BluRay Vs HDDVD

[ragboy]

Y, I remember watching hitch on HD, and thinking, "Dude, why isn't Eva Mendez as hot as I remember her? What are those crater things on her face?" You notice every detail if you have a good tv like a plasma or whatever. You can also catch bad CG effects, and other stuff, cuz its so clear. But for the most part, I love it. Another good one, try King Kong on HD. Try to get over Adrian Brody's nose. ;-)

Correction: I read that there IS a bluray DVD hybrid disc in the spec, but I have never seen or heard of one yet, and I don't think its in the 1.0 spec. So eventually you might see dvd and bluray on same disc. dvd/hddvd discs are already out there, since day 1.

Even thou thousands got King Kong, I would agree that the movie was well done and looks great.

I agree with the article, I would rather have HDDVD, but content is king. If the studios all move bluray, HDDVD will die. I haven't read a single article, except if from a PS3 fanboy, that doesn't like the HDDVD format over bluray. Everyone seems to concede that HDDVD is the consumers choice. I think the "on the fence" studios just want to have the war end. And they see the entrenched studios all on the BR side, like disney. If they move to bluray, they can make the war end faster, and make more money.

From the article, they would lose money on the production side of BR. But again, time will tell.

yup time will tell.

Only in the short term. HDDVD is cheaper to produce because they are VERY similar to DVD, so pressing a disk is the same. Once bluray spins up everywhere, it will be just as cheap.

[da.bell]

I didn't get that from the article but I believe you. Just a matter of time before the cost is there.

IMO, HDDVD has been proven to work effectively. It's just that the major studios have not jumped into the format because they have no real clue to which format should win.

Sony has got to be throwing TONS of money at the studios, and who knows what else. They seem determined to not lose THIS format war. Think of how much bad press they took with launch of PS3, then imagine, the PS3 with its bluray player that held up launch of PS3, and pushed up costs, is now not worth anything? Sony has stated they expect the PS3 to be around for about 10 years. If bluray lost, how stupid would be those bluray players be in the PS3?
