Hi-Def War Escalation? Blu-ray Site Hacked
Beginning at around 4pm ET Friday, and continuing intermittently into the afternoon, visitors to the blu-raydisc.com web site were instead sent to the HD DVD camp's lookandsoundofperfect.com web site.
At press time, no one had claimed responsibility for the apparent hack, and there was no official response from either the BDA or the HD DVD Promotions Group.
Now, don't assume anything about this being the work of the HD-DVD camp; most likely it was an HD-DVD fanboy. After all, if it was the HD-DVD camp, you could expect the "look and sound of perfect" to turn into the "look and sound of lawsuit" pretty quickly.

Awesome.. I like their creativity. Yeh its childish but I still like it. Like when I go into best buy and the sales rep tries to tell me blu-ray is the best even thought I know they both used to same codecs. I just do it to get a laugh sometimes.
It's just logical...Blueray is a much better technology with a lot more room to expand. HD-DVD is just for marketing and mass production with the smaller available storage so another larger storage media can be released later on for more profit. HD-DVD is obviously a negative for consumers looking to own media for longer periods without upgrading tech.
The only thing better about blu-ray is the bigger disks. I dont think HD-DVD is sitting there and not devloping for bigger disks themselves they are and at a lower costs to them which means lower costs to us. And that my friend is what consumers see when they go shopping. Guys like us know blu-ray has the potential but joe smoe only sees HD-DVD 299 Blu-ray 599. They look the same too. The main thing i dont like about blu-ray is Sony.. plain and simple.
Hi All
I agree with you Flyin HD-DVD has a fifty fifty chance of winning out for the very good reasons you gave.
