Been to youtube eBay and saw that the thing isn't quite cheap as it used to be, why's that? Was it produced in limited quantities?
Nonetheless, HD-DVD's are great for collection purposes.
Also, Xbox 360 HD-DVD Player can be used on a PC/Laptop/etc to read CD/DVD/HD-DVD's.
You can make a really annoying laser out of the diode inside, but that's the only reason I can think of.
I thought those went out of production when it was clear that Blu-Ray won the format war, no?
I thought the same too. Blue-Rays are still way too pricey. I wonder how long the DVD medium will linger around for... maybe another five or so years?
