Acer joins HD DVD Promotional Group
Just days after announcing it's a part of the pro-Blu-ray campaign, Acer hedged its bets by officially joining the HD DVD Promotional Group as well. No stranger to straddling the line in the high def format war, Acer specifically cited plans to continue supporting HD DVD in its laptops, a place where the HD DVD camp claims a 70% market share advantage over its rival. While the HD slapfight continues indefinitely, Acer's got you covered whether you prefer Transformers or Fantastic Four.
Heroes: Season 1 seven-disc HD DVD set previewed at Comic-Con
The HD DVD Promotional Group is on the ground at Comic-Con, with the price drop of the Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on and accompanying 5 free disc promotional offer, with more details of content to expect this holiday season. The Heroes: Season 1 HD DVD boxed set will be available August 28, including HDi features exclusive to the high def release, like a web enabled download center, Heroes Abilities Test, picture-in-picture commentary and others. This is Universal's first release to take advantage of HD-DVD's online capabilities, but it won't be the last. The seven disc package has an SRP of $99.98, and as mentioned earlier, Xbox Live members will be able to download the pilot episode for free before its release.
