Pope Mobile posted:He also decided that HD DVD was a more worthwhile purchase than Blu-Ray. This was about six months before BR "won" the war. I worked in the bluray business for a while shortly after it won that format war. The insider's perspective was very interesting. I learned that BD won due to solid industry promotion even though most of the people mastering discs and making extras felt that hd-dvd had a much superior set of tools available. Apparently MS not going all the way with backing hd-dvd and putting it on the xbox360 was also turn off to other people in the industry. Also the bluray name is solely due to Sony wanting a somewhat logical continuation to CD and DvD, hence BD. They had someone come up with something that sounded cool and abbreviated to BD.

I suppose it belongs in the things you just figured out thread, but my grandmother has some old "Fire King" measuring cups that look suspiciously like Pyrex. I would also like to join in the bemoaning of Pyrex not being Pyrex anymore.
