I remembered when this was around. It was 2007 when everyone was introduced to the HD-DVD. This was exactly like the Betamax story where the VHS although invented before it, outbeat the Betamax cassette due to more options and convenience of video recording. Same situation as the HD-DVD, however, the HD-DVD was beaten by the Blu-Ray disc. Why get a HD-DVD when you can buy a DVD which is cheaper and easier to duplicate? The HD-DVD was similar to a Blu-Ray quality, however, the Blu-Ray was everyone's favorite in the Format War therefore, the HD-DVD officially stopped production after its fall. Those who do not wish to spend extra money prefers the cheap and efficient DVD and those who wants to spend money on high quality playback would prefer paying an extra buck or two for the most high definition format there is, which is the Blu-Ray.
