As per my previous news thread I guess the question is which format do you prefer? Personally, I am at this stage undecided.

me too:eek:

Me personally I think HD-DVD will win the fight just because HD-DVD makes more sense than Blue-ray. However I am still undecided which is actually better. This will only come with time. :rolleyes:

I'm also undecided at this stage...

you cannot be undecided Boney m8....................blu-ray is eating into the US market like wildfire..............:omg: :thumbup:

:omg: Okay! Okay! Okay!:lol: :lol: I prefer Blu Ray...

well i am undecided:thumbup:

i must say if i did not own a PS3 i would go with HD DVD but Blu-ray is also very good plus the BD disc's hold more information then a HD DVD i think only time will tell.

Blu-Ray for sure!

Ahhhh format wars... VHS vs Beta, film vs digital, DVDR- vs DVDR+, etc. As of right now I have not spent much time thinking about it. However, keep in mind just because something makes sense does not necessarily mean it will wind up the victor.

Blu-ray by now, but just slightly over the hd-dvd:thumbup:

gonna have to go with blue ray here

blu-ray 4 sure

the cheapest Format will in the end win the battle...My Tip HD-DVD

As a member of Blu-Ray I gotta tell you guys the field is getting smaller and smaller for HDDVD............lets call it BETAMAXHD from now on:lol:

Sony announced that "Vacancy" (new thriller) is coming out on Blu-Ray (August)
ALSO........
Today, Apple announced updates to their MacBook Pro line of laptops. The updates include an HDCP compliant (required for Blu-ray playback) nVidia GeForce 8600M GT graphics card and an optional 1080p display for the 17" model. Both of these additions to the product line strongly hint that a Blu-ray drive announcement is forthcoming, possibly as early as next week during Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).

ALSO..............Primera Technology today added to its Blu-ray Disc duplication offerings with its Bravo XRP-Blu Disc Publisher. Bravo XRP-Blu records and prints CD-R, DVD?R and BD-R formats with two drives and 100-disc capacity. The integrated Panasonic SW-5582 drives record CD-R, DVD?R in both single and dual-layer DVDs and Blu-ray Disc single and dual-layer with up to 50GB capacity per disc.

AND.............

20th Century Fox ...... It appears that all BD+ issues have been worked out, and Fox will release 'The Sentinel' on July 6th followed by 'Night at the Museum' and 'Species' on August 3rd in Japan. Hopefully, new titles for the US will be announced soon as well.

THE LIST GOES ON.................with over 300 major movie and electronics corporates now involved in blu-ray.................

Format wars suck, but my hdtv wants content so I can't just sit it out. Went with Blu-ray due to studio support.

Havent a clue about either.

Fill me in on some news of each pros and cons etc.

Do you need special player to play them and will one player play both formats as well as the current DVD's?

Also do you need special TV to watch them on to get the nost out of it?

As i said i havent a clue but i guess in time we will all have to decide one way or another :D

Having owned a PS3, I was disapointed with the Blu Ray line up, (baring in mind I'm in the UK, so not a lot of the top films have been released here yet). I got rid of my PS3 a couple of weeks ago, opted for a 360 with the HD add on, seems to be a much better line up (IMO).



I'm surprised Blu Ray is winning, it's more expensive than HD, but ah well, I rate both formats, I think Blu Ray probably edges it though (as far as size and potential go).

I have a Sony BDP-S1 and love it.

have you got the TV to go with it Hailstorm:biglaugh:

I have 56 inch 1080P DLP by Panasonic.

I'm going with Blu-Ray.

I have 56 inch 1080P DLP by Panasonic.

My whole stance on the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray matter is I don't care who wins as long as I get my HD fix. After watching both(format neutral, and owner of both) watching stardard definition is like watching VHS instead of DVD. Each platform has their good points and bad, but until there is a winner declared I am living with pure HD bliss!

:jedi: The battle continues...
