Toshiba has pulled the plug in HD-DVD. There are a lot of proud new owners of the new generation of Betamax players.

Great, now I have a feeling that there is going to be a new version of the 360. Hopefully games can now be longer.

well, at least I only paid $80 for my HD DVD player...now I just gotta be quick to jump on the sales when they close out HD DVD media lol

also if you want your current DVDs to be upscaled to look good you're gonna need a HD DVD player anyways lol.
