NYPost says Retailers  Abandon HD-DVD

Has the curtain already fallen on the next-generation HD format war? After interviewing studio executives, polling industry analysts and reviewing the latest sales data, The NYPost has declared a victor: Blu-ray.

While we think it's a bit to early to call this one, Blu-ray is clearly gaining a bit of global momentum (thanks to the PS3). The full article is worth a read, but here's a hodge-podge of the story's best quotes, conveniently strung together and presented completely out-of-context:

"It's never been a question of if Blu-ray will pass HD DVD, but a matter of when. It's safe to buy Blu-ray players without fear they'll end up being sold as relics on eBay. Retailers will pull the plug on HD DVD sometime next year. "

Owning players for both formats, I don't really care who wins... though I do prefer Blu-ray's ability to play uncompressed PCM audio. That stuff sounds amazing!

well it is very obvious that blu ray outsold the HD-DVD in the past 3 months.

And HD DVD outsold BD every month prior to that. BlacKJaCK2290

Once the PS3 releases in Europe and Australia, the Blu-Ray sale will surpass even more. aka_aj03

oh and the releases for blu-ray.

Casino Royale

Pursuit of Happyness

Happy Feet

Eragon

Rocky Balboa

Chicken Little

Pirates of the Caribbean 2

ETC!!!!!

oh yeah lol i believe that's not even all of it.

and i am also positive not even half of these movies, oh wait no, not even 10% of these movies will come out on HD-DVD. i saw happy feet for both BD and HD-DVD i guess thats a relief for you

Bluray can be used for games, end of story bluray wins.

HD-DVD is pretty much only for movies, alot of big companies already love bluray because when they can back up pretty much an entire network of computers or presentations on one disc. the future is here and its playin b3yond :)

I don't really care who wins becuase I have both players (PS3 and 360 add-on). What doesn't make sense to me is why people think that a disc capable of holding 50gb on its dual layer format will be beaten by one that holds close to 30.gp19

I couldn't care, in like 6 years blue-ray will be replaced by halogram discs that hold over a terabyte. I'm still happy with DVDs and I'm scepticle of packing more information on a smaller space because of regular wear and tear by using discs. think about how easy it is to sratch and skip a dvd and then put 10 times the information in the same space.GrayHalo
