Yeah, that's sad. I read an article about how HD-DVD, while inferior to Blu-Ray in its tech specs, is MUCH more cost-effective for a production line change-over. A process is in place right now that can convert your standard DVD production line into an HD-DVD one in 5 MINUTES!!

Whereas, Blu-Ray requires an entirely new and, thus, costly set up. Bummer. Blu-ray so has it over HD-DVD as far as its possibilities.
Maybe with tech advancements happening as often as they do, Blu-Ray (or a version similar to it) will supplant HD-DVD in the near future.
