Without a doubt Blu-Ray for me even though I like HD too. The PS3 is dedicated to Blu-Ray while the Xbox 360 has an option for an add on HD player. PS3 games are being made on Blu-Ray. And there is no way they will ever drop off. The picture quality is better than HD. I just got my free PS3 a couple weeks ago and I cannot believe what all the PS3 can do. I got it mainly because of the Blu-Ray feature but man this thing is awesome. I will use HD as well though =)
And here is a clip from wikipedia about Blu-Ray Supporters: "Blu-ray Disc has gained a large amount of support in the corporate world,[33] with companies such as Apple Inc., Dell, and Panasonic supporting it. Blu-ray Disc was first developed as a joint venture between Sony Corporation and Philips (inventor of the Compact Cassette, Laserdisc, and Compact Disc) in 2002[34] as a next generation data and video storage format alternative to DVD." And another : "Currently, Blu-ray Disc is exclusively supported by Sony Pictures Entertainment and MGM (both owned by Sony) as well as Disney, 20th Century Fox, and Lionsgate. It is non-exclusively supported by Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema. Several members of the Blu-ray organization's Board of Directors, such as Hewlett-Packard, Samsung, and LG, pledged support to Blu-ray Disc, and later, also supported HD DVD." Blu-Ray isn't going anywhere. If anything they will co-exist Last edited by GetrDone; 08-27-2007 at 11:36 PM. |

We have a sony fan boy :D, I started buying the movies in the HD/DVD combo pack. After doing a LITTLE research imo I think HD will come out on top, just read EgeKrusher response. It's nice to have the Combo Disc because they can still be played on a standard DVD player, then when the time comes pick up a HD player!

The exclusivity thing is stupid. First you have the Blu Ray camp touting how Sony, Dinsey, etc... are exclusive to them and then they say the Paramount deal (Paramount is backing HD) is hurting consumers. This "format wars" is a joke and if BluRay and HD continue to co-exist their sales will never be great.
In six months (January 1st - July 1st 2007) HD DVD and Blu Ray about 2.34 million copies of movies. X-Men: The Last Stand alone sold over 5 million copies in it's first week on DVD. The market isn't ready...

The players themselves are expensive, but this is a pittance compared to what we are likely to spend on discs.
I have spent thousands on DVDs. I don't mind doing this. What I would mind is spending thousands on a format that fails in the market, and then having to re-buy them because eventually the players to play them will just not be available (a la Betamax). DVDs have been the dominant format for many years now, and these newer format players are backwards compatible, so DVD is a safe bet. However blu-ray/HD-DVD do not have enough market share to be a safe bet. Even the fact that blu-ray is in PS3 does not make it a safe bet as a movie format - consoles have a relatively limited useful life. |
