Another BS article about the ‘format wars’.
The article insists that the Blu-ray victory is good for consumers, then goes on to state, “...it will take 12 to 18 months for Blu-ray players to become as cheap and full-featured as HD DVD players.”
It’s good for consumers in the sense that there will now be only one standard format, hence no situation where movies from certain studios only play on one format — the format that you didn’t buy. No more agonizing over which technology to buy and trying to second-guess which one will have legs and therefore protect your investment. Now the choice is clear.
Is that the d@mn near 100.00 cable that we had to buy to get our Plasma tv to work right????
Sorry, post 27 was not for you but for tripitaka.
Yeah, I’ll concede that the BD disk format is superior to that of the HD-DVD, in terms of storage capacity. I don’t understand how a media format rushed to market before it was even fully complete and finalized could be considered superior to one that was, however. I guess Sony learned from MS getting the jump on them with the Xbox 360 over the PS 3. Can’t say I really care one way or the other - I don’t even watch a lot of movies, even on regular DVD.
