I had my money on Blu-Ray in the first place unlike the rest of the bandwagon which kept referencing it to the old “beta-tapes” Lets see how this continues to roll out > **[Warner Backs Blu-Ray.

The majority of the porn industry has chosen Blu-ray format. The porn industry chose VHS back then. ---

cool, I thought Blu-Ray was going to win the whole time. The PS3 really pushed it forward, (cheaper and easier to get a PS3 with bluray player included then getting an xbox then having to buy a player) Im wondering when they’ll finally say the war is over and they’ll be useing one of the 2 formats… ---

I personally dont own a blu-ray … I did watch part of a movie in Sam’s Club the other day of a blu-ray playing on a Sony Bravia … That picture looked amazing … I dont know if it was the blu-ray, the tv, or a combination of both … I always thought that blu-ray was superior to hd-dvd tho … I could be wrong … ---

I was really pushing for HD-DVD just because that’s what I have with my Xbox. I don’t really want to go shell out $250+ for a different format. Now that Warner has made a choice, it seems others are starting to follow. Bye bye HD-DVD :sadwavey: ---

For how stupid this may sound. Blu-Ray is to clear and realistic, which for me personally, for movies I dont like. I watched Pirates of the Caribbean : Part WGAF, at best buy on HD w/ blu ray, the thing looked like it was taped with a sony handy cam. The cgi sticks out like a sore thumb compared to most scenes and I just dont like it for movies IMO. For games etc thats a different story. ---

The porn industry chose Blu-ray but I think they were turned down. They’re backing HD-DVD now. **The cgi sticks out like a sore thumb compared to most scenes and I just dont like it for movies IMO.** That’s the only thing I haven’t gotten used to with the HD formats. Mostly all CG special effects now look like they’re CG. On regular DVD, it was hard to notice. I thought Transformers looked amazing, though. Maybe now the studios will have step it up again since they’ll be releasing their movies in HD. ---

I have a PS3 and an xBox 360 hooked through HDMI to a 1080p set. I like HD DVD better. I rarely even turn on the PS3 anymore. ---

I don’t see how Blu ray is even worth it, at all. Ok, so it has more storage capacity, and can transfer data a bit faster. Who gives a shit? My movies aren’t lagging, and both of them have the exact same resolution to them… Blu-ray is being backed because it costs more and can make companies more money, maybe? It’s not worth the money, until I absolutely have to, or blu-ray costs the same as HD-DVD’s I won’t buy them. 1920 x 1080 resolution on both, from what I read atleast. Same formats on both of them, and same wavelength…maybe I’m wrong though? ---

thing is, I dont see things coming out for HD DVD. Like Burners, Blank Media, etc etc I wouldnt mind both formats being around. but I still think blu ray is going to win. everyone talks about blu ray. I rarely hear about HD DVD ---

The retarded part is that they are both the same quality picture, one that TV’s can’t even handle yet to my knowledge, so who cares at all? Upscale DVD’s save a bunch of money. ---

Here is the thing, that move right there is a waste of money, its obvious blu-ray isn’t going anywhere, skip one move and go right to the next, save money and have a format that won’t have to be obsoleted as quickly. Blu-Ray has more capacity and in this day in age where everyone is more concerned about data whether it be the consumer or the manufacturer it’s well worth it.
