An anonymous hacker altered the official Blu Ray Disc Association's web site to redirect to the official HD DVD web site today.

 

Starting around 3pm Eastern time today visitors to the official Blu Ray web site found themselves on the front page of the official HD DVD web site. Checking as I write this, the redirect is still in effect. While this may be the most humorous blow struck in the Format War, AV Enthusiast has to disapprove the actions of the hacker. No one wants someone tampering with their web site, and the attention HD DVD will receive from such an act is dubious.

 

AV Enthusiast initially decided not to publish this story because we don't condone such actions, but upon further review decided it still qualifies as relevant news.
