HD DVD

Just got this bunch of HD DVD and the respective player for my Xbox360,it was a bargain....
Let's try this dead format with a lot of potential...

A little bit of history:

HD DVD (short for High Definition/Density Digital Versatile/Video Disc) is a discontinued high-density optical disc format for storing data and playback of high-definition video.Supported principally byToshiba, HD DVD was envisioned to be the successor to the standard DVD format.
On 19 February 2008, after a protracted format war with rival Blu-ray, Toshiba abandoned the format, announcing it would no longer develop or manufacture HD DVD players and drives. The HD DVD Promotion Group was dissolved on March 28, 2008.
The HD DVD physical disc specifications (but not the codecs) were still in use as the basis for the China Blue High-definition Disc (CBHD) formerly called CH-DVD.

Because all variants except 3× DVD and HD REC employed a blue laser with a shorter wavelength, HD DVD stored about 3.2 times as much data per layer as its predecessor (maximum capacity: 15 GB per layer compared to 4.7 GB per layer).

Mega CD 32x PAL boot sequence

My First video is a showcase how the 16-Bit from Sega boots with all the addons....
The game itself is silpheed, it's a Mega CD release, the review will come later.
