> [@Rx3](#): > > I thought it was already established that since the porn industry was backing HD-DVD, that Blue-Ray was dead? 🙂 Since Sony isn’t the only corporation involved with Blu-Ray, it was decided by the Blue-Ray conglomerate that they should allow adult content on Blu-Ray discs. So they dodged that bullet. Vivid Video has already announced they will release product on Blu-Ray. ---

blue-ray will win, it has much more backing/advertising. you dont see to many movies being released in hd-dvd format and just about all are in blue-ray. blue-ray has much more compacity than hd-dvd and who would not want that? ---

blu-ray. I say that in the same way I would say the “Sabres might win the cup this year” Chances are good they will win because the season is going well for them so far, just as blu-ray is on a pretty good pace… But it’s a long war and a lot can happen. 100+ gig sounds very sexy. ---

Thanks for the info Josh. :tup: I personally don’t care which one wins. I already have a HD DVD player, and when I get a PS3 that will cover Blu Ray. ---

Sadly, I think HD DVD will win for the sole reason that it is cheaper ---

how will sony’s marketing attack the natural association to the “HD” term. people beat over the head ALL DAY with HD everything. camcorders, radio, tv’s etc… it will take an amazing campaign to win out over the non stop HD advertising. just becasue a technolgy is good, does not give always it an advantage. they will have to actually “sell” blue ray. ---

like any good nyspeed reader… why would i read anything beyond part of the original thread. 🙂 one old guy asking about it on his own is good… i still think it will fall down to the distribution system needing to inform people of blu-ray. the letters HD sell themselfs.
