HD-DVD Blows More Cash with a Super Bowl Ad
Is this a case of throwing good money after bad? The HD-DVD Group is spending loads of cash on an HD-DVD Super Bowl ad.
The ad will feature Toshiba's three lowest-priced players, the HD-A3, A30, and A35, and is the biggest advertising move for any high-def disc medium to date, reports Home Media Magazine.
According to industry reports, the 30-second TV spot is expected to run Toshiba nearly $3 million. It is a crucial move that Toshiba hopes will bring consumers to HD DVD instead of Blu-ray, which has a significant early lead in the format war.
