HD DVD backers like Universal and Toshiba claim this is just a fad for PS3 owners who really haven't claimed a devotion to the Blu-ray format. Universal also fired back by saying that the Blu-ray hardware/software tie ratio is low, considering the volume of PS3 units that have been sold.

It's PS3 and also the pubilshers, HD-DVD is going against major studios support. Well TS for toshiba and universal.
there was an article in the wall street journal a few weeks ago that talked about the blueray v. hd dvd battle.
it said that porn may be a deciding factor.Â
with the beta v. vhs battle, sony didnt allow porn to be produced on beta. porn was then strictly produced on vhs. obviously vhs won that format war.
unclear whether porn is going for blueray or hd dvd, but i would look to those sales figures as an indicator.

The BIG difference in the BD vs HDDVD battle is that internet is much bigger than in the vhs vs betamax war, and internet took the popularity of the porn industry. Porn movies took a drop while the use of internet raised a lot.

LOL, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. :lol:
Good news! I hope this format war is over and done with as soon as possible. Id hate to be one of the people who bought a stand alone player of the losing format.
I blame Universal, if they werent so stubborn and became neutral then the format war would be over.
Anyone notice that for almost 9 months GS never locked a single HD-DVD/Bluray thread. Then, almost immediately after Bluray started trouncing HD-DVD in sales it became "policy".
It's a known fact: game journalism sites are being bought out by Microsoft to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt to the casual gamer in a feeble attempt to wipe out the competition.
Well I think this basically refutes what one of the editors of that tipping point article said about the ps3's blu ray player doing next to nothing in helping to push the blu ray format

that is hilarious, isn't it? before the PS3 launch, it was like, "the PS3 will not be the trojan horse that the PS2 was with it's DVD player". Now it's like, "here are the blu-ray hardware sales minus the PS3." gotta love the flip-flop.....but hey, the HD-DVD group has to make their sales look better, right?

The problem is that these threads are starting to overtake actual PS3 discussion now that the system is actually out. DVD talk never came up in the PS2 board unless if it was a compatibility issue, and in the end, it's better to talk about these formats in the General Hardware board. The PS3 board should be more focused on the system itself and its games, since this IS a gaming website. ;)
