Meh.... Blockbuster thinks they have more influence on the world than they actually do. The main factor that will determine the Bluray vs HD-DVD war is Microsoft, IMO. If they strongly back HD-DVD and decide to cut Sony's legs out from under them, HD-DVD would probably win. If they continue this half-ass support we are seeing now, Bluray will win.

I'm really surprised that Microsoft is not going for Sony's throat on this format war. It makes me suspect that they have some kind of quiet understanding going on. Perhaps MS wants Sony to build a lot of Media Center PCs? Or some other kind of backroom deal?

Doesn't matter who wins now, holographic discs are going to wipe them both out.

Damn... HD discs are already on their way out? Just to think that I just barelly got done purchasing all the criterion titles on plain ol' DVD.

 

[Poi Boy]

I hope they both die at the hand of holographic.

Blu Ray is superior to HD DVD IMO.

As long as that's Chuck Norris in 4K... h34r:

And I think that about wraps that up. Go, next-gen Chuck Norris, go!

The racks of BD and HD discs in stores reminds me of the racks of UMD discs, DVD-A and SACD discs we used to see....

If the PS3 adds Redcode playback scaled to 1080p in firmware version 2.0, I'm fairly certain Blu Ray will win.

 

[Manfred Lopez]

Does anyone think that 4K home movies will ever be a reality? Or is that something the studios will never let happen?

Definitely, I hope that somebody from Red owners will release 4K flick sooner or later via internet!
Any cheap medium with huge capacity is welcomed, but not necessary and sooner or later it will be obsolete too. ... and everybody will forget so called "wars" between thouse 2 HD discs created by media. :biggrin: :whistling:

I guess the X-Box HD-DVD drive add-on wasn't very popular in Seattle. Only if Microsoft included an HD-DVD drive.

Blu Ray is superior to HD DVD IMO.

They're the same thing just one has a higher capacity.

 

[Manfred Lopez]

They're the same thing just one has a higher capacity.

I think he is refering to the actual standard and vid rate and design specifications etc.
