Ahh, its over. It’s finally over. Its about time to because HD DVD stopped making DVDs a while ago. The prices of Blue Ray Players are actually rising though, so right now is not the best time to start getting those, but if you need a back up HD DVD player, now is definitely the time. One thing we have to remember is that just because they stopped making HD DVDs, this is no reason to think that the old HD DVDs you bought are going to stop working. In fact, its quite the opposite, there is probably some guy out there who still wants his HD DVDs, maybe you have some movie that he doesnt. Could be that he’s willing to pay more for the scarce HD DVD. Scarcity Rule!!! Anyways, just think about this the next time you’re shopping and don’t see an aisle for HD DVDs.

Well, it’s no surprise that it was going to happen, but the HD DVD Promotion Group officially dissolved today, leaving behind nothing but this terse message directing us to individual “selling agencies.” And so, with literally nothing left of HD DVD, we formally close the sad chapter of consumer electronics history known as the HD Format War, remembering those times when HD DVD rode high, with low prices, more features and less restrictive rights management as its rallying cries, and the rantings of Michael Bay still only the delusional fantasies of a fool. May the resistance live on, and our PS3s always be reminded of a time when their ascension was not guaranteed. Red’s dead, baby.
