i dont care who wins, as long as somebody does. or that multi format players become the norm and are priced competitively.

After having invested so much money, it's not over yet for HD DVD.
Unless they lose Paramount. Surely paramount aren't that stupid, and I don't think the bluray disc group have any change left to buy them off as well.

paramount and warner bros are going blu-ray. Blu-Ray outsells HD-DVD in AU 5:1, and worldwide HD DVD has less than 40% of market share.

warner is.
paramount hasn't done so.
not sure about your numbers, but yes they certainly would be outselling since most stores have (or up until recently) exclusive agreements with sony. and those that have dropped the exclusivity sell their hd dvd's at a 15-30% premium, dispite hd dvd being the cheaper format, and cheaper everywhere else in the world.
but atleast with HD DVDs, no region coding, so you can buy your discs from the US for a lot cheaper. and better quality than bluray.. sooooo...
Last I heard, for 2007, bluray was 1% ahead in the US.

yes, it's the consumer format.
they even let you make a DRM'd backup copy your HD DVD. not on bluray.

interesting read, but out of date.

how? asides from the greater storage capacity what advantages does it have? to be honest i dont care about the difference of a bajillion gigs and a gazillion gigs of storage.
i want no region coding more than anything. its one of my (many) pet hates.

tri? cool, didnt know it existed. can bluray go tri too though? doesn't having multiple layers make discs less stable when scratched though?

there's no visual difference trippers.
blu ray is miles ahead in support, check the link above, read and then comment.
good luck in your unfortunate one sided debate.

i did read the link. yes, i saw a number of different production houses, with bluray in the lead. i dont see how this makes them the best though.
Posted by christos on Jan-09-2008 03:56:
trilayer, old news.
quad layer bluray
http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/New...px?NewsId=16003
Posted by sunrise3500 on Jan-09-2008 04:00:
yes
but hd dvd's spec is finalised. bluray's isnt. as in you can spend lots of money on a bluray player, and 6 months from now, the movies that come out won't work on it.. lawl
most likely
if they do release bluray drives that support quad layer, most likely will only go into burners for data storage purposes rather than the video line for the factor already mentioned.
and while that's in the lab, the hd dvd group have taken tri layer out of the lab.

if there's no visual difference, who really gives two shits about storage capacity? films are only so big.

for that reason alone banana....beta back in the day was clearly a better format to vhs but didn't have the support it needed to sustain the battering the format didn't deserve....you can only exist for as long as there's majority interest.
When we're talking about sony ps3's being sold when you buy a bravia xbr and they're starting to keep ahead of sales of xbox 360's and wii's steadily, you don't need to be a smart pkc to work out that ps3's in homes is bluray players in homes.
hddvd has an uphill shit fight to get anywhere quickly. on the weekend at least 3 of my mates went out and brought bravia lcd's and take advantage of the free ps3's. i'm sure if you muliply that out to people that know of this promotion, you pave way for a shit load of players now.
it's promotions like this that gives Sony muscle. not tricky specification and ridiculous claims.

true, the extra storage doesn't give extra visual quality.
however, the fact that hd dvd's arent mastered by monkeys means in pretty much all reviews, hd dvd's are better in video quality than the equivalent on bluray.
lawl.
