First HD-DVD promo trailer

This started showing up on regular (not high-definition) DVDs released shortly after the HD-DVD format came on the market. Being in 4x3 with 2-channel audio it doesn't do much to suggest the quality it's capable of, but does show off a number of the extra stuff the format could do. (Although I have to ask to most of these- why would anyone WANT to do that?) It does point out the combo format, which I thought was pretty cool and something Blu-Ray doesn't do, since I could buy some HD titles and play them on my current system, then watch them in hi-def when I finally upgrade. (I've since bought an HD-DVD player on clearance for 80 bucks and tons of cheap movies, but still don't have an HDTV yet.)

The first Warner HD-DVD titles start out with this same promo with a few words changed since you're already watching the format it's promoting, and video is in 16x9 HD with 5.1 sound.
Some DVDs have a shorter version of this. I don't know the name of the guy who does the voiceover on this.

see, if they had have used proper grammar (perfection, not 'perfect') maybe they could've won the format war.
