deny it all you want, the PS3 IS pushing bluray to the top.

really cool read,  especially when it talks about the departed.

Why do people care which format 'wins". What does this "war" have anything to do with your daily life. Enjoy both formats, and buy a standalone player of the appropriate format when things get sorted out. Just doesn't make sense to get excited over a media war.BroweChisox

well, i rather want a good format to win, then just a dvd 1.5

No when you buy a movie on a format you wanna know you're buying the right one that'll last the long haul. People just wanna know that they made the right choice when it comes to media. It's like buying games, you wanna know that the system you bought is gonna last the long haul. Thats all.pimperjones

The Blu-Ray drive is very attractive. A new format for media which can deliver much more than any medium out in the market at the moment will definitely get some attention. You can think of the possibility in the future. I guess my point is... When investing in new technology, you want to make sure it is future proof .

I thought from the get go that the Ps3, and the 360 on the HD-DVD side, would be major catalysts in bringing next-gen home video into the mainstream.  I'd also be curious to see how sales of HDTVs have been affected by the release of the new consoles.  How many threads have you seen on these forums alone titled "I got my HDTV!"  Just as the PS2 snuck a DVD player into everyone's home, the PS3 will do the same for Blu-ray.  Laza-rus

the 360 HDDVD has pretty much no affect on how well HD DVD sales went, minimal if at all any.

I dont believe MS has any interest in Blu ray or HD DVD. it seems like the went with HD DVD out of the pure fact the the ps3 was blu ray

if you want to get an idea of how well each format is doing, take a movie that is available on both and 9 out 10 movies you chose, the blu ray version will be higher in the chart

See what happens when you try to shaft Sony out of their 10 cents, Toshiba has learned some seriously lessons here. 1) Never try to shaft Sony on their hard earned dime. Because they will sacrifice 200 dollars per system just to get it back. 2) Never ever.ever trust Micro$oft, they will shaft you everytime. "Oh we will support HD DVD, but we will not include it in our consoles because we like the moneyyy. pimperjones
