Yo, that ship sailed off in retreat at the end of the high density ROM disc format wars.

@felsqualle @fuchsiii and yes I have #HDDVD|s!

@RationalizedInsanity and if one doesn't care about that at all but just wants to shut off their brain and consoom, they also face the #Contentmafia's #DRM #bullshit that abuses honest customers and is the best #advertising for #piracy.

• Cuz it just feels insulting!

Add to that #greedflation and there's hardly a reason worth spending money on a cinema ticket or #Streaming of something that is worse in bitrate than early #BluRay & #HDDVD were, despite having 4x resolution...

Having an absolute blast replaying Condemned 2: Bloodshot! 🤩 This was my first ever Xbox 360 game, so it's pure nostalgia. I even remember getting a free copy of Saw 3 on HD DVD with it – those red cases were so cool! 😎 Appreciating the atmosphere, story, and gameplay even more now that I'm older. Plus, dusting off the strategy guide is a treat! #Condemned2 #Xbox360 #Nostalgia #HorrorGaming #HDDVD

This may be the stupidest $2 I’ve ever spent.

Got a bunch of second hand #bluray yesterday. #physicalmedia I’m now passed the 4500 mark in my collection. 🥳Giving some serious thought into selling off my #hddvd collection and my players.

Is there anyone out there who may have been involved with creating interactive systems on HD DVD media?

I want to discover what that experience was like at the time, and hopefully identify some tools folks might have used at the time. (I suspect folks had to create everything three times over to cover DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray.)

(Boosts welcome and appreciated!)

Just my reflection awkwardly hanging out with my buddy Trent (and Alissandro) from an HD DVD copy of Beside You in Time on [very late-era] original Xbox 360 hardware.

So I wanted to watch Shaun of the Dead tonight, so I had to fish this thing out since I only have it on HD DVD. Glad it still works & honestly it's not a bad piece of kit. If it still works in the future, I'm definitely using it for my bedroom. (My partner will have their Blu-ray player in the living room) 😂

The reason we don't have #BigBoxPackaging for #Games anymore is due to #GameConsoles:

• With the rise of the #PS2 & #Xbox360, the "#DVD #JewelCase" became the norm and #EconomiesOfScale kicked in.

• Also #OnlineStores kicked off and #Retail demanded more efficient #ShelfSpace and was unwilling to accept bigger boxes than for DVDs.

It's the same reason #BluRay, #HDDVD & #HDVMD (LOL!) have almost identical packaging and why we get super cursed packaging like a 24-disc case that is barely triple-wide...

• Also packaging games in colours like green [ #Xbox ], blue/white [ #PlayStation ] red [#Nintendo], violet [Xbox 360 #Kinect], black/transparent [#Windows-#PC] made it way easier to distinguish for consumers even from a distance where they can't read the spine and identify the logo.

@oracle nodds in agreement #Dihital #Backups are necessary espechally on #DyingMedia like #HDDVD!

#HDDVD is better than #Streaming - FIGHT ME!

@fuchsiii @foone I mean, it's a weird analog (!) optical (!!) media that suffers from disc-rot (!!!) and used long infrared lasers (longer wavelenght than the IR laser diodes for CDs as it predates CDs (!!!!) and it did #HD (or rather #HiVision) with #compression before #DVD and even #Dtheater existed!

• It's a far deeper #RabbitHole than #HDDVD and a more pricy one too!
