- erad222, on 02/20/2008, -4/+111Or why not just buy a ***** of probably extremely cheap HD-DVDs and enjoy what you can?
- swany1012, on 02/20/2008, -6/+90Quit the Engadget HD DVD spam
- bwizard, on 02/20/2008, -2/+75I think I will watch a vhs of me watching my hd dvd player which is an hd video of me watching beta.
- DiggzDE, on 02/20/2008, -2/+64Play HD-DVD movies in it.
- tetfsu, on 02/20/2008, -0/+48Number 5 is alive... NO DISASSEMBLE!
- gcnaddict, on 02/20/2008, -2/+49LASERS. THE THING HAS A HIGH POWER BLUE LASER
CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL, but mounting a blue laser on top of a shark is cooler. - FonixDunMeGood, on 02/20/2008, -15/+54Dugg for #8. Buy a few dozen of 'em and build a little hut for your Blu-ray player.
- hdeck, on 02/20/2008, -1/+38last time i checked, my hd-dvd player was still functioning just fine, so i fail to see how anyone could call it "defunct"
it still makes a great dvd player - mykalimba, on 02/20/2008, -4/+37Wait, you mean all of the HD DVD players out there aren't going to just stop working all of a sudden?
/sarc - vtbarrera, on 02/03/2009, -1/+29Actually, I have a better idea. Use you HD-DVD player to play HD-DVDr discs burned with downloaded HD movies originally ripped from BDs from torrent sites.
- schavira, on 02/20/2008, -7/+34Somebody bought an HD-DVD player...
- chudgoo, on 02/20/2008, -3/+29THIS JUST IN!
All HD-DVD movies are completely unplayable!
wtf engadget.... - Darcine, on 02/20/2008, -3/+23I didn't realize my HD-DVD drive was going to stop working now that Blu-ray won...
Honestly, I don't understand the big deal. I can still watch all of the HD-DVD movies I have already purchased. - elpayo, on 02/20/2008, -0/+20Is it S-VHS that you taped off your LaserDisc player?
- hipnerd, on 02/20/2008, -10/+30Sure, if you're a 12-year-old. Did Toshiba take a crap in Engadget's Corn Flakes or something? I mean this is getting ridiculous. I don't know why they are so determined to piss on HD-DVD's grave, but it's getting more than a little old.
- garfonzo, on 02/20/2008, -1/+17dugg for "cruise control for cool"
- Malevolant, on 02/20/2008, -2/+16I love Engadget but what's with all of the HD DVD posts from them?
I realize HD DVD is done, but we're a bit past when all of this stuff was cute and funny.
Now it's just posting the same story from different angles. I hope the HD DVD posts go the way of the HD DVD player and that would mean they are dead also. - Replenish0, on 02/20/2008, -4/+17What the *****? Why do people think the second HD DVD lost they became obsolete, they still ***** word. I'm still going to use mine since most of the movies aren't even on Blu-Ray yet...
- garfonzo, on 02/20/2008, -2/+15these type of comments always have a mysterious ??? step involved.
- likwidfuzion, on 02/20/2008, -6/+181. Sell your HD-DVD collection
2. ???
3. Profit - SwedishNinja, on 02/20/2008, -1/+13Since when is it defunct? Just because they're not making any more HD DVD movies doesn't mean it magically stops working.
- Nightwish224, on 02/20/2008, -4/+16SHUT UP ABOUT THIS ALREADY!!!
- kurtwinter, on 02/20/2008, -0/+12Congratulations Sony, after an almost infinite number of proprietary failures, you've finally sold a winner. Unfortunately, this race is more like picking whose suicide machine is better.
- inactive, on 02/20/2008, -2/+14stop kicking this dead horse already.
- erad222, on 02/20/2008, -2/+13Please jump off the nearest bridge.
- spudnic, on 02/20/2008, -1/+12It makes me sad that people get as emotionally invested in something as trivial as this the way you obviously are.
- kidal25, on 02/20/2008, -0/+1109-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0
It's still compatible with Blu-ray. Lets explore Pandora's box. - TheShom, on 02/20/2008, -1/+12Dugg for #7: "Put it in a time capsule, just to confuse future generations."
- expertninja, on 02/20/2008, -0/+11Actually, it's both.
"HD DVD was designed to be the successor to the standard DVD format and is derived from the same underlying technologies. Since all variants except the 3x DVD employed a blue laser with a shorter wavelength, it can store about 3ΒΌ times as much data per layer as its predecessor (maximum capacity: 15 GB per layer instead of 4.7 GB per layer)." - Wikipedia - Thorpe, on 02/20/2008, -1/+11Xbox 360: Primary purpose - play games.
- wTheOnew, on 02/20/2008, -1/+10We're a little confused aren't we?
- timlopez, on 02/20/2008, -1/+1009-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b....
Oh wait, that matters even less now... - quomen, on 02/20/2008, -2/+11I'm going to name my son "09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0"
- sgtbutterscotch, on 02/20/2008, -0/+8Nah, that's just what happens when jokes get stale.
- simplicityiskey, on 02/20/2008, -0/+8Wouldn't it be something if you did turn it on and got a message on the screen, "Sorry, we lost. It's been fun."
- XStatic, on 02/20/2008, -0/+7Top of the list should be, burn 3xDVD with your existing cheap DVD burner and low cost DVD-R media and create your own HD content from home movies, TV, downloaded content, etc. Burn about 1 hour of HD per disk.
Here is one how to:

- phreak22, on 02/20/2008, -0/+6#4 Would work at Wal-Mart
- BingoPower, on 02/20/2008, -0/+6"Lets explore Pandora's box"
....I really took that out of context.... - davidrools, on 02/20/2008, -1/+7PS3: Primary purpose - BluRay movies.
seriously. - borez, on 02/20/2008, -0/+6Now if only it had played lazerdiscs and DiscoVision.
- ElBeh, on 02/20/2008, -18/+2311) Find out the answer to the ultimate question: "Will it blend?"
- mykalimba, on 02/20/2008, -1/+6>acting all high and mighty 6 months ago talking about how it can do this and it can do that
Hrmmm... never heard a Blu-ray fanboi sound anything like this?
>it sounds as if i'm being a douche
Yep. - Rockmaninoff, on 02/20/2008, -0/+5You should also be listening to your MiniDisc player.
- BingoPower, on 02/20/2008, -0/+5Check out Southpark - Underpant Gnomes, you'll suddenly find yourself strangely illuminated.
- tehbored, on 02/20/2008, -1/+6How powerful is the laser in an HD-DVD player? If it's as powerful as the one in a DVD burner, you can use it to mad a laser pointer.
- BRODEL, on 02/20/2008, -1/+5That's why I want one. It can also play games, but we're waiting for them to be developed I guess...
- ernasty10050, on 02/20/2008, -2/+6Silly masterwalls69, Xbox 360 can download HD movies straight to its hard drive and play them back in minutes.
- ElBeh, on 02/20/2008, -0/+4!
