At one point I was the first kids I new with a VHS and then I was the first kid I knew with a DVD player....Just because you don't know anyone that owns one does not mean that it not selling

True, but I know plenty of people with HDTVs who make good money and none of them have any interest in HD media. My point is, the mass market demand for these products isnt there yet.

 

Then why did they even buy an HDTV? Crap in, crap out.

sdtv looks like crap, but dvds on an HDTV do not. thats the problem with hd movies. i have two hdtvs and i couldnt care any less about hd movie formats, because im not convinced the leap in quality from dvd to either blu ray or hd dvd is going to be even in the same ballpark as the leap in quality from sdtv to hdtv. add in the prohibitive cost of the players and the cost of the movies themselves, and add in the fact that there are two competing formats and no clear winner yet, and you have me and a whole lot of other people sitting on the sidelines for years to come.

 

DVD's will look exactly the same as digital SD broadcasts since they are the same resolution.

Guess what's outselling them both?

DVD

VHS outsold DVD by a large margin it's first few years as well.  So true with the horse and the car, the cruise ship and the airplane, the slide rule and the calculator, etc.

That doesnt make much sense. HDTVs have been out years before HDDVD and BR. Three local stations in my area broadcast HD signals and HD cable and Satalite exists.

 

That's exactly my point. Would you rather watch TV broadcasts in HD or SD? Same with media. Would you rather watch DVD or HD-DVD/Bluray? It's the exact same thing.

 

If I didn't already have a PS3, there is no way I would drop a ton of cash on a HD media player.... I would THINK about getting the HD-DVD drive for my 360, but I would not spend more than $200 on an HD player. Even though I own a 50" 1080P Samsung DLP set, I am fine with DVD on it.

 

Are you fine with regular SD digital cable broadcasts too, which are the same resolution as DVD's (480i)?

As HD media for 1080p video with 7.1 Surround? Yes.

For video games? No.

[QUOTE="alfy13"][QUOTE="alfy13"][QUOTE="tango90101"][QUOTE="alfy13"][QUOTE="tango90101"][QUOTE="Paddy345"][QUOTE="tango90101"]

indie studios and adult movie studios are both embracing hd dvd.. it's simply a better business model....

money will always trump name branding, as proven by the poor ps3 sales...

it's still early... hd dvd is shaping up to be the next leader due to better biz..

bluray? has "sony" and "playstation" name associated with it and a HUGE price tag associated with all things bluray..

not looking good for longterm bluray goals...

oh well I/B/T/L

tango90101

 

:lol: Where did you get that BS, porn is embracing blu ray last i heard, longer movies with better sound and incase you haven't noticed nearly 1 million ps3's were sold here in 2 weeks and the biggest movie industries are supporting blu ray, just cause a few small industries support hd dvd dosen't mean it's popular. If you wanna see how well hd dvd is doing here compared to blu ray look at sales and industry support and you will see blu ray is a clear winner

great...another noob..

bluray is not working with porn. do a google about sony not allowing adult movies on bluray....

in fact, Vivid Video is only making HD DVD movies... and they're the #1 distributor...

Maybe you should google more and get your fact straight. because right now its sounds like Vivid is going to support both HD DVD and Blu Ray.

yes.. bluray SOUNDS like it has a lot of support.. but alas... there is not ONE vivid movie in bluray...;)

http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/9278.cfm

pwned? yup...;)

begone...

it's funny becuase vivid also said it costs 3 TIMES more to author on bluray than hd dvd...

do you really think movie stuidos will ignore this factoid? think again...;)

lmao you just self owned your self. maybe you should of read the link you just posted before trying to claim ownage. but once again you just self owned your self.

but if you would of read it, you would of read this

" Porn companies have a problem with Blu Ray after its backer Sony Corp. moved to block production of porn format. Blu Ray ignoring the adult industry is heavy influenced by The Walt Disney CO. according to Steven Hirsch, founder of Vivid Entertainment Group. Vivid did find a REPLICATOR willing to produce BLU RAY porn however, and its belived the company will release DEBBIE DOES DALLS AGAIN ON THE FORMAT IN APRIL"

 

NOW CAN I SAY TANGO YOU JSUT SELF OWNED YOUR SELF ONCE AGAIN, NOW YOU CAN BE GONE. HAVE A GOOD DAY .

 

here you go tango, jsut incase you skipped this post for a reason.

i guess you just missed the part where they didn't actually create any movies yet...;)

what people say and what they do are often different..

with you being a sony supporter i would have thought you would have figured that out by now...:lol:

So once this release is available you will never again repeat the mantra that Bluray doesn't support porn?  Or will you move the goalposts again?

Tango, in the very link you provided, Vivid announced they found a replicator for the Bluray release of Debbie Does Dallas Again set for release in April.
