Blu-ray Site Hacked, Redirected to HD DVD Site

The war between Blu-Ray and HD DVD has been carrying on in full swing this entire year. There have been a lot of charges traded and numbers proclaimed, about who is winning the format war. Carrying the war to the next level, an HD DVD enthusiast hacked the Blu-Ray website and re-directed it to the  HD DVD website.

This rather bemusing incident came to light, this week as having occurred last Friday. Though the hack did not last long and was fixed very quickly, it nevertheless shows the passion that this issue has generated in high-end AV enthusiasts. So much so, that as this report states that AVSForum, a well known A/V site had to disable its Blu-Ray/ HD DVD forums due to discussions that got so heated that it became impossible to moderate this issue.

While passion about such technology is always welcome one has to wonder where it ends and  'Fanboyism' and 'trolling' begins. Your guess is as good as mine.
