This week my new HD-DVD player from Toshiba, that I bought earlier this month, was dropped from many retailers, effectively killing the format. Today InformationWeek daily had this quote:
Most people are happy just buying a better DVD player, instead of spending $350 or $400 for Blu-ray.

It’s too bad, because that’s exactly why I bought the $199.99 HD player — I needed a replacement for our ten-year-old DVD player and didn’t want to spend $700.00 for a player that would play both formats.
