3X DVD Launched: Kinda HD, But Not
This sounds sort of like the VCD standard — popular with pirates but not with anyone else. It still technically offers HD content — albeit considerably downgraded — and the discs and burners are currently prohibitively expensive for the average user. I predict this will be an “also ran” standard that appears only occasionally and in the shadier corners of the media ecosystem.
