Things that never really took off

Okay not be all and end all but keeps it simple

Nowhere does it claim better quality.

Not according to what i read at the time

Most reviews from the time will confirm it. Also, HD DVD's were moving on to a 51gb capacity. The menu screens were slicker through using Java.

If the shitBOX would have had a built in HD DVD drive then that format would have won hands down.

Wrong.

Look around the 'net further and you'll find better answers regards quality.

What about the other article?

Both articles were about PC compatibility, which never happened. To get support you needed either Cyberlink or TotalMedia. Trust me, I know, I bought a combo drive which was an excellent purchase which still sees good use today even though I now have a PS3 as well. As far as I can see Microsoft only ever backed it with words. If they'd properly backed it, they would have put HD DVDs in their machines and I'm pretty certain it would have won because the 360 dominated in those early years. They didn't choose their horse, but if they had, they have pocket rockets which probably would have decided the format war in HD DVD's favour. I just don't get talk of the wrong horse for this reason. They didn't back a horse but if they had it most likely would have won.

I did before and I have now. Its no good 3 years in to a life span saying we will inctrease the capacity. Its too fucking late. The quality was the same in the end and capacity won. Sony could of moved Blu Ray to 100GB if needed so HD DVD was fucked
Its obvious you backed the loser and lost out and i feel for you but dont make stuff up

Both articles referred to them as "backing" it as they were my search words.

I'm not playing anymore as it's getting tedious and there are other people to shout at before bed.
