well there are a lot more people with blu ray players than HD dvd players.

i think as soon as universal stops being HD dvd exclusive (i think they are the only studio still holding out on blu ray) then the war will be over.

Shadowblade says:

Yup... and with the release of 300, it proved it once again...

65% - Blu Ray
35% - HD-DVD

I wouldn't be surprised if next year 360 would get a Blu-Ray addon

I've also noticed that alot of people will buy a PS3 for the Blu Ray player alone, this is really going to win for sony in the long run i reckon

Shadowblade says:

Considering large retail chains in US and over the world have been selling it with HD TVs (and the stores don't even stock PS3 Games), we can see Blu-Ray rushing ahead of HD-DVD in the stead of sales...

skua says:

and that is true, somepeople only want the ps3 for blu ray

08/16/2007 Somewhere in Sydney, Australia

Shadowblade says:

Well some people put duct tape over their air vents of the PS3.... Both are equally $tupid... To get your hands on something THAT powerful and only use 1% of it's power?!

callan5 says:

Yeah that is true, but i suppose its an escape from buying an expensive Blu Ray player. But yeah with features like Home and even talk of PS3 having its own TV service next year, you would be mad not to dig into everything this thing offers

300 on blu ray is not the best looking blu ray movie I have seen. But I still got it as its still good

Cheers for that Zoidberg mate, i plan on getting 300 on Blu Ray so thats good to hear *I just read that in Zoidbergs voice again*

Why are you guys so surprised? If Microsoft force-fed us HD-DVD with the 360, it'd be a completely different story... Sony's fascism is quite ingenious though, I'll give them that... they set it up so they can't lose! xD

callan5 says:

I wouldnt say force fed, because i mean, its up to the individual whether they want to buy the console or not. Iddqd i knew you would come into this thread lojl

longarms says:

yes i mean its such a horrible thing that sony is forcing us to have a higher capacity drive in our consoles isnt it iddqd,

08/16/2007 Central Coast (NSW)

iddqd says:

Hey, if they'd released it with a DVD drive, you would've had it a year earlier... and $400 cheaper releasing Blu-ray later as an add-on...

Like I said, they might be fascists, but they're clever fascists... unfortunately though, no one gains but them

longarms says:

just a question iddqd, im not flaming or any thing but would you ever consider geting a ps3 like im not talking cause of any games that are out now or are coming out but would you ever get one or will you stay 360 exlusive.

ps i still think that blu ray was a good although expensive choice for sony to make. also having the ps3 come out a year latter made sure it didnt break every second week (and yes that was a flame )

Great question Longarms!!!!!

What would it take idd?

iddqd says:  

Maybe so, Roblaw, but why are you so worried about sales? Wouldn't you rather have been playing PS3 games a heck of a lot earlier? That says quite a bit when you're more worried about a companies sales than your actual enjoyment of their products

Yes, Longarms, how is that flaming? I'm getting a PS3 when there's some decent games... I'd have one already if it was worth my while, but $1000 seems a bit steep for something that'd collect dust next to my 360...

longarms says:

i just didnt want you to think i was taking the piss thats all. im personaly not gona get a 360 but thats just me, (that and i really cant aford it at the moment)
