Blu-ray Coming Out On Top?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the i-copy-blu-leader dept.

wh0pper writes "Some interesting information came out at at the latest Blu-ray Disc Association meeting at Twentieth Century Fox Studios. Apparently, 90 percent of the CE industry and seven movie studios now back Blu-ray Disc. And most of the IT industry (except Microsoft) also supports Blu-ray Disc. This has prompted Mr. Parsons, Senior VP of Advanced Products Development for Pioneer Electronics, to say "There's no format war looming because it's not Blu-ray vs. HD DVD. It's simply Blu-ray versus standard definition DVD... Currently, DVD has 50,000 titles presently available, and both formats will co-exist for several years to come with new BD players supporting both formats. BD players make the perfect complement to new HDTVs that are being purchased by consumers." Mr. Parsons then announced that the upcoming CES would be used to launch Blu-ray Disc."

    Either you or the guy that got you where you are obviously took the wrong lives. Had Schwarzie been maimed, you'd have one more chance to survive the amoronican idiocy.
    Anyway, it's not worse than being sent in Iraq for Bush's banker.
    It's now obvious that you, yankees (no capital, you don't desserve it) have to assume what's gonna happen in "Hell A".

    "neither BluRay nor HDDVD will suport full HD resolution via component video, instead consumers will have to use HDMI for its HDCP copy protection."

    You need to get out more son.
