Blu-Ray News. Very Intresting

[QUOTE="Gzus666"][QUOTE="BlacKJaCK2290"]You picked movies from the BD exclusive studios dude of course their not on Bd with the exception of Happy Feet.BlacKJaCK2290

i have to say, M$ were very stupid to not put hddvd support directly into the xbox360. by making 360 owners pay 200 more, which from what i understand is almost the cost of a stand alone hd dvd player in the states ( im from nz), they are just showing how much they are after money. i personally cant wait untill hddvd finally quits. and besides, the name blu-ray even sounds better, i mean, hd-dvd makes it sound like its just a slightly beter version of a dvd, much like hdtv is a better version of a standard def tv. i just think that the hddvd creators were too lazy to come up with a proper name for it.skorpion352

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

but the problem with downloads is your gonna spend alot on hardware which is your hard drive and also where will you store your movies when you ran out of space on your hard drive.aerziel

also hd dvd max resolution is 1080i and on blu ray 1080p...thats also why blue ray more expensive

That's because HD-DVD came out b4 blu-ray. And 3 months ago, PS3 was not really launched.

Ok, first of all, you don't judge the format based on names. If you gonna just bash blu-ray, because it sounds weird, then you are out of this conversation. WIi, anyone? That sounds great, right? Is xbox a word? NO.

Secondly, mass effect producer said that their game will fit barely on single DVD disc. What does that tell you, huh?

Kojima knows more than you do about compression and games, it's not up to you to decide whether he is right or wrong. But, if I have to listen between Kojima and you. I will listen to Kojima.

That's incorrect... Only TOSHIBA HD-DVD player that will go up to 1080P is Toshiba HD A2. According to ign, this is the only HD-DVD player that will output 1080P. And this player costs just as much as blu-ray players. If not, more.

You picked movies from the BD exclusive studios dude of course their not on Bd with the exception of Happy Feet.BlacKJaCK2290

[QUOTE="gp19"]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.m3Boarder32

i personally dont see Blu-Ray winning the format war, Sure it might have more support and it is better in few ways, but remember BetaMax and VHS? it was the same way and who won? VHS thats why cause its cheaper, when consumers look at products they want quality with price, and HD-DVD and Blu-Ray look and sound the same but with the exception of price, im not calling this war yet but im placing my trust in HD-DVD

How do you figure that makes him a troll?

look at the GEARS OF WAR icon in his avtar........tht is very exposing     :)

Back here in Sweden, the HD-DVD are like a ghost... You wont find any of that crap. But Blu-Ray's going steady.
Hartner_X

Thats kinda weird when you consider HD-DVD owns 85% of the market in Europe,  for every 17 HD-DVD players sold, there are 3 Bluray players sold.

HHAHA your guys are funny,  one guy says HD-DVD is not done,  another guy says HD-DVD is done,  and its the guy that says HD-DVD is not done that is being name called.....You guys crack me up..

[QUOTE="Paul_TheGreat"]Everybody knows HD-DVD is dead.sPOON_f33dU

Again.."HD-DVD is dead" is the fanboy remark, look yourself in the mirror every now and then.

http://www.eproductwars.com/dvd/

as seen above HD_DVD is dead in US.

in JAPAN Blue ray has a 95% adoption rate.

In Europe after march 23rd HD-DVD wont exist anymore.

around 500k CASINO ROYALE Bds are already sold...........most of those buyers are ps3 owners.

the fiirst 500k subscribers on 23rd march gets a free copy of CASINO ROYALE.

u can easily determine the HD-DVDs future in Europe
