Ahh, the boys from Redmond have joined the traveling HD-DVD tour, demonstrating the features and coolness of this new format. Again, Blu-ray, really, get organized. You can’t wait for the PS3 to promote your format. Look me in the eyes and hear my words “even though you have superior technology, you are losing the format wars ™ — HD-DVD is kicking your ass!” Here’s the news from Joystiq:
A tour promoting HD DVD is launching in September, and Microsoft will be providing its Xbox 360 + HD DVD combo as an example of the experience. Looks like a sign of confidence that the HD DVD extension will be on par with other HD DVD players — whether the price will also be on par has yet to be seen.
In other news, the HD DVD players outsold Sony-backed Blu-ray players by 33% during their respective launch windows, according to NPD.
