[QUOTE="ramey70"][QUOTE="tango90101"]the only one's who truly think bluray is better are the fanboys who simply don't know any better...
i love the obscure links they bring up to try to prove bluray is somehow going to be a success, when everyone knows it's bound for obscurity as betamax was....
blurays is more costly than hd dvd with no discernable advantage to warrant the extra $300.....
hd dvd has lower authoring costs leaving greater profits for the movie makers.
The real proof is the fact that of all the supposed "support" that bluray has, there jsut doesn't seem like that many movies are being re-released in bluray....
it's a bad idea from the onset..... too much, too soon....:(

Have you been hiding under a rock for the past few months? The real knock on HD-DVD now is that nothing is being released for it and Universal (HD-DVD's big exclusive studio) has nothing big slated for heard release in the future. Disney and Fox both have monster schedules upcoming for Bluray. For the talk of people being fanboys it might be advantageous to do a little research yourself before you begin to appear as one yourself.i guess you simply forgot about WB re-releasing many, many of their older titles on hd dvd...
meanwhile you're simply counting new releases....
ps... porn is backing hd dvd...buh bye bluray..;)
it wouldn't hurt you to do a bit more research before posting again...;)
Porn will be available on Bluray as well. Either way, porn will be a non-factor this generation due to the internet. In the Betamax-VHS war the only real way to get full video porn in the home was via those two formats. Not so today. And best of all, porn on the interent can be had for free. Regarding WB's old releases, many of those will also be available on Bluray, if not all as they are a dual format supporter. Further, when I say new releases I don't just mean new movies. Disney and Fox are also going back in their extensive catalouge to release movies as well. I'm more into home theater than I am gaming. I spend far more time at AVS than I do here. I could care less which format "wins" but at this point all signs are pointing to Bluray probably winning. Even on AVS, the HD-DVD supporters have pretty much thrown in the towel and see the writing on the wall.
