Why even bother with Blu Ray?

[Reckoner]

Especially when HD-DVD is offering better picture quality (as of now anyways) at a fraction of the cost? Not to mention, people already identify with the DVD name brand.

 

[Genx87]

Because it has "Blu" in its name, it has to be cool!

I want be bothering with either for awhile

The difference in quality is pretty stunning- it's night and day.

Blu Ray: because Betamax is older than most of you and you don't know any better anyway.

The difference in quality is like going from a 1000 watt light bulb to a 2000 watt light bulb. Sure, it's better, but very few people will ever know.

Really, I don't see any value is getting rid of DVDs right now. Unless they are going to give me more content, I really don't care. The quality of a DVD is already pretty nice.

Because Sony wants you to.

 

[mordantmonkey]

until i get an HD tv or a LCD big enough to notice the higher quality... i don't care.

blu ray is going to win out over HD simply because it has higher capacities. The deciding factor here will not be media/movies, it will be data storage.

They said the same thing about Betamax.

I'm with you on this one. HD-DVD is superior. Just because one may have more capacity than the other doesn't mean anything at all if the technology is bad.

 

[wicktron]

The deciding factor will be whatever format the Porn industry complies with.

I'll teach one lesson here and that's it:

It will come done to who has the better supply chain and support from media moguls. SUPERIOR does not win a slightly less superior product.

Go wiki VHS vs BETAMAX and come back here.

 

[DukeN]

Blu-gay = Sony product = automatic no-no.

 

[mooncancook]

We already have enough flash memory format

 

[secretanchitman]

ps3 and apple. 2 big things that probably will push blu-ray. so im for blu-ray as well.

but if hd-dvd wins, ill just switch over to that.

Well if you take into account that plus all the sony bashing going on... well I guess blu-ray has no chance? Too bad there isn't a single unbiased opinion on the subject.

You come across as one who thinks he/she is the only one who has heard of, or experienced, Betamax. I also remember how many format wars Sony has won.....

 

[0roo0roo]

cuz some people like bending over for sony. oh yea... put it in deeper they say.

 

[Rock Hydra]

To be honest, I want blu-ray to take hold. Its large capacities would be awesome for backup.

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Because some people have enough common sense to not judge a format based on the initial release? That and the superior capacity.
