well.. imo HD dvd and Blue ray are like the Minidisk. great, but they wont become a standard. and if one would become a standard, then I think it would be the hd-dvd over the blue ray.

simply because the drives are cheaper ^^

The ps2 never had a very good reputation for being a reliable dvd player, tho. I wouldn't be suprised if the ps3 had it's flaws, as well.

Which is why i wouldn't want the Blu-Ray on the PS3, and which is why im not getting the much cheaper HD-DVD player for the xbox 360.

i like it. the only problem is that i have to pause it half way through b/c it will frezze for 5 sec. and then skip the 5 sec mised
 
I'll wait until I buy, but I think Blu-Ray is going to win. Gut feeling. Anyway, I'm just curious about seeing the next level of resolution comes around, that is HD-HD-TV :P I wonder what that'll look like :-D

Is there any quality difference between blue-ray and hd-dvd?

No, there isn't. Not even in capacity anymore. 1080p is 1080p is 1080p no matter how you dress it up. Regardless of blu ray, black ray, plaid ray, HD dvd, Super HD dvd, or quantum scientific notation HD DVD.

HD DVD has already been scaled to meet the same capacity rates as blue ray, the problem is its not public yet or produced yet because of patent filing most likely.

Speaking of IP (intellectual property) law, sony is being sued right now for a violation with the blu ray technology. So, lets see how that pans out.

The problem is, with most technology, products like this are blogged and reported wrong. Information is skewed, construed, and distorted to favor one of the other. Really when it comes to consumer products more misinformation is given than actual facts. Which is why I am starting to really hate magazines, professional bloggers, Tomshardware.com (which is a shame), sales reps, and even consumer reports. There is no physical quality difference between blu ray or HD DVD they display the exact same HD resolutions.

I personally do not like either of them, they are allowing developers and media companies to become sloppy now. DVD 14 and DVD 18 which is what we currently use (the predecessor of DVD 9) holds up to 15 gigs uncompressed. Seriously what movie and/or game needs 15 gigs of data. Crysis that DX10 game that is going to blow everything out of the water requires 6 gigs of HD space. Gaming doesn't need that much and developers that are saying its only possible on blu ray are full of crap, and are probably being paid or get kick backs from sony for saying so. This also allows them to ignore compression technology which also gets better and better every year.

Blu ray also said, no adult movie industry you can't use our technology. Adult movie industry said suck it, we are using HD DVD anyways. Last I read from wired magazine the porno industry releases an average of 11,000 DVD movies a year. It is a profitable market, and people apparently like their porn.

In all honesty there is no difference, no matter who tells you different. No one will know what will happen in the future, but my personal guess is they will both live. This reminds me of the DVD + and the DVD - format wars and how everyone was like, oh no! Two DVDs enter 1 DVD leaves, yet I still see both formats all over the place and every DVDRW drive you buy now reads/writes both formats. I am sure that HD/blu-ray will end up the same way.

woh :eek:. that is a mouth full :D:P
 
I would like to see HD-DVD win this whole blu-ray vs HD-DVD war.
That comment is not in relation to which is the better format or which is most likely to ultimately dominate the market.
 
Even if blu-ray doesn't always offer an advantage to game developers, I can still think of some interesting ideas for using up the extra space. Take Stranglehold, for instance. It will come out on PS3 with the entire film "hardboiled" on the same disc. Why couldn't more movie tie-in games do this? Or, how about doing a game trilogy or even a quadrilogy and then making a "box-set" in which all of the games in the series can be played back-to-back from the same disc! I can think of countless ways in which the extra space could be useful, even if it isn't truly necessary.
 
I'm pretty sure the PS3's Blu-Ray player doesn't upscale, which I think is a major feature considering every DVD I want won't come out on Blu-Ray. Although, I feel as if they released an update and it does upscale now, I forgot.

Either way, as much as I would like to see HD-DVD win the format war. Since I am a 360 fanboy, I just don't think its going to happen.
 
i would just like to see blue ray is for the data storage. altho when it finaly comes down in price. the halo disk will be out :D
 
There's no way for a halo-disc to be written, tho.... Only pressed.

I think a great increase in the capacity of magnetic media is going to be the ideal solution in the future.

100TB hard drives and 100MBps internet = no need for discs
