I think BluRay is the way to go any1 on myside?
-
I’m not well enough up on the subject to call for sure, but I know that Blu-ray disc has greater storage as opposed to HD-DVD. If formats were decided on the name alone I’d say Blu-ray would come out on top as its less of a mouthful than HD-DVD :P . Of course the fact the PS3 is a Blu-ray player has given Blu-ray the edge over HD-DVD, but its not over yet!
I watched Blood Diamond on Blu-ray the other night (a very good film rent it if you can get a copy). Seeing as it was displayed on a standard definition projector you couldn’t really see any marked difference between DVD & Blu-ray quality. Looked pretty much the same to me :oops:
Is there actually that much of a difference in visual quality to justify upgrading to a Hi-Def system at the moment? I think that most people don’t care about this format war or HD for that matter . . . .

Interesting side note though, the HD DVD Add-on for the Xbox 360 has sold over 155,000 Units in U.S since its release. Now while this is still a smaller percentage than the number of Blu-Ray drives in consumers hands due to the PS3, the difference between those two is that every HD DVD drive is purchased with the intention of playing movies. On the other hand, not every Blu-ray machine is (with the majority of them being PlayStation 3 consoles) purchased for movies.
Personally I reckon its all still up in the air. :)

I’d have to go with HD-DVD, for the sole reason that Blueray is Sony ;) They’ve brought out and failed with enough of their own standards now to know better (although they do seem to be doing better this time)

I think Bluray is bound to won because it many video store are already adapting to it, take xtra-vision for example. Sony might not be a good software company but they a damn good hardware company.
If the game industry is to improve we going to need Bluray, the developers imagination is limitless no more blo0ody compressions.

The capacity for a dual-layer HD-DVD is ~30GB, whereas the capacity for a dual-layer blu-ray disc is ~50GB. Regardless of the developers imagination, even 30GB is a *lot* of space to fill up for a game!!

Xtra vision upto recently hardly even stocked DS games whereas they dedicated a whole section to PSP. My local anyway. They’ll go with whichever makes them more money, eventually :D

I don’t think either is…I reckon the next format will be the winner…whether thats an online distribution network for music/games/tv etc or its the next disc version…isn’t there one on the way already thats way better than blue-ray?
