"It also comes with an HDMI cable, though the player provides component-video and composite-video outputs too. There's a 10/100Mb/s Ethernet port on the back for linking HD DVDs to online content, and both digital optical and analogue audio outputs."
I thought that the HDMI spec was designed to provide a protected path for the purposes of DRM ? What's that ? No DRM on HD-DVD ? Go ahead, plug in that ethernet cable - do ya feel lucky, punk ?
And besides that, more of the available HD content is available on Blu-Ray.
Not that I'm interested in "content" anyway. But for my purposes (PC backup etc) Blu-Ray is the only choice. As noted by Sampler, LG already do a BR writer, which allows HD-DVD playback, BR DL writing, BR rewriting, and DVD/cd writing and rewriting. So for my purposes 50GB on a disc is pretty good. Not to mention that I am unable to find an HD-DVD writer for the PC that I can actually buy, even if I were to accept the 20GB loss of storage per disc, and the fact that there seems to be no rewritable disc version.
And some shills claim HD-DVD is better - lol
BTW Amazon have 839 HD-DVD titles and 1055 Bluray titles available to buy.
And another BTW, vhs won over Beta, because of the recording length available.
Register
QVC and HD-DVD go together well
