CNET: 10 ways HD DVD fails short
People ether love HD DVD or they don't. CNET is the latest in the HD DVD hating club with Ten ways HD DVD falls short. David Carnoy goes through a great list of why HD DVD didn't impress him. Truthfully, he has some good points. But in defense of Toshiba, they just released the player. Most of his complaints are about the player itself, HD-A1, rather then the format itself. Most first generation products have never been flawless. (i.e. PSP, Xbox 360, MacBook Pro) The best point on the list though? #10: A death of discs. HD DVD was supposed to launch with 30 titles but only three was available on the launch date.
