I still have my player and a handful of HD DVDs, but I haven't had the player hooked up for quite a while. I'm out of HDMI ports and space on my shelving. I'll probably hook it up again when I get a new pre-pro, though, and my system is moved to the basement.

I was definitely rooting for HD DVD when the war was being waged, but neither format was as mature as I wanted them to be. There were still too many titles on HD DVD that required updates to play properly, and we never got to see Managed Copy do anything.

It would be nice if Blu-rays were trouble-free at this point, but there are still issues with certain titles. Since HD DVD never solved its own issues, though, I can't resent Blu-ray TOO much for winning the war. At least we got a format with more space per layer. That has to be worth something, right?
