Default SAY NO TO BLURAY


If more buyers would support HD-DVD and say no to Blu-Ray, then we would not
have a format war which is damaging the dvd industry.

On the other hand, if more buyers would support Blu-Ray and say no to
HD-DVD, then we would not have a format war which is damaging the dvd
industry.

Blu-Ray's specs sound more impressive on paper...I think I'd rather see
it emerge as the standard.

Which part sounds more impressive: The MPEG2 compression, the
single-layer 25gb discs, or the lack of support for any advanced audio
format?

Funny that.... I always thought it was SONY that made the dead format
BETAMAX Sony PS3 is going to be about £500... what a rip-off, the HD-DVD
Drive for the XBOX360 will only be around £130.
Hello... Do you not realise that HD-DVD is the only format that is
considered as an extension of DVD rather than a replacement and is the only
format endorsed by the dvd forum... think of all the people who have
invested money in DVD.

Well, it seems sarcasm goes straight over your head.

At the end of the day, it will be what the content providers support
that determines which, if any, format wins in this debacle. My gut
feeling is that neither will *win* as such. Frankly, I don't care as I
have a reasonably large DVD collection and doubt that I will update to
another format.

(Of course, I have been proved wrong in the past, and may be this time.
Be interesting to Google for my comments in two or three years and
see whether I was correct or not.)
