Toshiba Execs Declare HD DVD Not Dead Yet

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the they're-doing-science-and-they're-still-alive dept.

Lucas123 writes "HD DVD proponent Toshiba remains defiant that its format will not succumb to the mounting tsunami of support for Blu-ray Discs. Akio Ozaka, head of Toshiba America Consumer Products, said at CES today that he was surprised by Warner's decision." It should also be noted that the HD DVD group has cancelled many of their meetings at CES.

    I voted with my money and bought a Toshiba HD-DVD player. It was 300 bucks. Yes, I know I could have bought a ps3. I don't want one.

    I want alot of cool stuff that sony sells, but until they decide to stop fucking their customers I won't buy anything from them.

    It does piss me off that I can't buy certain movies in HD though. But my hd-dvd player will upconvert them so that they're almost as good, and YES I can see a difference. because I have a 50 inch tv.

    Someone should drain the blood from all the sony execs. They'd probably keep right on living since they're heartless bastards anyway. Then the company should be dissolved and the proceeds given to the Ron Paul Campaign fund. Die sony, wither away and DIE!

    "AND I got to play some sweet-ass games that weren't available on the PS3."

    Are those games where you shove something sweet up your ass? Or does some other guy do it for you?

    "and then the ol' HD-DVD drive can go in a closet."

    Sounds like you ought to stay clear of that closet to me, or no more sweet ass games for you.
