So if you have been under a rock today you may not have heard that Toshiba is giving up on the HD DVD.  For those of us who purchased a HD DVD player (like me) this really bites the big one.  Shame on me for not waiting until the “format war” was over before purchasing a new DVD player, but in my excitement at seeing movies in crystal clear picture I could not wait and I jumped the gun and went with the more affordable HD DVD player.  While I am disappointed that the HD DVD will be a dying breed, I am optimistic that people will be running for the exits and selling their HD DVDs on Ebay for rock bottom prices (hello Ebay).  I have no problem piling up on all the movies I want at dirt cheap prices, and then I could buy a dual HD DVD/Blu Ray Player if I really want to.  So the moral of the story is patience (like the Guns n Roses song).  Otherwise, you might be singing with Queen “Another One Bites the Dust”.
