...at least that is how history will remember it. :-D]]>Jan 6th 2008 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/toshiba-qosmio-g45-av690-boasts-first-us-laptop-hd-dvd-r-rw-driv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/toshiba-qosmio-g45-av690-boasts-first-us-laptop-hd-dvd-r-rw-driv/Jan 6th 2008 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/toshiba-qosmio-g45-av690-boasts-first-us-laptop-hd-dvd-r-rw-driv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/toshiba-qosmio-g45-av690-boasts-first-us-laptop-hd-dvd-r-rw-driv/
Its just too bad blu-ray is far more abundant and popular with their burnable media and drives. If they at least wanted to exist, that is something they should have been aware of and something they should have capitalized on. I mean, it would make sense with Microsofts backing, which would allow software and media to be distributed on HD-DVD, which of course could include games (Games for Windows).

They dug their own grave. They deserve to lose.]]>Jan 6th 2008 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/toshiba-qosmio-g45-av690-boasts-first-us-laptop-hd-dvd-r-rw-driv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/toshiba-qosmio-g45-av690-boasts-first-us-laptop-hd-dvd-r-rw-driv/
why would anyone even think TWICE about equipping their pc/lappy w/ an hd dvd recorder. Again, time for a lil simile action: it'd be like after sony lost the betamax/vhs player war, they decided to come out w/ a betamax recorder for anyone that wants to record...when vhs recorders had already been out for some time.

no thank you, i'd rather stick to a blu ray burner that would happen to play in my ps3, pc blu ray drive, and all my other friends that dont have the "dead technology"]]>Jan 6th 2008 6:58PM
