Guess what Blue-ray uses Microsoft and its VC-9 codec, Microsoft is apart of blue-ray lol.

You're thinking of VC-1, and it's the movie studios who decide what codec they use when they encode the transfer.

Blu-Ray and HD DVD are both out of date.

Digital distribution via cable & sattelite TV is the future.

Both are presently incapable of transmitting a 1080p signal with DTS-HD or DolbyTrueHD sound and will be for the near future. The bandwidth requirements are massive and even Verizon FiOS TV, which I have, couldn't do it and it's about a year old and very limited in availability.

The Wii will have games looking better than RE4 do to higher resolutions and more processing power. RE4 still knocks out alot of next gen games Visually. peacebringer
RE4 ran at 480p. The Wii maxes at 480p. The Wii is not capable of doing higher resolutions than RE4.

Here is why I don't care:

Dvd's still own.

Not on a 56" 1080p set they don't. In fact, over the air HD signals are much better than DVD.

Scroll Down to the "Who developed Blu-ray" part and read the list of Board of Directors. Apple and Sony are on that list not mention Dell who is sided with Sony. I dont see Microsoft getting blu-ray unless they are ready to pay up big $$

Sony would have to allow fair use to Microsoft under the same terms offered to other licensees or face a hoard of anti-trust litigation.

Any setup can be good as long as it isn't Bose. Bose = garbage.

Yeah i agree i bought bose and returned it fast. its $3000 and the sound sucks when you bring it home. They have the demo disc fix or something because its sounds good till you get it home and put in your own movies

True, the garbage comment was a little overboard.  It's just that you can get much better equipment for the the same, and sometimes less, than the cost of Bose.

[QUOTE="Bgrngod"][QUOTE="LoG-Sacrament"]if ms wanted hddvd to win the hd format war, they should have been more aggressive with their support for it. jigglebilly1983
They have no real reason to give a darn about HD-DVD other then it being against Sony. It doesn't hurt MS if HD-DVD fails, where as it would have hurt Sony had it succeeded over Blu-Ray.

it kind of does hurt them, cuz when HD-DVD dies, there will be a bunch of pissed off people with 200 dollar paper wieghts. i would feel pretty burned if that was me.

That's a risk HD-DVD supporters took when they bought the unit. I bought a Toshiba standalone HD-DVD player last summer for over $500. Bluray will mostly likely win and I'll probably have to take a bath on the unit. But that's the price you pay for being an early adopter sometimes.

[QUOTE="magus-21"][QUOTE="nickmag"]wow...wow... talk about contradicting yourself for a quick buckBgrngod
Microsoft never said they were against BluRay. Like I said, Peter Moore said last year that they'd support BluRay if the market supported it. Well, now the market supports it.

The market is not even coming close to supporting Blu-Ray. Just because Blu-Ray is beating HD-DVD right now, does not mean the market supports it. 250k units of Blu-Ray movies sold is a smal pitence of the total DVD9 sales for movies. Blu-Ray has to beat DVD9 to become market supported. It could very well fail completely if digital distribution catches on.

Bluray doesn't have to beat DVD to be market supported. DVD was market supported long before it beat VHS. Hell, the 360 isn't even outselling the PS2. Would you say the 360 isn't market supported?
