I can see in the recent edits of the HD-DVD article, that some users (including myself) don't agree with the "obsolete" word in the beginning of the article. To the people who agree with the word obsolete, please explain your reasons why the word should be on the HD-DVD article.
I can buy an HD-DVD player or HD-DVD discs, so Why is Obsolete? the format still exists so there is no reason to put that. The format was abandoned, but it is not obsolete yet. In the meantime I removed the obsolete and leave as is.-- Juancdg ( talk) 01:31, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
someone should move most of this page to /archive, reduce it down to about a tenth of what it is, leaving nothing but a comparison with ble-ray and links to the format wars historical article, and blu-ray, and then link to the archive. no-one cares about this format anymore, its just a historical note at this point.

The first season of the original Star Trek TV series with modern CGI is available on Hybrid HD-DVD. Seasons 2 and 3 are not. Quite annoying to Trekkies and Trekkers who invested in HD-DVD players. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzybody ( talk • contribs) 06:42, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Just because you could still buy HD DVDs and players in some thrift stores, does that really count to say that the format still exist? Because HD DVD ended 3 years ago, what you can buy right now are just remnants of the format. You can buy them now but who knows how long they'll last, let's say 10 years from today.
Take a Ford Model T for example, it is possible for an owner to repeatedly renew its interiors and still make it run good as the day it came out of the assembly line. But that won't stop it from being referred to as obsolete, considering factories no longer produced them. 119.93.67.178 ( talk) 01:01, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
A IP editor (who apparently doesn't understand that PR is part of the U.S.) has repeatedly removed PR from the list of locations, as in this edit. The material they are removing is well sourced, does not imply that PR is a state and seems to make perfect sense. Nevertheless, they are continuing to remove it, now with absolutely no explanation.
As the editor in question is moving toward longer blocks, now would be a good time to discuss the issue. - SummerPhD ( talk) 03:42, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
I am removing the parts in the Decline section about "Rumors" that Warner Bros were paid $500M to drop the format or that Fox was considering switching to HD-DVD after being a very vocal and prolific supporter of Blu-ray. These rumors were debunked around the time they were started and do not belong on Wikipedia.

Ultra HD DVD films are expected to be released this year.-- Ezzex ( talk) 04:18, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
There is no "Ultra HD DVD" format. You may be confused with Ultra HD 4K BD, or combining that with a package that includes a DVD. The red-laser "HD DVD" has no new updates. Dcsutherland ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:17, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
