So, looks like HD-DVD is going to have 1080p video and 480i video for
the extras. I was under the impression HD-DVD was going to be 1080i
and i don't understand why they would put 480i video on there at all.
And this is still quite ho-hum, imo. Nothing here excited me and
entices me to buy into it.
