Not just super, but virtually the same as HD-DVD, according to the CEO
who tried to push the latter on you.

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

To be even more obvious, I'm guessing Toshiba's CEO wouldn't be saying
that if HD-DVD won the HD format war.

**I've noticed some HD-DVD sales discussed in the Bargain section of
the dvdtalk forums.

I hear they hired Jesus to come down to earth and create a chip that
miraculously adds extra resolution to NTSC standard definition DVD's.

Makes me wonder what happens when they get returned. Surely they're
not going to just landfill them all, I hope. There are plenty of us
out here looking to give those little discs a good home. But I'm ****
sure not going to pay anywhere close to the previous retail price for
them, with the format officially dead.
