In the nicest way, have you bought that HD-DVD player recently?? Can you take it back?? you know they are the betamax of the DVD wars.......

"Much like the VHS vs. Betamax format war during the late 1970s and early 1980s, HD DVD was in a "format war" with rival format Blu-ray Disc to determine which of the two formats would become the leading carrier for high-definition content to consumers. In 2008, major content manufacturers and key retailers began withdrawing their support for the format. Toshiba's withdrawal from the format ended the high definition optical disc format war, effectively making rival Blu-ray the dominant format for high definition video discs. The HD DVD Promotion Group dissolved on March 28, 2008."
