And you said HD Multimedia doesnt matter....

If I recall correctly, and I do, there were many people saying blu ray is worthless, it'll never amount to anything, and that it is optional technology. Not to mention that it will fail and no one cares about HD multimedia. Well, guess what? Not only is blu ray outselling HD DVD and has more large name companies producing movies in blu ray, but laptops and dekstops alike are both starting to come with Blu Ray drivers. Granted, they're coming with HD-dvd drivers also but if more people are buying Blu Ray, what do you think the better format is?

 I know I'm going to get rained on by fanboys and anti-ps3 critics (one in the same) but I suppose that's expected in system wars. Sometimes the truth hurts and people just have to lash out in anger.

doesn't change the fact that the common person doesn't want either format yet.mylsd

Most people still do not own TVs to take full advantage of the extra pixels.foxhound_fox

but with laptops and pc's the screens are smaller and most can support HD settingsblitzinger123

Drivers? Don't you need hardware to read the discs? What's the point of having the software when all you have is a dvd drive?taker42

That's what I was thinking but maybe he means drives.

I'd like to think it's in the middle, at least for me.

I have quite a DVD collection already. I don't want to pick up a new format. I mean, this isn't the VHS to DVD jump. This is, as far as I can tell from those neat-o keen setups at Best Buy, a marginal difference. EP Recording to DVD... now that was a difference!

This is more the difference between my Rio and the guy up the street with the pimped out SAAB. Sure, his might go faster, but they both take the same roads and are going the same speed when stuck in traffic. 

Only reason it is selling is because all the people sony conned into buying a Ps3 has no good games or anything better to do on the worthless system other then watch and buy blue ray movies. Which is exactly what they planed on. You sir are a Sony pawn use to help save the other falling parts of there company. Anyone who doesn't see that is a myopic fanboy, the perfect victim for sony to exploit :)Nugtoka
