  • "And to anybody not in the USA...DEEERP, U DONT LIVE IN A FREE COUNTREE, U JEALLOUS OF OUR FREEEDOM."

  • lol I got an early announcement on this, so I sold my hd-dvd xbox 360 attachment for like a hundred bucks on ebay, 2 weeks later best buy had them on clearance for $30.

  • Comment removed

  • @rickie5150 lol it didnt

  • This is why I'm glad I waited until 2010 to upgrade from a DVD player:)

  • @YZRacer3232 Eleven months, really?, you felt like commenting on something that I wrote eleven months ago?.

    Wow. That's quite impressive. They said the same thing when CD was replacing cassette tape (although they didn't actually say 'retarded' as that fad has only been around for a few years and is mostly used by the under 12's)

  • hd dvd got owned just like 360 got owned by ps3

  • @drockstar1 Idiot, the 360 didn't get owned like HD DVD. They didn't stop production of the 360 nor have the stopped making games for it either.

    Damn fanboys just dont give up.

  • how do you like the 32inch HDTV?

  • Blu-Ray is dead, or will be in the next few years. Digital is the future.

  • Yes I agree. we are now stepping into the Digital age and out of the electronic age

  • hd-dvd i would keep everything i bought for it, i would sell it like 20 years from now and it'll be worth a crap load

  • Well i think its simple. As soon as i heard the 2 different names, Blu Ray was always going to win. It was the same as VHS or Bettamax ! Its always what sounds better, you have to sell it to the public.And the quality was prob beter with Betamax , bit it sounds geeky !!

  • Blu-Ray Rocks!

  • sony ftw

  • I just picked up my first HD player with 20 movies for a total of $100. How? It was an HD DVD. I couldn't even buy a blue ray player for that price.

  • Souds like sombody was just trying to get of their HD DVD because they knew BLU-RAY won the format war.You won't be able to buy any more HD DVD movies for it.They soon to be gone all together, just like trying to find the newest release on VHS.

  • I bought a computer player for $26 and a few really cheap disks on ebay.

  • I don't really care about the quality, DVD quality i dont mean HD-DVD i mean normal DVD quality is good enough for me.

  • Not for long dude, I heard a few companies will only be releasing on blu-ray. It won't be long before that becomes the norm.

  • yee, thats why i have a ps3 jsut incase (y)

  • ZoneTechProductions you're the man

  • so your against the progression of technology

  • No, I'm not against it, thing is I don't care about the Quality, DVD Quality was something good enough for me, VHS was kinda messed up DVD got it right, Blu-Ray looks amazing but, Honestly, I don't really see the reason why I need to upgrade right away.

  • blu ray is already starting to go. Future is full 1080P downloads and massive hard drives.

  • lol. if you have a blu-ray player and a hd tv, movie downloads wont even come close to the ammount of clear picture and detail blu-ray has to offer, just admit it. blu-ray IS the future.

  • Movie downloads are not really worth it. Hard Drives just aren't dependable places to store your videos.

  • Massive hardrives? But you would lose everything if your hardrive failed. So why bother?

  • not really today they have a little system....I somehow got 4 xbox live arcade games deleted and i went back to the download page and re downloaded it for free....its not hard for the people that run the servers know what you have and have not downloaded.

  • What am I going to do up convert my dvd library it ends up looking and sounding better. Where is it that we lost we didn't

  • GE made a 500GB disc. thats all i have to say, bluray is dead.

  • so? theres a 500gb bluray anyway

  • whats GE?

  • I've heard of these discs. But they're not practical. Just one player for this disc will be EXPENSIVE. Why do you want blu-ray to lose anyway? Do you happen to own a 360?

  • blu-ray is better because it has mors menory like 50gb and they have a 500gb blu-ray disc too. i am from the furture

  • You don't know what you are talking about.

  • Hey

    I have both I have the 360 with it's HD-DVD player and have a PS3 for the games and blu-ray discs :)

    I am going to keep the hd player since I have some hd movies that I will only get on blu-ray if the player dies heh.

  • LOL at 02:16 !!!

  • hd-dvd is dead if there comes a movie in holland its dvd or blu-ray not hd-dvd

  • Even more people dont know that Betamax was actually better quality than VHS but more expensive to produce. TV stations would use strictly beta tapes for content prior to digital tv because of its high quality.

  • blu-ray will be dead in a year (or two),,, go ahead and waste your mone on blu ray

  • And whats going to replace it? HD-DVD is inferior and Downloads will never be accepted standard.

  • You know 10 years ago when DVD's were brand new you probably said the same thing about DVD dont lie and say you didnt

  • I prefer Blu-Ray.

  • I own a PS3 but I thought HD-DVD where goign to win simply because when people hear "HD-DVD" they instantly know what it is. but when you start to talk about blu-ray they just go, wait what?

  • That's not that case. From the beginning it was obvious that Blu-Ray was going to be the predominant formance since Sony and many other companies that worked on Blu-Ray project.

  • watch?v=0_fS6D5RELs

  • Yeah, you're a moron to have invested that much into HD.

    Blu-ray will be dead in a year (or two)

    ...but go ahead invest $200 in a blu-ray player plus discs

    ouch

  • I totally agree with you i waited like 4 years for blu ray discs now they just seem pointless like omg wth!!???

  • who really cares about hd? I don't reall care that much, if you do, ugg!

  • Im glad blu ray won. it is an amazing disk and unless internet streaming becomes popular over the next few years i belive it should be come the replace DVD's. Why? Quality, the disks themselves are virtually immortal in comparision to DVD's and i love all the new featurs of blu ray players and when it comes to using them for back up and data storage its basicly immpossible to run out of space on a disk when you can up to 500GB on a single burnable disk :D which in turn reduces disk managment

  • Things like apple tv will be big before blu-ray replaces dvds

  • And your point is? Apple Tv is used to stream video audio or things like that froma Mac to a TV which serves no perpose as you could easily connect your mac to your TV so the only thing stopping blu ray is the customers who dont seem to want to look into the technology and simply reject it due to price which isnt quite right because if i remember DVD was VERY expensive when it first came out

  • Haha

    You're slamming things about the the present technology I said would be developed into the thing that will replace DVD's/Blu-rays

    They won't want to "look into the technology"... are you fucking kidding me?

    When's the last time you saw an add for apple tv? The reason?

    This type of thing isn't be advertised because it's a year or two off. Once it's ready to completely obliterate blu-rays, it will be brought out to the public of aggressively.

    Good luck with your investment

  • why not just replace dvds for HD-DVDs and then everyone is happy

  • well what if you cant afford the player and there are movies comming out and you cant have maybe in atleased 6 years DVds will be gone and all Blu-ray and they will be the standard well we all know in a few years dvds are going to be gone and why 6 years it took 6 years affter dvd beat laserdisc that they stopped making VHS

  • i would rather have quality over quantity..oh wait i did make the right desision up converted dvds

  • FANBOYS! FUCK YE!-_- Get a life.

  • and your typing is really really stupid.

  • and blind idiots who like it overly bright and colors that do not blend perfectly with the movie..god this planet is stupid.

  • you are proof of that

  • Proof of what GOD DAMN YOU MAKE NO FUCKING SENCE. You stupid mother fucker.All you pro Sony fucks are worthless you are proof of morons who like inferrior games and graphics..YOU ARE THE FUCKING IDIOTS.

  • You are such a pissy moron! Sony is just plain better ! The only reason Xbox sold so many 360's is because they released it as early as they could, cause they KNEW sony was gonna make a better consol! You have to pay extra for a HD-DVD player, you have to pay to play online.. Xbox blows !

  • nope blu gay sucks and upconverted dvds look better and the colors are not over whelming the picture quality on blu gay looks horrible..I will wait for a better format to come out dipshit. Let me guess you also think home is great right? would not fucking surprise me. hurry up and die

  • Is this because you cant afford a PS3? Did you save all your money for an Xbox? Your being a complete dick dude... Calm down you act like Blu-Ray actually got your mom pregnant and then left her..

  • No I would just like the so called new format to actually be good....which it is deffinately not. Like I said I will just stick with upconverting dvds untill one does.

  • Well then stick with your upconverted DVD's then .. They look pretty good too, but it is just nowhere near as sharp as Blu-Ray.. Don't know why you are so pissed about this.. Noone forces you to watch it! But for now I think it is clearly the best available..

  • The reason I am pissed is because HD DVD is way better looking and the movie watching experience much much much better and then this crappy blu gay format comes out on top. Now I will not be able to watch and enjoy other movies in the superior format..I am sick of crap always comming out on top all because of what a company has it's worthless ties to. Now I will not be able to have an awsome HD experience in my home theater except with the movies that I have in HD DVD format.

  • But if you like cartoon looking color, horrible contrast, and flickering in the dark areas and slow down at times, then blu gay is deffinately for you.

  • I really cant tell the difference in picture quality between HD DVD and BD, but I know that BD has bigger discs so that it will contain better audio and more special features... There was no room for 2 HD formats, and the people chose BD... Guess thats it!

  • lol i dont think bigger disc has better audio does the big disc used on the gramophone big?

  • HD DVD is a good format but it just dosn't hold as much as blu-ray (HD DVD 15gb, Blu-ray 50gb)

  • HDDVD Single layer-15gb

    Double layer-30gb

    Bluray Single layer-25gb

    double layer-50gb or you can go all the way to 20 layers which at 25 gb a layer thats 500gb!!!!!!!!!!!! or 300gb on a HDDVD

  • Blu-ray is clearly better than DVD, just like DVD is clearly better than VHS. btw, upscaling just plays DVD at a higher resolution it dose not enhance the movie it self.

  • I waited, that's what I did. I bought a PS3 recently and a Sony Bravia 46" Z series and it looks awesome watching Blu-ray movies!!!

  • i went to circuit city yesterday and in the blu-ray section they had 1 hd-dvd

  • like sony xbox and wii blu-ray reigns the dvd word. get out the vhs and dvd world and get a blu-ray. of course if u can afford one. probably not. i went blu-ray and im never going back.

    All who agree then agree

    Haters can suck a pickle

  • You hate the AVS forum? I am a member lol

  • yeah blu-ray does look better than hd-dvd

  • It really depends on the movies.  Both can display up to 1080p. Blu-Ray at 1080p is the same exact thing as HD DVD at 1080p. Its like saying two different cars going at 100 mph is not the same speed.

  • oh,i see.

    I'm just saying in my opinion the quality looks better

  • also depends on the tv and which player

  • Nice eyebrows ;)

  • When I get an HDTV I'll just buy a ps3 so I can have blu-ray and a few games.

  • yeah same u save money that way aswell

  • cheap blue ray movies

    /watch?v=o60qYdeDbcQ

  • Blu ray is great . its much much better then downloads. reasoning being companys really only use 720p and with compresstion. so you get much more on the blu ray disc.

  • blu-ray still cost to much 30 bucks for one movie....hell i will still buy regular DVD's cheaper and have the ps3 up-convert them and still look great, hell up-converted movies look better then the downloaded movies because the dvd holds about 4 gigs and downloaded movies are about 3-4 gigs and trying to stretch that compressed info just looks bad. so don't feel bad guys i only stent 50 bucks for my 360 drive and i still us it. DVD in add-on and game in system...can ps3 do nope. so still allgood

  • There is a lesson here... don't fuck with Sony.

  • i know, microsoft shouldn't have released there player so early.

  • TO all who think blue ray can't fit on an ipod they can and they will apple is smart. HD why is it gone?

  • I don't care about movie downloads, what if your HD is full. Disks are so you don't fill up your HD. What if you want to bring a movie to someone's house? Disk, not download.

  • For downloads to catch up we'll need to wait for the "Internet2" as it's being called. Which will be able to transfer at approx. 9.08 Gigabytes per second.

  • blue ray looks sweet

  • Do people think that people will eventually download movies in the future??? Seriously how are you going to fit it? A blu-ray movie is about 30-50gigs! Think about waiting to download something that huge and how long it will take! So of course they will make the quality crap on it!

  • blu-ray is god of digital quality

  • Gay ass Angels Cap what a queer

  • in scandinavia the hd dvd still rules

    it has 96% of the sales

  • that sucks man. it means hd dvd owners wont have any support either from the makers of the player or the studios for movies. Never mind the factories to produce the format for local industry

  • so how many HD you got 4...

  • Blue Ray

  • so that means are they still going to be making HD DVD Movies?

  • no, no more hd dvd movie support from studios, so your kinda stuck

  • Its all about marketing, it doesn't matter how good your product is. The Betamax actually had better quality then VHS but the former was better advertised and cost less. Were all cheap, penny pincher's at heart.

  • lol, happy monday to you too :P im very happy right now... im glad to back up Blu-ray :)))

  • the blueray had to win, beacause of sony having it in the ps3

  • and plus blu-ray sounds cooler :p

  • yeah! hd dvd!? got no imagination! xD

  • in movies, is better, but in game its like the same, hd dvd have the same resolution than the blue ray, the blue ray is faster, have more gigabites, and that stuff, soo, if you want graphics, you may buy anyone, hd dvd, or blue ray, but blue ray is more faster, the only thing, i thing mycrosoft going to create something, come on, its mycrosoft, you thig mycrosoft is not going to do something? just wait

  • main difference between blu ray n HD..is the size of the discs..u may b able to get the same stats on HD as u do blu ray but when u actually use all of the blu ray's room then try n port that 2 a HD DVD thats when things get ugly..with compression..as for microsoft the only thing they can do right now is wait n hope 2 god sony lets em have a blu ray licence..and if sony was smart..they would wait till the PS3 is outselling the xbox anyway just 2 b on the safe side

  • reason i say that is because the programmers know the xbox so well u give em blu ray format..2 be honest they will own PS3..atleast untill programmers can use the CELL properly anyway and its 7 processors..i myself being a PS3 owner

  • This Wont Do Anything To The Market Anyway, Not That Many People Have BlueRay ... Or HD For That!! Besides, Toshiba Is A Sucky Ass Brand Anyway

  • I am ready to buy an HD-DVD version, because it is no longer needing to update to firmware.

    I will buy this immediately before end of

    March. I will try to remember not get

    too late to phase out in the stores.

  • Well the ps3 blue-ray is always been better them the 360 regular DVD player

  • Microsoft is making a new sort of blu-ray player and it will be better than blu-ray. It will be able to connect it to your 360 and then you have better movies(and mabye game)-quality

  • Ummm...... do you have any resources of this?

    Don't lie and say a rumor is the truth.

    Microsoft doesnt want anything to do with blu ray right now, so dont go posting and telling us lies.

  • no, how can you get better than full 1080p HD?

  • for some people it would be happy tuesday...you know? int'l date line...

  • DO SOMETHING FOR YOUR COUNTRY WITH IT. bring your player to a museum. you might even make cash.XD

  • for ontario it was family day.

    but thanks for the happy monday!!

  • you know why peapole who have ps3 hate the xbox fan because your litle gay song who saying ps3 is crap and blu ray nothing lol this song suck because now bluray have won i dont remember the name of that song but LOL this song suck

  • 2:16 is the best part. :)

  • I'm going to wait till download catch up. beside I just bought DVD upsclaer player. and blu-ray movies are more expensive and not all movies come out on blu-ray. and $400 ps3 no thanks! I paid $90 for DVD upsclaer yesterday. I'll use DVD till download starts getting better. Appple TV HD doesn't look bad. so wait a year or two till they improve.

  • We never know. Many people said the same about DVD when VHS was the mainstream.

  • Plus Almost every movie that comes out is not only in DvD but also in Either Blu-Ray or HD DVD (now just Blu-Ray) =).

  • Varshen imma let you know right now. Blu ray is big cause every game on ps3 are all mostly blu ray disk. =)

  • fuck all this blu-ray HD DVD shit, im sticking with DVD :)

  • cause you poor.

  • its basically the same shit, same movie a little clearer

  • I don't know about that. What are you going to do when HD-TV's are taking over? Honestly, there are no CRT TV's on the market anymore.

  • Didn't Betamax have like little tapes in it?

  • damn you're so cute marry me hehe

  • lol who wants to download 50 Gb?!

  • i cant bielive microsoft is gunna make a blu ray add on...which is a total rip off of sonys tech

  • lol, well if it does happen the 360, the xbox won't be 100% microsofts idea and design.

  • if microsoft waited a few more months untill release they could have put blue ray on

  • wow, one war ends, then another fuckin one starts in the comments. that's not immature at all.

  • did u mean thats not mature at all? <__<

  • wow man, you didn't pick up on the sarcasm? and no i didn't mean "that's not mature at all".

  • u're not making ne sense.. w/e

  • yeah, except sony lost with betamax. now their plan for world domination is falling into place...

  • haha, then u can suck dick when MGS 4 comes out, and GT5, no one cared about Gears of war 2 and all that stuff, they will be ported on PC like Gears of war 1, so u can suck dick ^_^

  • gears of war rocks metal gear is great too,stop hating 360 its a great system,ps3 fanboys hate everything thats not PS and sony

  • i have to admit im a ps fanboy but hey xbox has some real good games so iff you can afford but them both and dont bash the other 1

  • HAHA ,X360 EATS SHIT NOW, HAHAHAHAHAHAAH, fuck the X360 and the fucking bax fans, eat my shit and fuck ur sisters u fucks

  • why do people think this will affect the console wars?this meens nothing and to all the dipshit ps3 fanboys 360 has a external blu ray drive coming out in may so STFU,i understand where sony was coming from but their planned kinda backfired on them putting blu ray in the ps3,360 is a gaming console fuck hddvd,bluray is more of a movie player,not many big games on ps3 right now,360 rocks gears 2 coming in november

  • i ment ps3 is more of a movie player

  • Nope, the games are still fun, look good , perform good..and each game that comes out gets better and better..360 is nowhere near dieing you STUPID FUCKER.

  • uh u stupid fuck...

  • Well,Toshaba(However you spell that)Learned what every other company learned when they fucked with Sony.And that little leason is that Sony will kick you in the nuts if you stand in the open with your legs spread apart!So im glad im on Sonys team!

  • that video suck

  • Sony = 1

    Microsoft = 0

  • BRING BACK 8 TRACS!...BRING BACK 8 TRACS!... whos with me..? DAMN!

  • 8 tracks recorded in dolby 5.1! that would be pretty cool

  • Alot of people will be buying the PS3 only as a blu-ray player. That stratigy is good and all, but that won't increase the software sales largely, 3rd party companies will eventually stop making PS3 games, PlayStation will lose it's momentum with what it's known for (games), and will eventually kill the PlayStation brand. So this plan may backfire on Sony.

  • dream on wii fanboy

  • With Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran Turismo 5, Resistence 2, God of War 3, Twisted Metal, LittleBigPlanet, and other exclusive titles, people won't use the PS3 as just a Blu ray player anymore.

  • GOOD

  • bring back 8 trac...bring back 8 tracs....whos with me.....DAMN!

  • Get as MANY HD DVDs as you can. They are selling movies for cheaper than DVDs and HD DVD has more extra content so instead of waiting for the movies to show up on Blu ray just snag as many HD DVDs you can and then when Blu ray gets cheap enough or you have enough cash snag a PS3.

  • i still say xbox has the better exlusives as a game system. but yes, sony won here, and i feel they may be gaining momentum. like i said im still much more of an xbox fan due to the lack of quality exlucsives for ps3, but as of now i am planning to buy a ps3. its just the best deal when it comes to getting blu-ray. why pay 500$ for a player when you can get so much more with the ps3 for the same amount of money?

  • Well im a big fan of xbox360 and i say that the blue ray is better hello im a microsoft fan and i love the blue ray who doesnt right i knew it from long time that the hd dvd will die some day but very slow anyway i got great news UNIVERSAL STUDIOS FINALY SAID THAT THEY ARE GOING BLUE RAY THIS MONTH OR THE NEXT but hey it is kind sad i meen lots of people will lose there jobs beacuse hd died anyway rip hd dvd you could have been better

  • It is better. It looks better, performs better, Sounds better..just because a bunch of sheep buy into it does not mean sheep are intellegent..This Dragon eats sheep and ignores thier horrible choice of inferrior format.

  • Its about time Sony won a format war.

    It was obvious though that BluRay was gonna win because of the amount it can carry.

    Im just glad i got a PS3 wooo.

  • ah, format wars, first came the VHS versus sony's BETAMAX(BETAMAX was by far superior in sound and video quality plus it could hold more video per cm of tape), but VHS won, then came SD versus sony's MMCD(MMCD was by far superior again), but SD won, Now comes HD DVD versus sony's Blu-Ray(Blu-Ray is superior to HD DVD), now who's gonna win?

  • well blu ray has already OFFICIALLY won so yeh your question was pointless

  • "Wait, we lost?"...."umm uhh I'm content with dvds"

    lol...what a pathetic cop out and sore loser attitude.

  • I'm talking about HD-DVD fanboys obviously.

  • bluray is great, quality really is fantastic, and the ps3 was one of the better purchases i made all last year, for an entertainment system that is

  • the xbox360 is going to go down the tubes for this. (among many other reasons)

    oh well, blu-ray's was the better format from the start, so i expected this to happen eventually. hooray for blu-ray!

  • Blu-ray is still far behind HD-DVD, Bluray has no stable blu ray player out yet. Once 2.0 is relased. I'll jump on board.

  • go ps3. it is the cheapest player and is completely future proof player, and you
