Warner Starts HD Format War on a New Front: China

[admin]

With the format war that Warner abruptly ended little more than a year past, the studio has now announced an unfathomable move: revive the corpse of HD-DVD in the China Blue High Definition (CBHD) format. When I ran across this bit of news, all I could think was that this is some crazy stuff to be sure. After settling in with the victorious Blu-ray to satisfy all my HD needs, I was not expecting another studio backed format war quite so soon.

So can these new discs be played on the HD DVD players?

If not, then who cares?

I'm not buying anymore of these HD players or HD discs anyway - I'm renting them on Netflix.

This was expected. China has a large market.

On the other hand, this could be an early April's Fool

They give us toys made out of lead; we give them HD-DVD. Seems like a fair trade to me

Great article, David.

Instead of fumbling through a lot of words, I'll just say that I agree with what you've written.
