This is not cool. If this is the future trend then we will need to own two players to be able to play different movies from different corporations... I have enough remotes as it is, and little shelf space.

i have a feeling that blu-ray will win in the long run, how long can a deal worth only $150 mill last! many ppl think that Sony lost in the VHS V's BEATA battle (and yeah they did) but i think many ppl don't know how much BEATA tapes are used today around the world

NoRC says:

Isnt Beata used by TV stations and what not?

antman1011 says:

Yeah no doubt that blu-ray will win (not just saying that because I have a ps3) but it has so much more to offer

RerunWii says:

I don't know, both HD and Blu-ray have good things to offer, I think consumers will stick with HD-DVD because it has the trusted DVD name, most consumers have no idea about what blu-ray is but "High Definition DVD" sounds good eh?

hehehe, looky here at the ad I found at the bottom of teh page, no way I'm clicking it... I already have one, another would probably give me some mental disability...ewwwww Wii...

Vinzor says:

rofl rerun xD
should change it to RerunPS3

but yeah, i agree

people are used to DVD
people are probably used to HD as well
DVD + HD = HD DVD !

people would go "WTF IS A BLU-RAY?!"
BLU + RAY = WTF ?

but hey, blu-ray seems to be the future in my opinion so they'll win in the long run

not even a HD dual layer dvd will beat blu-ray!

Not too fussed about the whole Blu Ray/HD DVD debacle to be honest, but i do think Blu Ray will win this race in the long run.

RerunWii says:

Yeah I agree, they'll win it when developers stop and realise the storage capacity is so good they don't care what ignorant consumers think they want. I think it was highly stpid that they called it "blu-ray" in the first place because as I said before no-one (average consumer) knows what the hell a "blu-ray" disc is...

08/26/2007 The land of Prosperity...ok Brisbane

callan5 says:

Well in the long run Blu Ray will win on capacity space alone i reckon, Blu Ray is needed for games like Heavenly Sword and Uncharted to work considering everything they are ramming onto one disc. I think Sony have a win with Blu Ray because soo much more is capable with more space. Im the same as you though man i had no idea what Blu Ray was before and even now i dont know everything about it

08/26/2007 perth, WA

RerunWii says:

No I knew what it was but yeah perfect example. Anyway, it'd be so much easier if they just had one format like the DVD last time...

08/26/2007 The land of Prosperity...ok Brisbane

callan5 says:

At the end of the day though, to me a console is all about games and graphics, i just consider Blu Ray as a bonus as i dont really know alot about it lol

In terms of statistics, most people don't even know HD exists. It will be four or five years at the MINIMUM before either of them really takes over DVD. Same happened with DVD... you could buy DVD's around the mid to late nineties, but it never caught on fully until around 2001 or 2002...

The whole format war is a load of crap... the only company that's actually got anything to lose over it is Sony, and it isn't likely that they will lose anything over it because of the PS3.

08/26/2007 Knee deep in the dead...

RerunWii says:  

Well it's just a DVD with high storage potential (25gig. single layered - 50gig. dual layered) ehich is red by a blue-violet laser as opposed to the red-infrared one...

08/26/2007 The land of Prosperity...ok Brisbane

callan5 says:

Its going to get to a point where everything is going to be a war, i think some things are just pointless, i mean yeah there is plenty of reason to like one over the other, but its almost as though the formats of each console is becoming more of a war than the console war itself
