HD-DVD, you are dead to me.

I just sold my XBOX 360- HD DVD drive on ebay for 50 bucks. Between that and the two discs I included, I wound up taking a 150 dollars bath. Until this very moment Sony hadn't won a format war EVER!

I really liked watching HD-DVD's and I think selling my drive was a mistake. Even if the format is dead, it was still a great up converting player.

I was going to use the money to buy a blu ray player, but they are too expensive and the current players(version 1.0) will not be able to play all the features on the new discs(version 1.1) that will be coming out soon. It's nice to see that Sony treats its early adopters so well.

Maybe physical media storage is dead?
