HD-DVD Simply ... Ceases to Be

What a tumultuous three months. That's how long it took for HD-DVD to cease to exist, starting with Warner Bros.' decision to drop the HD-DVD format in early January, and spiraling quickly afterwards.

On Friday the HD-DVD Promotion Group dissolved, announcing to its members and on the site:

HD DVD Managing Members

March 28, 2008

The HD DVD Promotion Group was dissolved as of March 28, 2008, and the website was closed accordingly.

Please access to DVD Forum for HD DVD formats, and DVD Format/Logo Licensing Corporation for format books and its license. Regarding the HD DVD products, please contact each selling agency directly.

Of course, this doesn't mean you can't find HD-DVD products anywhere. Just that it sure ain't going to be easy.

BTW, will the last HD-DVD member out, turn out the lights? Or at least, shut down the servers for the website (it's still there). After all, Earth Hour is today, isn't it?
