It seems that Sony have won, Toshiba announced today that they have begun winding down all production of players and hardware.

This is a sad day, as in my personal opinion, HD-DVD was the better format. But hey, I have both, I only have 10 HD-DVD titles, so it’s not cost me the earth at least.

The Microsoft HD-DVD drive for the XBox 360 will just have to make do with the few titles I do have, and hey one of them is Transformers and I have the Bourn box set as well, so it’s all good.

It’s a pity that Blu Ray won though, Sony’s draconian values obviously were liked more by the studio’s than Toshiba’s more open format.

Noticed a few post’s of people asking for the theme music for the new Knight Rider.

So here ya go, Download away.

updated version (from the TV Show not the movie) here

The odds on favourite’s The Patriot’s took a beating last night to end their perfect undefeated record.

The Giants played better throughout the game, with an obviously better defensive squad, and when it counted, a stronger offensive lineup.

It’s about time we saw a resurgence from the Giant’s, and I am happy for Manning the younger.

Well done Giant’s!

Or car as it’s more commonly know. Welcome to the Civic Type-R GT (they have been given the SpaceShip nickname by their owners).

As you can see, I went for a Milano Red one, now red is usually not my car colour of choice, but it seems to suit the Type-R.

So far it’s been good fun, but not had chance to open her up properly yet, as it’s being run in (more for brakes and tyres etc than engine).

The SatNav/SoundSystem is cracking (it’s an Alpine one that Honda use JFYI), and the Hands Free telephone system seems quite reliable, even if you do have to re-program all the names you want it to detect from voice, as it needs to be trained.

But hey, small thing, and only needs doing once.

So far the only things I’m slightly disliking, the drivers seat is slightly too high, and the AV input to the 7″ screen is behind the dash, so you have to remove dash panels to get to it, but hey it’s actually there for the reversing camera option (no I didn’t spec that).

It has a thirst issue (25Mpg), should get a bit better after it’s run in though.

I’ll post some pictures of the interior, as it’s something to be seen, and one of the reasons I chose the Type-R over the Focus ST, Astra VXR and Golf GTI.
