HD-DVD pays $150 million to ‘win the war’ against Blu-ray.

Let us be the first to say that it’s a big waste of money. Not because HD-DVD might win, it’s because they are bidding and paying for an already obsolete technology. The winner is Apple TV.

Do you think in the next several years it will take to settle this war out that the world will stand still? Or do you think that an itunes like site will show up allowing full HD downloads legally of all your favorate movies?

Broadcast the HD Movie via a Wi-Fi network to my HD TV and bingo…. people will be asking ‘what was Blu-ray or HD-DVD’ in a few years. The technology already exists for this, Apple is already putting it together and will continue to increase this to HD quality. The pricing for this will go down to the point where it will be on par with an HD-DVD player. Then you have it.. A war that was lost by both the winner and loser.

Does it really matter if the TRS-80 or the Commodore 64 win when everyone is starting to buy a dual core?
