The format wars - Page 3

There wont be a winner...

In a few years our PCs will play both, just like DVD+ and DVD-

The price of DVDs was very high when they came out too.

But I dont think these new DVD formats will last long. Maybe last long, but wont
be the main format. Harddrives are the future.

There is a massive uncertainty about the future because no one is leading it. I'd
like to be able to turn on my TV at 3am in the morning and watch every epesoide
of LOST that has ever been aired. I want to be able to go to my local DVD
store or go online and buy a DVD. Some sort of "DVD-Key". The DVD is
called "Atlas". Atlas is available on TV but you can only watch it once you have
bought the DVD. So I type in my CD key and this gives me access to its content.

Thats just one vision of many. But like the others it has massive restrictions
and reasons why its not being developed.

Well considering again..the blu-ray holds 23gigs where DUAL LAYER DVDs hold 8...regular dvds hold 4...

The porn industry I think is going with HD-DVD.

That could be a major factor so far in this little battle.

High defintion porn ha ha

yeah even though people get porn off there pc's, they get most of there cash from actually DVD's.

I hope that the Hd-DVD wins out, just to stick it to sony for the PS3, those bastards. I hate them, hate them, HATE THEM!!!

lol, the ps3 if ya ask me is crap, and i feel like watching the internet is for porn video.

Varas · 01-22-2007, 02:48 PM

I think HD-DVD will pip it - Blue-ray is probably the better format, but i get the feeling Sony aren't quite the power they were, and have messed up badly with the delay of ps3...

We'll probably be using holographic storage in a few years or so anyway

Blu Ray looks way better than DVD-HD.

Vivid, a big time porn company, stated they will be using porn on Blu Ray.
