Default 'Sopranos' Star to serve as Toshiba's HD DVD "ambassador"
Hoping to make next-gen fence-sitters an offer they can't refuse, Toshiba is teaming up with 'Sopranos' star Michael Imperioli for a new HD DVD marketing campaign extolling the virtues of high-definition.

Who is this Michael dude? I don't watch the Spranos, so I have no clue who the heck he is.

Can anybody tell me what movies he's been in? I don't watch TV shows that much, too many reality crap.

I remember him from Goodfellas. The guy who got shot in the middle of the film buy Joe Pesci's character.

He plays CHRISTOFUH (or Chris Moltisanti); my favorite charator in the Sopranos, along with Adriana Laserva.

Amen to that! High Definition just looks sooooooo much better on drugs.

Well, he's also both a frequent writer and actor on the Law & Order series,....but if all he'd ever done is Soprano's that'd be enough. He's an incredible actor and popular character on the show.

I think this is very cool!

I think that selling HD DVD as the "movie lover's" choice and keeping Blu-Ray as a Sony "let's just pump out all these corporate titles with little to no love" is a great choice.

And doesn't it feel that way between the two formats?

Anyway, I digress....

I agree. I bought HDDVD cause it has my favorite movies, had a better pricepoint, and had better features out of the gate (for movies).

IMO bluray is a gaming format (it was rushed to market JUST for the PS3) that you can buy movies for on the side.

Any kind of marketing is good for HDDVD, because that's one thing toshiba hasn't really done yet, 30 second TV spots on INHD aren't gonna cut it.
