Re: blue ray sux,hd dvd rawks

VHS won because Betamax was overpriced and IMO overrated.
the picture quality was better on betamax but the whole thing was to expensive from making the cassettes to the machines them selves

Re: blue ray sux,hd dvd rawks

i think sony made the mistake of thinking the playstation brand was strong enough to support 'any' price point.
the sales have shown this is not the case and the model revamps and cutting of specs show them desperatly trying to be able to cut prices

Re: blue ray sux,hd dvd rawks

i dont think sony have the slightest chance of catching up with the xbox, simply by the advantage microsoft have in the amount of time it was on sale before the ps3 came out would mean that an awful lot of people that might have chosen a ps3 at the time now have 360s and most people are not likely to buy a new console that for the most part, will have the same games.,

Re: blue ray sux,hd dvd rawks

dropping BC goes towards that as well given many use the thought they already have loads of ps2 games they can use on the new ps3

Yes but the question is do you think sony will swap out the blu-ray player in the ps3 for a hd-player?
I can't see that they can do it, therefore your going to have many millions of households with ps3 blu-ray plays in that will want support and media for their blu-ray player.
It will be very hard now for sony to back track on blu-ray and very expensive, so i think blu-ray is here for a while anyway.

Re: blue ray sux,hd dvd rawks

The DVD Forum Steering Committee has finally approved amended specifications for the 51 GB three layer HD DVD disc, meaning the disc, dubbed Version 2.0, can possibly begin to move into production.

It is not completely clear whether the decision officially opens the door for production to begin but those details should be available soon. The new, larger capacity HD DVD should help the format gain even more ground in its war against Blu-ray as the Blu-ray camp has long advocated its superiority due to the ability to generate 50 GB titles.

Re: blue ray sux,hd dvd rawks

This is pretty irrelevant to someone like myself, I've bought a grand total of about 5 DVDs and not in a rush to buy the latest technology, call me old fashioned by I still refuse to buy low quality 128bit virtual music, I'd rather buy a CD which is infinately better quality and will last a lifetime not until my pc crashes or someone nicks an overpriced white box.

Ahhh but you see, you're supposed to find the high quality 243 kbs CD rips off torrents

Re: blue ray sux,hd dvd rawks

Torrent is for scroungers, I'm not wasting my time with that crap, anyway 243kbps MP3 is about as close to CD quality as a Fiat is to a Ferrari.

Re: blue ray sux,hd dvd rawks

anyone remember SACD??

another venture of Sony's to take over the market that failed miserably, they always try and come up with a branded version of technology and it hardly ever works for them. They must lose millions that way.

Like Sony cameras... they have to have a sony memory stick why cant they just be designed to use SD cards?

But i suppose alot of people call there flash drives memory sticks....
