BluRay Fights Back

There've been a few dissenters of late that have been attempting to call BluRay a failed format or gimmick despite the sales numbers it has been showing. There was even an announcement some time ago about Wal-Mart possibly carrying a $200 HD player by the Holiday season. Well, it seems the BluRay team has stepped up to the plate and will be releasing a BluRay drive with DVD burning capabilities for $299 this June.

With computer drives down to a $299 price it will be a very short time before the player's themselves are down to a similar price. A price drop on BluRay players coupled with the built in player on the PS3, it is looking more and more like HD-DVD's time is up.

They have yet to sell a million blue ray discs last I checked. It couldnt have failed any harder.TrailorParkBoy

Theres been over a million PS3s sold, so that's over a million Talledega Nights sold too.  :|

blu ray will win, it's only a matter of time.  Sony knew what they were doing when they put bluray in PS3.  The add on hddvd player for 360 is a joke.ironwarrior2

I prefer to have functions built in instead of an add-on adding more cords and parts around my TV. That's why I'm sticking with Blu-ray for HD movies since I already have an HD movie player built into a game machine.

Talladega Nights was only included in the first Shipment of PS3's. Not all PS3's have it.

Blu-ray will win against HD-DVD but it will take a decade for it to beat out DVD9 to become the new standard.

huge difference between giving some thing away and selling some thing 

meh I was a week off, but that is still pretty sad.TrailorParkBoy

Not neccessarily for a product that has been out for less than a year with a such a niche market.

That movie sucks. It was awful just awful. Oh don't count out HD-DVD walmart has made a deal to sell a million HD-DVD playes for $150.

IF Blue Ray does win this is a SERIOUS problem for MS and this will give a HUGE advantage to Sony.

It was common sense. It's only a matter of time before stronger technology replaces weaker technology. This was just the nail in the coffin. To the peson who made that this is system wars comment and not formats wars. Last time I checked PS3's technology revolvles around the astouning Blue Ray Tech. If Blue ray wins expect sells to rise and short after a price drop. If the price drops Sony may drop the price on the PS3. Plus their was knews that  360 's GTA4 will be gimped solely because they don't have enough room on DVD9. Blue ray can be the sole reason why PS3 will win.

The movie isn't awful it is just one of those movie where you can only watch it once. I thought it was great the 1st time I saw it. Second time I had to shut it off in the middle it was so dumb.

This rumor was already debunked by Walmart thenselves (search for it on google, here, any media site that is wacthing the format wars if you really want to keep well informed about it). For now, at least, Walmart will support both, unitl the buyers make their final choice (as of now BD is beating HD-DVD).

He will continue posting that Random Walmart Rumor (Pretending its legit), that's just what hardcore's do. Yeah, it's been disproved, and yah it was random but oh well, I can't wait for another Lem to post the Walmart HDDVD deal again. Jeez, it never ends.
