Not me! Maybe not the best selection, there were more Warner Brothers discs, infamous for bit rot (it’s real, even their regular DVDs die prematurely), I passed on those. I have a few and they are all dead.

[For those who don’t know, HDDVD was the HD format that lost the format wars of the early 2000s. There are very few readers any more out there. The XBOX 360’s external reader is one, the Toshiba machines are the others. I have both!]

    I remember being fully convinced that HDDVD was the superior technology, and then Sony went all in on Blu-ray and that was all she wrote.

      I think including it on the PS3 had something to do with it. The way the XBOX supported HDDVD with an external drive was probably just annoying users.
