Best Buy are the latest to dump HD DVD.

All of this fighting over an almost obsolete idea, buying a physical disc. We will be downloading the latest HD flicks onto our thumb drives by next year, and plugging them into a USB port on the XBox or PS3 for playback, or our TVs will Wi-Fi themselves up to an HD stream, or some Media Center thing will take on that job. If you don't play games, you can probably count on dust gathering on your disc tray going forward.

The author of the article wasn't trying to be funny. Blockbuster have sent loads of DVDs (HD or normal I don't know) to the troops in Iraq.

PS3 has been lukewarm at best until the recent price cut, putting its MSRP where it should have been at launch time...

Anyway, here's hoping for cheap used HDDVDs from Netflix before I cancel my service..

Can you not write an article without injecting your anti-military bias into the mix? I'm a serving Marine who's done two tours in Iraq. We are not "screwed anyway." Unless you've been there yourself and seen the situation with your own eyes, you have no business rendering judgment on who's winning this fight.

Other than that, it's a good article. No need to grind your own political axe. Report the facts and leave your bias out of it.

[This may have been a misunderstanding as to who's screwing who. The article has been edited to show the reference to Iraq refers to Blockbuster's recent attempt to make use of its HD-DVDs by shipping them out to the desert - MOD]

Was that a joke at the end of this article?
I mean I don't support the war in Iraq. But if that was a joke about the troops being screwed for being in Iraq, it wasn't funny.
