Raising the white flag: HD DVD Promotion Group dissolved - Image 1This piece of news doesn't come as a shocker as everyone's been expecting it for a while now, but it's one thing to expect something to happen, and quite another to see it happen.

This is the latest, and most likely the last we'll hear from the format war: the HD DVD Promotion Group has officially dissolved, little more than a month after Toshiba withdrew its support.

Their website now only contains a short and sharp message announcing the group's dissolution, and a few links that direct us to other groups for HD DVD products.

Here we close the final chapter to the format war. Already we're seeing the effects on the console wars, with Blu-ray leading the charge and the PlayStation 3 gaining momentum. We'll probably see more of its effects in the future. Check back for updates.

I wonder if this is the pricks who did the whole 'Complete HD Offer' thing...I sent my reciept and everything the needed in on Dec.27, they've cashed the check and I still haven't gotten my 5 'free' HD DVD's. I'm quite angry about it because that offer is 70% of the reason I bought the player when it was on sale :(

» Then get off your ass

And file multiple complaints with the Better Business Bureau and make angry calls to their support line. That should get you your free DVDs



This is why you pay for things with a credit or debit card, if the pricks don't put up their end of the deal you refute the charge.

It took me 4+ months before I received mine. They just take their sweet @ss time.
