The earth-shattering events at CES have left the HD DVD camp reeling, but let's not get carried away with all this talk of the format being on its last legs. There's plenty of life left in it yet, with two major studios (Universal and Paramount) still on board, a sizeable catalogue of discs already launched with plenty still to come and most importantly, hardware prices are still significantly cheaper than Blu-ray.

The battle between Blu-ray and HD DVD will be won and lost in two areas: content and hardware prices. So far, both camps are doing pretty well on the former, but as for the latter HD DVD is winning hands down because the players still offer the best price-to-features ratio.

First off the new Elonex production line is the LNX (see what they've done there?) Cube. Review details: Single Test   → Test results
