It certainly is looking bad for hd-dvd the sooner the battle ends the better.
I dont see how the hd dvd camp are going to turn it around.
Its looking an ever more impossible task.
I must admit thought that althought i do want this stupid war over and done with ASAP and due to being a ps3 owner more pro blueray than anything else, A part of me would love to see the comedy of hddvd getting back on equal terms.

I think MS might give up on HD-DVD but at the same time.. normal DVD is good enough for me for now so I am not interested in either BR or HDDVD

» Warning, my figures are made up.
True, but when you get a TV thats 50 Inches you will want some high quality content for it. DVD can do it, but for real Hi Def you would only get 30 min or so.

Thats dumb. If you had any idea what HD content does for movies you wouldn't be saying that. Typical Xbot, eh? :P

HD DVD needs to either produce a fully backwards compatible (single sided) HD-DVD/DVD disc very soon, or give up and roll over and die.

» Why?
I never saw the backwards compat that important; most people just want their players to be able to play all their old DVDs. I don't run that many dvds around to other people's houses that often, and I don't see myself doing that in the future...

» Will HDdvd stop their war?
It's not like DHdvd could really win. And anyway, BDs are better (I'm a ps3 owner so I may be biased, lol), more space, etc.
Still, if they want us to buy BDs instead of dvds, they'll need to pop them at a lower price point. I mean, it's a better quality, but you can't bring'em at your friends house... (unless they have a ps3/player).

» size
Yeah yeah this is a great day whatever but please get the facts straight. Blueray does hold more size with the current build on the market but it is not better quality or anything of that sort. So please please quit saying it's better becasue of size, etc. What is the etc? Please someone tell me I would love to know.
Other than that i'm glad this stupid war is almost over and hopefully I can finally get a BD player when it's done.

» Okay, here's one
Sony demonstrated at CES the ability to transfer videos from BD to other devices. No titles have shipped yet that support it (it's a profile 2.0 thing), but it's coming. They used a PSP in their demo. HD-DVD can't do that. Or, well, it can actually, but even with their supposedly "finished" specs they still haven't bothered to do it on a single title. Why is that? Could it be because it may force them to either degrade video quality to fit the extra copy on the disc? Could it be because they might have to go to a more expensive triple-layered disc that is more sensitive to fingerprints, scratches or other disc defects? It's clearly and advantage they could be leveraging against BD right now, but they are aren't doing it? That's pure, unfiltered stupidity to not be leveraging every weapon in their arsenal right now if they want a hope of staying in this thing.

» is anyone really surprised anymore?
I don't see this changing until:
a) HD DVD players are like a nickel a pop,
or
b) they come with like 40 free HD DVDs

» 40 free HD DVDs

i remember reading up on this somewhere (soz cant recall or i would include link) but the main gist of the article was that hd-dvd was probably being killed by articles enetitled blu ray is dead which may have now come to fruition, but as some have already said dvds are still the most popular this logic is common throughout europe where the format war is yet to gain much momentum except from ps3 owners so whether this is sunk or not depends how far out of pocket hd dvd will go but im not going to predict anything as i thought when dreamworks etc went hd exclusive i thought the market would have swayed in the same direction, the same with warner bros but i dont know but if pressed i would say until dvd sales drop and the real war over format begins i wouldnt hench bets
peace out xxx

» oh yeah
