There are rumours now of microsoft producing a blu-ray player for the xbox-360, which would basically end HD-DVD as a format, so im confident ive backed the right horse now with PS3

I read an article in The Daily Mail today, that said that Paramount is not producing any movies in HD-DVD now, only Blu-Ray. So many people are saying that Blu-ray has officially won now.

I know you said it's a rumour... got any sources or proof though? Sounds interesting and would definately end the battle.

Why don't they just make something that plays both? Win-Win!

 

 

 

They do, but it is expensive. They have to pay for the licensing for both formats.

None of the studios wanted to use the format and it was abandoned.

Not really relevant but I found this website that compares a normal DVD with an HD one usng Lord of the Rings.

Personally, I really don't know the differences. I'm happy with both.

id say HD DVD because blue ray is going no where, and if im not mistaken costs more, and can only be played on certain players. Blue ray tech. isnt going to go as far as people think. but HD will. haha i dunno

Yeah, you pretty much are completely wrong.

 

 

 

Universal confirmed today they are no longer HD-DVD exclusive. This is pretty much the end of the game as far as HD-DVD in the movie business. They are already doing damage control by stating that HD-DVD has a place in data backup so they are trying to stay relevant.
