High-Def Disc Interactivity Debuts on HD DVD

An anonymous reader writes "Next to picture quality, interactivity has been touted as one of the key selling points of the next-gen disc formats — unlike standard def DVD, both HD DVD and Blu-ray are capable of delivering truly interactive experiences. This past Tuesday, Universal Studios released 'Fast and the Furious: Toyko Drift' on HD DVD with an interactive feature they've dubbed 'U-Control,' delivering the first true on-the-fly, user-controlled supplements to a pre-recorded video format."

The only people who still care about the dead HD-DVD format are the Microsoft astroturfers over on the avs forum...

The only 'chance' HD-DVD still has is an expensive and clunky addon to a console, the Xbox 360, that is dead in two of the three major regions, Japan and Europe, and is selling worse, some 400k at similar points in its shelf life, than its preceding console, the Xbox.

Most stores aren't even stocking HD-DVD players any more or at best moving them off in the back with the 720p TV sets.
