November 07, 2007, 08:21:03 PM

hope this is not a repost i got HD DVD because i allready had a XBOX360. So price wise for me was the best way to upgrade so Facts or Not. The Question is do you like HD DVD or Blu-Ray better and why? Got all this in the last 4 days plus i get 5 more movies in the mail Free.

Sony is a company that mostly cares about making things and making money quick so for that being their downfall plus the design of the Blu-Ray discs themselves the only way i might get blu-ray is PS3 otherwise i won't. Also being that most PS3 games suck the Blu-Ray discs do sell a little faster can't play great games gotta do something else. Thats just what i think

PS3 games rock,360 games suck(except for a select few,halo3 etc).
Sony already won the war in my book,their system is more like a complete computer/home entertainment system than anything i've ever seen.
360 is just a gaming system,yay!
As for the blue-ray/hd battle,have yet to watch either but i think blue ray will have this one wrapped up due to it's hard drive like 50gb storage capacity.

Blu - Ray looks much better than HD DVD

I mean I don't even think I can say IMO

I know it's better.

HD DVD still kicks DVDs ass but Blu - Ray wins the prize

People are going to catch on to HD DVD better than Blu ray, simply because it sounds more familiar. I think its also cheaper.

Blu-Ray will win. Disney teamed up with them to produce all their movies in Blu-Ray.

HD-DVD will be the Betamax of this decade. I wonder if my neighbor still has his old Betamax...

I'm going to have to side with HD-DVD. Especially since Walmart is going to sell a player for 100 bucks. What's the cheapest blu ray player? 300 or 400 bucks? Not only that, dvd factories are able to produce hd dvd's the same way traditional dvds are produced. To make blu ray discs they will need to revamp the whole works. It comes down to an issue of the bottom line. It's cheaper to watch and produce hd dvd's. As far as quality, I watch both blu ray and hd dvd's on a 100" projector screen and the difference is not significant. The only thing that will keep blu ray alive is the sony fanboys.

I hate to turn this into a Playstation/360 argument, but my roommate has both. He's got the hd player with his xbox and we watch a lot of movies. My personal pick has to be the 360 by far. It has a much better online infrastructure even if it isn't free. There are more games available for the 360. Not only that, most game developers prefer to code for the 360 because coding for the ps3 is a nightmare. At my place the ps3 has done little more than gather dust since it arrived. We do watch a few blu rays on it, but hd is preferred.

I can't believe Sony is foolish enough to wage this war again. If they've got money to burn then bring down the price of that PS3 and help developers make some games!!! I was a loyal Playstation owner but no more. The only two games I was interested in were the new Final Fantasy Series and Soul Calibur 4. That's like 5 games. And SC4 will be on Xbox. Hopefully Final Fantasy (not those MMORPGs) will make it over to Xbox 360.

In the end it doesn't matter which one is "better" (see Betamax, Dreamcast & etc... ). It's which one becomes adopted by the masses. But I haven't seen either. I thought about buying an HD DVD player for the Xbox but I think I will wait and see who wins this battle and spend my money elsewhere.

It kinda is anyways. PS3/Blu-Ray vs. Xbox360/HD DVD. It's kinda odd to have a discussion without mentioning the consoles... excuse me, entertainment systems that support them.

Well since Sony made Betamax and already lost to Toshiba's VCR I don't think they would make the same mistake twice. Also, Blu-Ray has some strong studios behind it.

I think you will see a lot of people going to dual players that will play both formats. I think that both will have a market and that HD DVD will prevail in the sprint, but Blu-Ray will win the marathon.

HD DVD players might be cheaper but not all the discs are Blu-Ray still has cheaper discs most of the time but the cost of some money is the same price no matter which you own.

BioShock
Forza 2
Halo 3

and i got 90 more games so just trust me XBOX is 1 year ahead of PS3 and will have more games and stuff to do before both systems phase out. Also 10 HD DVDs and spent almost 50,000 microsoft points to save the math "over $600".

The xbox360 has 2 free games and HDMI cables to throw in for X-mas.

PS3 has spider-man 3 on Blu-Ray and some movies in the mail because the still are lacking in games.

The Wii is just a nice game system with a few minor extras but seems to sell the fastest and plays no movies at all.

Also i still seem to have money to get this Vortech SC..........still need a few more parts before i get it all put on. Oh well its a nice start and I am sure my E-cam will like it a lot.

A lot of studios are actually going to dual format. It isn't going to be long before Disney decides to go dual format.

Previous failure does not mean future success. Look at mini disk, memory stick, umd's. While they enjoyed a short period of prosperity, they died a quick death. I will be surprised if blu ray has even a quarter of the market share by this time next year.
