HD-DVD: Down For The Count?

This morning online movie rental giant Netflix announced that it would be going BluRay exclusive. If that wasn't enough, later in the day Best Buy announced that it would also be recommending BluRay as the format of choice. This might be the end of the road for the HD-DVD format which has been struggling in the past few months after several major movie studios including Disney and MGM decided to support BluRay exclusively.

If HD-DVD does in fact die, the PS3 will definitely solidify it's BluRay drive as a key selling point. It's also unclear what this will mean for the Xbox 360's HD-DVD Player add-on. Will Microsoft release a BluRay add-on? Will Nintendo go with BluRay in the future? Although this format war may be coming to an end, it will be interesting to see what kind of an impact it will have on the future of gaming.

What Lies Beneath...

Hilary Clinton: Wrong choice for President, not just for gamers.

“Children are playing a game that encourages them to have sex with prostitutes and then murder them,” the senator and former first lady said. “This is a silent epidemic of media desensitisation that teaches kids it’s okay to diss people because they are a woman, they’re a different colour or they’re from a different place.”

Barack Obama doesn't have enough experience points to be President, huh?

Come on America, make the right choice and go with the lower lvl character that's equipped with the Staff of Reason. (+17 charm, -26 bullshit.)
