From our front-page news:
They say that the early-bird catches the worm, but that might not be the case for Toshiba. Despite coming to market with their HD DVD format three months before Sony's Blu-ray, many believe that the format is now en route to death. Much of this has to do with the recent news that Warner Brothers is abandoning HD DVD for Blu-ray, and there is no mistaking it... that was a huge blow.
Well, depending on who you ask, this is either a good thing or a bad thing. For HD DVD fans, it's truly ridiculous and unfair. Some fans are so bummed about Warner's recent decision, that they've created a petition pleading with them to reverse their decision. So far, the support has been fantastic, with well over 10,000 signatures added to the pile. What if you hate HD DVD? Don't stress, there's a petition for you as well.

HD-DVD is more alive than ever, with cheaper hardware prices, and better technological capabilities, both of which are better for the consumer. I guess Warner feel higher prices and less features are better. The only thing Blu-Ray has going for it is 20GB of extra storage space, and a big name like Sony backing it up. HD-DVD on the other hand has PIP, web-enabled features, in movie menus, and much more. And if extra space is needed, use another disc, big deal.
