Down but not out, the beleaguered HD DVD format suddenly has some
product in the pipeline, after studio announcements that had been
slotted for the Consumer Electronics Show were yanked at the last
minute due to the pre-show defection of Warner Home Video to the
Blu-ray Disc camp.
One of the most high-profile HD DVD releases, ironically, will be
from Warner, which won't officially abandon the Toshiba-developed
format until the end of May. The studio Wednesday announced it will
release a two-disc special edition of the action hit "Twister" on
all three home entertainment software formats, with the DVD and
Blu-Ray Disc coming May 6 and the HD DVD edition following May
27.
Orders are due April 1 for the standard DVD and Blu-ray Disc and
April 22 for the HD DVD. Special features include a commentary, an
HBO First Look Special on the making of the film, and a 2003
History Channel special on tornadoes.

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
Blu Ray outsold HD DVD 85% : 15% last week thats more than 5:1
Super-officially pwned :O
lets hope by the time HD-DVD dies, that Blu-ray profile 2.0 will be here and Blu-ray players will finally have the functionality that HD-DVD had from the beginning.
Hopefully Universal releases American Gangster on blu ray as well.
