    Hopefully it turns out just like the VHS vs. Beta war of the late 70's/early 80's. Beta is better quality and deserves the title it so successfully....WAIT A MINUTE!!

  3. Why Blu Ray Will Win by jetkust · · Score: 5, Funny

    Because "HD DVD" is too hard to say. Blu-Ray is easy and quick to say. 2 syllables: Blu, Ray. It's even easier to say that DVD, which is 3. Blu-Ray is a pronounciation dream. HD DVD is an acronym nightmare. Nobody wants to deal with that mess.

      Blu-Ray is a pronounciation dream. HD DVD is an acronym nightmare.

      Since HD-DVD uses a red laser, should we call it Red-ROM?

      Red-ROM is way easier to say and it appeals to the Stephen King fans.

      Anyway, this is the most boring Red vs. Blue episode I've ever seen.

    Just find out which format Sony is backing, and pick the other one.
