Here we like to take a semi-practical look at the technology that runs our lives, both old and new.

Video Description

To potentially win $20,000 for a Gaming Rig and support a great cause go to http://omaze.com/91Tech - thanks to Omaze for sponsoring today's video! Blu-ray has been around for a long time and still reigns king of physical video, even if it isn't as relevant as it used to be... but it wasn't the only option initially, thanks to HD DVD. Microsoft even made an 'HD DVD' add-on for their Xbox 360 to compete with the PS3 (which had Blu-ray built in and of course would win out). It's a fascinating tale, so let's go over it today!
