I dont want Blue-Ray to win ... fact is its PS3 so within 1 year 10 million people will be holdin Blu-Ray players. I dont no how HD-DVD is going to compete with that.


Thanks

I would think HDDVD will win although i prefer Blue-rays abilty to store much more information. If we can learn from sony's history what happened to betamax and minidisk? Seeming as microsoft uses the HDDVD as an add-on to it's consoles i think they will probaly muscle their way to success. The name also will give it the edge people feel that it is like a DVD but with much better definition and size so therefore will be the best. Apparently people are devolping a way to store around 350 gbs on paper using a series of colours and shapes and what about thoose seagate 300 terabyte drives that are said to be released in a few years?

Blu-ray should win but in a couple of years there are going to be players which can handle both formats so wont matter. http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/lgs-super-multi-blue-ggw-h10n-a-blu-ray-writer-and-hd-dvd-r/

if im not mistaken, blueray plays dvd's in 1080p, hddvd plays 720p... higer resolution=BETTER DUH

Umm... the mass market for these drives probaly doesn't know what a gigabyte is and will go with the established name "DVD". So it is likely they will buy a HDDVD player because the name includes "DVD" and because it is cheaper, they probaly won't even know that a blu-ray disk can hold 50 GB on one layer.

blu-ray holds 25gb per layer but prototypr 8 layer BDare being tested, imo blu-ray will win since im a fanboy and its got more corportate backup. i know many people who think more exepensive=better so BD FTW, and don't come in here with tha BD access time bull we don't wanna hear it

 

[M0rga]

so BD FTW, and don't come in here with tha BD access time bull we don't wanna hear it

Um... what?

 

[TheEnd187]

was referring to everyone saying reading blu-ray at 1x is too slow, **** i just posted what i didn't want to hear. hd dvd still reads at 1x ayways so it doesnt really matter

Blu-ray has too much drm protection, and the porn industry is on HD-DVD's side. weather you watch porn or not you have to admit it makes a big impact on this kind of thing. Also as much as i hate to admit it, nobody is buying PS3s. to me it looks like M$ and its HD-DVD/Xbox technology are beating out Sony's PS3/Blu-ray. Sony has made some really stupid decisions on blu-ray so its really their fault. they had a winner in blu-ray but to me it seems the war is already over. Besides isnt it nice to see an American company with American technology back on top? I used to be a Sony fan, but now that it comes to this i realize i feel better about people over here making the world standard for video medium and not the Japanese.
