HD-DVD: It's Here, and it's Spectacular
Evan Powell, April 21, 2006

Tuesday, April 18, 2006, was official launch day in the USA for the
new high definition DVD format known as HD-DVD, and the first HD-DVD
player, the Toshiba HD-A1. I don't know how it went around the
country, but here in Las Vegas most retailers weren't quite ready.
Nevertheless, with a few phone calls we were able to track one down,
along with three initial release discsThe Last Samurai, Serenity, and
The Phantom of the Opera. We've been playing with it for the last few
days, and I am happy to report our first experiences with it.
