Blu-ray step ahead of HD-DVD

Hey...this is really cool, it is going to open the market into a tug or war, cause even some movie companies are choosing sides. Does anyone have a particular favorite? Kinda sucks in a way, cause they won't be universal...or am I missing some information?

I don't no witch one to choose?

Neither do I...it is like weird. Because now, things are universal, but soon, the companies are going to take sides because of the benefits of the 2 new dvds.

I think the new xbox is going to use the HD-DVD and the new ps3 is going to use the Blu-ray discs.

Yeah...all that means for users is spending more money in order to have the best of both worlds. Damn them I say! Damn them! LOL! Haven't really made up my mind about it, just know somethings briefly about it all, and will probably do alittle more detective work to see which is going to be better. BTW...you all see the new concept drawing for the Xbox and the new PS3 model. Pretty hot! I know that one of these threads had links to them. Hopefully I can find them again. ;)

When you find the link PM it to me :)

Hey all... Guess Santa is coming early today! Found the links: Xbox http://www.justplay.nl/media/58/20031118-Xbox%202.jpg PS http://www.playstation-3-forums.com/playstation_3/uploads/orig00000014.jpg ;)

You sure those arnt photoshopped? they look a bit like they are to me

And what about the Nintendo Revolution?!

@indienemo Eh...I guess, I just looked at them. I don't have much in the way of knowing one graphic from another ESPECIALLY in photoshop, so your guess is as good as mine.

Will they be coming out with burners for blu-ray and hd-dvd discs?

Supposedly...that is what I have been hearing. But I am not sure about that, cause if they were wouldn't they be pushing them out right about now or at least have something in the works. OR...are the new double layer and double sided ones are next gen. versions? Anybody have an answer?

Word is you can buy blu-ray burners now for $1500...

Thats a bit much but they will go down after a while.

Yeah...give it about 6 months.

like when dvd burners can out they were alot but now they are cheap.

Same goes for dvd players! Man, what a drop in price...can get them for like 20 bucks!

I give it like 2 1/2 years and blu-ray recorders will be like dvd recorders are now.

2 and a half, huh? Kinda of a long time. Do you think it will be that long?

maybee not that long but it will take at little while.

Yeah, I figured as much. As usual they are going to cost an arm and a leg...but probably within a good years time they will drop, at least I think they will. Also, let's take into account that probably wholesalers are going to get them and sell them at a really good discount. But who knows when that will happen?

I hope they will be cheaper because I don't like spending lots of $.

Got that right...but they will definately decrease in price since this will be the new standard a dvds, cause they won't be making any money if they aren't selling them for what customer can buy them at.

How would a movie take up 40gb that would have to be a very good picture.

It better be, for that damn price!

I wish I could remember where I saw it, but both those pictures are artists renderings of possible designs (although a lot of renderings I've seen are round for the ps3) And I also read somewhere (howstuffworks.com I think) that Xbox2 (or whatever it is) is NOT HD-DVD, it's just plain DVD, reason being it's cost prohibitive if they want to have it out before the PS3

Yup... That site is AWESOME! It breaks things down so easily. ;)

The xbox2 will be out around oct. hopefuly.

i dont think people give a toss about the release of the blu ray technology,recorders,players etc the first thing that comes into peoples minds when this sort of equipment is released is CAN I COPY IT???

I cant vouch for that X-Box Photo but the PS3 one is definetly a FAKE. Thats being around ages, ever since there was talk about a replacement for the PS2.

what about EVD: http://www.lsilogic.com/technologies/industry_standards/enhanced_versatile_disc_evd.html I dont think it comes down to which one is better, but rather what China will support. If china wants hd-dvd/evd they will make it happen. If they dont like sony/hp bluray lock-out, they will go with hd-dvd. Its not about whats better, but what is cheaper and most versatile. Considering Toshiba's hold on the PC market you can count on an HD-DVD drive in your laptop next year. Besides who wants to support hp/sony anyways.

I cant wait till they do come out its going to be like basically a console war but only in dvd style. Blue-Ray and HD-DVD are both freakin tight

everyone should wait about 2 or 3 years until all the bugs and the price goes down
