HD-DVD was doomed after WB went Blu-Ray Exclusive.
Wal-Mart and Netflix were the final nails on HD-DVD's coffin, it was becoming more and more harder for it to rise back up, even though Blu-Ray was getting a lot of support.
So we bid thee farewell, HD-DVD. Don't forget to call, and say hi to Betamax for us and tell VHS why it has not called in a while.
