbox360 actually uses neither - it is standard old school 9GB DVD.
