It's true, and not much surprise after Toshiba folded.

But hey, you can't deny they supported HD DVD through and through. They lasted slightly longer then the mother company BEHIND the format. I mean, that deserves some credit I think.

They did fight the good fight, only Paramount has lasted longer :lol: . Hopefully they speed up their catalog releases now, they've been painfully slow recently. In all fairness, likely because they smelt this in the wind.

Hopefully they remaster all of their crappier quality HD DVD releases before they release them on Blu-ray. If they simply port them over, a lot of people will be pissed.

As well as adding some extra features to the ones they did do right audio/video wise, but with zero to few extras. No way I'll double dip otherwise :lol:

I've heard rumours that they may be re-mastering a bunch, but I don't know if there is any truth to it.

People are gonna be pissed if they don't remaster and take advantage of Blu-ray's extra capacity.
