High Definition Mania
I'm currently very obsessed with high definition content. Watching those movie trailers in High Def. form give a strong intent of buying a projector for home theatre 
. I've came across an article on CNet about the difference between HD DVD and Blu-Ray format. It seems that these two rivals has been competing in the market for quite some times. Based on the current market view, Blu-Ray seems to be more successful than HD DVD and it is reported also that HD DVD will step down as Toshiba, the main company supporting HD DVD, has no longer interested in developing HD DVD items.
However, I don't think most people in Malaysia will even bother this High Def. and Blu-Ray things since most people here are already happy with their DVD movies/players and SDTV (Standard Definition Television) shows. Until there's a HDTV broadcaster in Malaysia, it's hard for most of us to change our PAL TV to some high end HD TV, unless you're the modern-type of people who always keeps up with technologies . Besides, currently there are also very limited Blu-Ray player available on the Malaysian market and Blu-Ray technologies (players, recorders, discs, etc.) are still very expensive for most people (RM149 @ USD50 for a BR copy?..very expensive!!).

hd-dvd nih dah tenggelam…
tak lama lagi production company yang keluarkan film kat hd-dvd akan pindah rumah pi blu-ray sebab mainstream supporter hd-dvd pun dah give up..
blu-ray player for PC ada dlm RM800++ la gitu…tapi tu utk player ja if i’m not mistaken..kalau burner, etc. tuh mau jugak dalam RM2K. kalau mau bajet skit, beli player blu-ray for PC, pastikan graphic card support HD, then sambung graphic card cable output pi TV HD…
