Yeah glad to hear sony make's good products !! Just got a new 250g PS3 today ... My first game's are Metal Gear Solid 4 , God of War 3 and MLB 10 The Show came with the 250gig PS3 !! I'ma happy camper :-)
After labor day i'm getting new TV Sony Bravia 40'' 1080p !!! So Sony you got ALOT of money from me an my family ... make us proud !!!!!! :-)
im getting hd dvd for 2 bucks and under ! HAVE FUN with your 25 dollar blu rays you sony cock suckers , btw hd dvd is still huge in china and in case your dont know china has alot of people so you do the math sony fanboys
@andrewtheone7 sure but playstation 3 will lose when people find out that there is not enugh space on it!! and the idiots didt made a memroy card to the bule shit. at all is a okey machine but i am really disapointed that there ist enugh space to all you game on it, but they could at lest have made a store where you can get the brian made bigger, (the gb drive to a bigger hard drive with more gbs on..... :( think i am going to sell my ps3
most hd dvds and blu ray are mostly going to be use for gaming or storage data cause now and days it takes alot of investments and time to create a great looking game or for storage useage on the other hand movies can only go as far as extra features i mean nobody is going to watch extras features that much anyways just the main movie so mostly for storage and gaming
I won BC I waited for both of them to drop in price and got both and got all the cheap exclusive HD DVD titles! They slugged it out and I Grabbed the loser then waited for the champ to drop his guard and price and got it also. LOL! I just like both of them.
Blu-Ray doesn't even support 1/5 of a terabyte. It only supports 25GB single layer & 50GB dual layer. 1 terabyte = 1024GB or 20 dual layer high capacity Blu-Ray movies. I dont think 1 terabyte would be possible even if they increased the size of the compact disc by 1 inch, rendering it no longer a "COMPAC DISC" and still not acomplishing a 1 terabyte Blu-Ray disc. At the same time, what is the point of such a large disc? The disc would hold an enormous amout of HD content. HOURS & HOURS worth.
There's a prototype disc currently in development called the HVD (Holographic Versatile Disc) that uses holographic technology to hold approximately 1 terabyte. It's still a compact disc because it retains the standard size.
I don't have a HDDVDABCDEFG Player, and i'm not going to buy one for transformers and miami vice (and I've just found out that transformers is coming to bluray! yay)
SO I SAID I BOUGHT THEM ON STANDARD DVD, AS IN NOT HDDVDABCDEFG.
Youve just made a cunt of yourself there mate.
NEXT TIME PUT YOUR READING GLASSES ON.. YA SHOULD HAVE WENT TO SPECSAVERS!
Someone said on here that HD DVD's where STANDARD! it was not ME! that said thay where standard i was telling the person: HOW DARE YOU call HD DVD's standard when there still very good! So you read the fucking comment PROPERLY!!!
PS: and you not funny at ALL! saying you should of gone to Specsavers.
thus is pointless when 1080p passes and 2160p ultra definition TV's come out. (2009) bluray player will be useless. bluray can't go better than 1080p. they will bring out a new version of bluray (bluray 2 or sumthing_and charge us for that
FUCK BLU RAY!! i bought 2 blu ray movies yesterday, reservoir dogs & Predator.
And i must say, i really don't see difference between normal dvd and blu ray!! so what im trying to say is, that the blu ray movies that i bought was poor quality!!!shame on you Sony! by the way.. When i press the info button on my ps3 when i play these movies both are compressed with the mpeg-2 codec!! Shame on you Sony! they know Mpeg-4 Avc is the best codec you can get!,and still they use
You on crack kid? If you dont see a difference u must be blind.Blu ray dosent look HD on standard TV. YOU NEED AN HDTV (LCD)(PLASMA) AND AN [HDMI CABLE]. Get a life!
You dum shit!!! i watch my Blu Ray movies on a Lcd tv Philips from 109cm. Go buy the Blu Ray version of Predator and reservoir dogs! and you will see that poor fucking quality!!
You dum shit! i watch my Blu Ray movies on a Philips lcd tv from 109cm, go buy the bly ray version of reservoir dogs and Predator, you fucking shit! and you will see that poor fucking quality! I also have Casino Royale on Blu Ray and OH MY GOD!! that really looks PERFECT!! VERYY SHARP SMOOTH! but the blu ray version of Predator and Reservoir Dogs SUCKS!! BAD!!!!!! go buy and watch it you will believe me my friend..
You do know the movies have to be FILMED in HD. Predator was filmed in 1987, and Reservoir Dogs was filmed in 1992. They're not going to look any better than they already are, maybe a bit clearer than their previous formats but that's it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
u stupid dumb piece of shit u havent got a clue have u. sell everything u got drive to the woods dig ur own grave and jump in then we wont have to rerply to dumb shits like u
well this just shows how much people are blind, still no matter now since Blu-Ray has won, and at least there is now onw format, buts its just funny how something like Blu-Ray which is not even sony's technology (infact is pioneer's) was made a success and yet hinders on the consumer, since HD-DVD had no region coding, and don't say this is for security because you can get copy protection without the need of region coding. Still as i say my words are useless now.
As for you, subtalvik, you overlooked the point. Before the victor, Sony had what was seemingly an overpriced system with no games, and maybe even an out of date player in a few years. That seriously hurt them. We have yet to see if it will pay off.
You wouldn't believe how many friends I have who said, "Wow, I loved the ps2, but the ps3? Man, too expensive for that sort of a risk!" and most proceded to buy a 360.
We all proceded to have fun on the 360's live, ignoring the format war.
Congratulations Toshbia and Microsoft - for missing the fact that the thing that trumps availability and price is INSTALLED BASE.
All people care about is how many movies they can sell on a format. Toshiba and MS failed to notice that (Number-of-people-buying-a-PS3) > (Number-of-people-buying-upgrade-for-XBOX360).
As of the time that Toshiba threw in the towel there were 10,500,000 Bluray equipped PS3's in peoples homes and 100,000 HDDVD players.
Um... check the fact on 10.5 million ps3's, there is a lot less than that, although still considerably more than Hd dvd players.
You are definately right about the installed base, though you forgot one thing.
Including a bluray player in the ps3 seriously drove up its price, and with a lack of good games, Sony was seriously hurting last year. The PS3 was a big part of its profits. But by doing so, they ensured a win in the "format war."
yeah i wasn't looking for an argument or anything, but that would make it right where the 360 and wii is for sales, and we all know that there are far less sold then that. (though this year they may make a killing, we'll see.)
A question: How many of the movies which these players have are actually shot in a high enough resolution to take advantage of Bluray? This is a genuine question as I have no idea.
Blu-Ray has won HD-DVD major news check reuters Toshiba has walked out! and PS3 outsold 360 in USA during January!!! all this information is based on FACT!
Well to me it doesn't make sense, everything about Blu-Ray is wrong, for example, its more difficult to programme, more expensive to produce, needs a hard coating so it doesn't get scratched, and apparently the picture cropping is out of place, compared to HD-DVD. And for what all so sony can yet again monopolise, and steal what is essentially toshiba's technology in the first place, but with a bit of sly modifications! Oh well people really are suckers to sony.
Theres alot more to it than that. You already know that Blu-ray overall is the more superior technology. All the problems you've mentioned are solvable. Once those problems have been eliminated what argument would you have?
Blu-ray has already won.... Warner bros. holds 20% of the movie market and has switched totally to Blu-ray. Sony Kills MS yet again... Bye-Bye MS with your BS HD-DVD add on for the 360
hd is no longer a format or sumfin. but who cares sony are wearing out there money. they havnt sold enuf ps3s n they all hav blu ray to there money is wastin
Sony already won.... everyone that had exclusives to HD DVD dropped their exclusives and makes the big movies to bluray too BUT Warner brothers said FUCK YOU HDDVD and only make movies for Bluray now... HD DVD only got about 10-20% of the market now. In Europe and Asia there NEVER was a format war cos Bluray kicked HDDVD way out of the picture
Besides the fact that they basically shit on the entire point of Playstation? Last gen, the PS2 did so well because it was cheap and had tons of good games. Nobody cares about graphics if there aren't any good games. The best PS3 game has an 89 on Metacritic, Halo 3 has a 94, Mass Effect has a 92...
And God forbid I go a few weeks without a 360. How the hell does that matter?
Well after warner bros went blue ray last week its not looking good for hd dvd. blu ray has 5 studios hd dvd only 2. Plus blockbuster said it will rent blu ray only. Still im not gonna count my chickens before they hatch. well have to wait and see what happens.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you know everybody said betamax is gonna win and guess what betamax got owned, hd is gonna own blu-ray just like its grandpa the VHS owned betamax so eat my ass chumps
They run on the same technology the only difference is the DISC CAPACITY SIZE. HD DVD BLU RAY BOTH USE BLU-RAY DIODES. TOSHIBA CALLS IT HD DVD CAUSE THATS WHAT ALL THE TECHNOLOGIES IN TVS ARE HDTV. SONY CALLS IT BLU-RAY CAUSE OF THE DISC FORMAT PS3 AND THE BLU-RAY DIODES.
600$ blue-ray player > 299$ Ps3

I have em both on standard dvd because of this.
I prefer to invest in the winner, which this time is Blu-ray.
Sony lost last time because the nation were cheap arses.. The VHS was cheaper, so It won.
This time, the QUALITY MATTERS, so obviously your gonna have to pay more, if you cant afford it, just buy DVD's and SHUT THE HELL UP!!

(Looks like there was no format war in Japan)

Agreed, I picked up a PS3 after the announcement that Warner is now going to be exclusively Blue Ray. As far as I'm concerned the coffin is buried.

Stores in my area (Australia) only sell Blue Ray discs and normal DVD, I had'nt even heard of "HD-DVD" till today.

Well to me it doesn't make sense, everything about Blu-Ray is wrong, for example, its more difficult to programme, more expensive to produce, needs a hard coating so it doesn't get scratched, and apparently the picture cropping is out of place, compared to HD-DVD. And for what all so sony can yet again monopolise, and steal what is essentially toshiba's technology in the first place, but with a bit of sly modifications! Oh well people really are suckers to sony.

Theres alot more to it than that. You already know that Blu-ray overall is the more superior technology. All the problems you've mentioned are solvable. Once those problems have been eliminated what argument would you have?

Blu-ray has already won.... Warner bros. holds 20% of the movie market and has switched totally to Blu-ray. Sony Kills MS yet again... Bye-Bye MS with your BS HD-DVD add on for the 360

Sony already won.... everyone that had exclusives to HD DVD dropped their exclusives and makes the big movies to bluray too BUT Warner brothers said FUCK YOU HDDVD and only make movies for Bluray now... HD DVD only got about 10-20% of the market now. In Europe and Asia there NEVER was a format war cos Bluray kicked HDDVD way out of the picture

Besides the fact that they basically shit on the entire point of Playstation? Last gen, the PS2 did so well because it was cheap and had tons of good games. Nobody cares about graphics if there aren't any good games. The best PS3 game has an 89 on Metacritic, Halo 3 has a 94, Mass Effect has a 92...
And God forbid I go a few weeks without a 360. How the hell does that matter?

I want HD-DVD to win. But in the end, I think Blu-Ray will win cause its got more major studios supporting it :(

Are you sure about that because this isn't the 80s. This format war may be simular but it is a hole another war in a different situation.

They run on the same technology the only difference is the DISC CAPACITY SIZE. HD DVD BLU RAY BOTH USE BLU-RAY DIODES. TOSHIBA CALLS IT HD DVD CAUSE THATS WHAT ALL THE TECHNOLOGIES IN TVS ARE HDTV. SONY CALLS IT BLU-RAY CAUSE OF THE DISC FORMAT PS3 AND THE BLU-RAY DIODES.
