Why is Blu-ray the way ahead..

The name Blu-ray is derived from the blue-violet laser it uses to read
and write to the chalcogenide disc. A Blu-ray Disc can store
substantially more data than a DVD, because of the shorter wavelength
(405 nm) of the blue-violet laser (DVDs use a 650-nm-wavelength red
laser and CDs an infrared 780 nm laser), which allows more information
to be stored digitally in the same amount of space. In comparison to HD
DVD, which also uses a blue laser, Blu-ray has more information
capacity per layer (25 gigabytes instead of 15)..

Yeay right, it is so nice for costumers to have a new
bunch of incompatible players and disks.
If I have to make my choice, I will take something
with the least influence from the virus company sony.

If you were loser enough to buy one of the handfull of loser music groups that
had that rootkit on it in the first place, then you have more worries in your
life than what the next generation of disk format you are going to buy into.

Actually, according to recent articles, CES analysts have discovered
that the reason Blu-Ray isn't gaining ground isn't because of technical,
comparative, studio-supported or game-platform reasons, but simply because:
A) nobody trusts Sony,
B) nobody trusts new "exclusive" Sony formats, and/or
C) nobody trusts rabidly loyal Sony fanboys.

(Me, I was with HD from the beginning, until I found out that HD used a
Microsoft-based codec, and the reason Apple originally supported Blu was
that it used a Quicktime-compatible codec--
Oh, great, Sony vs. Microsoft, NOW who do I root for?) >_<

Interesting. I didn't realize Sony's past was actually catching up with
them.

Well, was a rather unscientific sampling, but they are starting to catch on:

(Unfortunately, like Beta loyalists, looks to HD fans as if Blu may have
more "default" establishment in the industry by the end of CES '07, and
Warner finally going dual-release doesn't help much either...)
