Los Angeles (CA) - Over the weekend, visitors to the official Blu-ray Disc website were sent to the official HD DVD website instead, apparently the work of a format-biased hacker.

According to media reports, at around 4:00 PM Eastern time on Friday, Blu-raydisc.com was not accessible.  Instead, Web surfers who pointed their browsers to that site were sent to lookandsoundofperfect.com, the official website of the HD DVD Promotional Group.  HD DVD's slogan is "the look and sound of perfect".

There was no word following the incident about who may have committed the act, or when the Blu-ray camp took action.  By the end of the day Friday, Blu-raydisc.com had been restored to its normal state.

HAHA

Now that's funny. Probably the same person putting HD-DVDs in the bluray Harry Potter Box set movies.

Warner says good-bye to HD-DVD

Now that Warner has dropped HD-DVD that leaves only 2 of the 7 major studios, Paramount and Universal, backing the HD-DVD format. With the amount of content shrinking rapidly Microsoft and Toshiba are going to have to finally give up and finally get behind Sony with the Blu-ray format. Long live blu-ray!
