well actually in the UK HD is the top selling format for High Definition i only know one person who has Blue Ray and he evan said that he prefers HD He Said Blue Ray has 50 gbs but it dosnt need that much HD is cheaper and you get just as many features if not more and on top of that the quality is basicly the same as each other so i recommend HD
Oh, and the fact you can pick up this player for £170 in the UK with 5 free HD-DVDs (and this will fall to sub-£150 by Christmas) means BluRay is dead in the water.
but who has more support from film stidios and big brand makes like sony,philips..etc.. The only reason why they are selling them off cheap is because they can't get rid of them. if u live in UK, then go into HMV and you will see what i mean.
na, blockbuster is taking out HD DVD and i see aload more blu rays. I don't care much anyway, i'm just saying. DVd better myself, more of them and there cheaper. I like blu ray games.
Microsoft are releasing a XBox 360 with an inbuilt HD DVD player, so they can create games with HD DVD. Australians are actually starting to buy more HD DVDs that Bluray, so one of our major electrical stores have nearly ditched Bluray all together.
that's stupid, over here it's beating HD DVD by far because of ps3's own built in blu ray. think about it, would you A, buy a ps3 with blu ray and a media console for £300 or an HD DVD player for £300 with nothing BUT and HD DVD player? i reall think due to alot of research that HD DVD will fail in the long run
Personally, I've got the PS3, and yeah, a lot of gamers would adopt the blu-ray format as it is built-in into PS3. But the majority of the consumers won't spend $499 on a blu-ray player (or a PS3, even IF you also can play on it) when a HD DVD-player cost around $299. And this christmas holiday, Venturer are gonna release their HD DVD-player for a groundbreaking $199. That's a cheap way to adopt HD-movies. So I think that HD DVD will provail in the end, simply becuase of its unbeatible price!
HD DVD will win because of one thing only: the name. Average consumers don't know what Blu Ray is, but they know what HD is and they know what DVD is, so they know what a HD DVD player is. It's that simple; even if HD-DVD was significantly worse than Blu Ray it would still win just because of the name. Blu Ray CAN'T win, no matter how much money Sony throw at it, because it has a stupid name. It will be the betamax of the 21st century.
I have that player and a hdtv acl panel and when I watch a HD DVD movie the movie is small in the middle of the screen unless I use the zoom from my tv...WHY?
are you man or woman?

well, to ne honest, none of them can take of like DVD is. But i do think maybe not now the blu ray will win in the long run.
