Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the soemthing-to-think-about dept.

Michael S writes sent in a good story which sumarizes the current status of the battle between Blu-Ray & HD-DVD. There still isn't really a clear victor... or is there? I for one can't wait for this crap to get settled out so we can just enjoy having huge discs.

    From the article:
    And, as peculiar it may sound, both competitors are holding their breath to see what the pornographic industry will decide.

    That pretty much sums up the whole situation, now doesn't it?

  2. one problem.. by Foktip · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Huge discs are all fine and good... but wont they get scratched/ruined easily? I wait for someone to come out with an innovative new CD/DVD case design, perhaps something like combining a booklet and cases. (if that exists already, then its certainly not sold in any store ive been to)

  3. A huge help for Blu-Ray... by ScislaC · · Score: 5, Interesting

    will be if Sony officially decides to make the PS3 use the format. With the market penetration of consoles, especially the PlayStation consoles, well, you do the math. I know plenty of people that were excited that their PS2s played DVDs, because then they didn't have to buy a standalone player. So, I have a feeling that the same will happen if they use a Blu-Ray drive in their next console.
