Blu-ray site hacked, redirects to HD-DVD site
Posted on 24/12/07 17:54 by Jan Willem
Oh boy, the battle of the HD formats intensifies now Hidef-Digest reports that the official Blu-ray website has been hacked and has been redirected to the HD-DVD website. Of course chances are small that the HD-DVD promotion group is behind the hack, but it is an interesting fact that now also hackers (outside the ones that try to circumvent their copy protections) are involved in the war.
HiDef Digest reports: "Beginning at around 4pm ET Friday, and continuing intermittently into the afternoon, visitors to the blu-raydisc.com web site were instead sent to the HD DVD camp's lookandsoundofperfect.com web site."
Nobody has made any statement regarding the hack. Anyone of the anti-Blu-ray camp here that has to admit something?

Seems to work now. I suppose Blueray is behind it (and its not a typo). I tried that "perfect" website and it discredited itself for me 
The "simulator" either dont work or dont make sence or plain stoopid. In the trailer section instead of showing off it asks for some password and then (having not gotten one) redirects to an error page.
.. and thats the thing thats supposed to promote HD-DVD..
