NY Times Runs Obit For HD DVD

The New York Times has an obituary in today’s issue for the HD DVD format, now that WalMart has decided to stock the Blu-Ray format, the type that Sony delivers. Most Hollywood studios and other retailers have already gotten behind the Blu-Ray format. If WalMart’s decision marks the end for HD DVDs, then Sony will have won one–its Beta tape format lost out to VHS decades ago. Admittedly, this post has nothing directly to do with media law, but oh, all those law related DVDs!
