The only thing they've done is release the player last October and they're piling up in stores. They cant kill blu ray like that. Sony will live waaay past next-gen.

[QUOTE="Michael324"]The only thing they've done is release the player last October and they're piling up in stores. They cant kill blu ray like that. Sony will live waaay past next-gen. MS isnt trying to kill blu-ray. blu-rays sales have nothing to do with MS you know. and this has nothing to do with system wars.

[QUOTE="-Sir-Poof-"]Why would MS care if bluray wins or not?Kayrod29
Cows have yet to sink that into their heads, MS isn't part of the format wars. That's true, they only support HD-DVD but doesn't mean that they are absolutely against Bluray. They promote HD-DVD as a movie medium, not a gaming medium. gnutux
let them think it matters. PS3 = low end blue ray player. Might as well have an dvd player with an upconverter for a fraction of the price. after comparing the 2, they look identical runnin on a 1080p tv. That is the ps3's blue ray player anyway.

The PS3's bluray player has actually gotten pretty good reviews from several audio-video enthusiast sites. I personally have a 56" 1080p set and I can definitely tell the difference between it and Bluray. It's night and day.

Sure it does. DVD upconverted doesn't even come close to HD movies.
MS's windows operating system is far out selling Sony's OS. So why is Sony not trying to push their computer operating system??? Same thing. MS does not make HD-DVD

Sure it does. DVD upconverted doesn't even come close to HD movies. Nor match the sound quality.

does sony make a os? No I ment to be sarcastic since no reason for MS to fight for a sytem like HD-dvd that is not theirs
MS said they are ready to push blue ray if it wins the format wars.
which it mostlikey will since they have warner bros and disney now on their list

the reason i think hddvd will win is because you cant find bluray at walmart or target,shopko,cosco,sams ETC..casuals make up most of the percentge of the population.im sure casuals attend a bestbuy or circuit city once amonth on average and wal mart probably once a week.If they see one of the formats at a location there mostly at, dont you think theyll get that format?
[QUOTE="Tulak_Hord"]MS's goal isn't to push HD-DVD.....sawthehorns8191
why would they add the player in the first place and put up adds on xbox live for it?....
Because, at the time, HDDVD was winning, and microsoft wanted to give their customers the option of a HD movie player. If they really cared about the format war, they would have built one of the two formats into the 360.
and did Microsoft ever claim they were trying to smash sony or bluray? simple fact is the format war will not be won by ethier side it will be won by the advent of hddvd/bluray combo/hybrid drives once they are released (which will be hard cause of sonys licenseing and non disclosure schemes they had put into the blu ray legal usage scenarios..effectively bind all combo drives in red tape and hybrid drives incapable of being legally made, which is one reason why samsungs combo drive never made it to retail)
