Well... most people don't own HDTVs, so don't expect them to catch on too quickly.

I'll be buying a PS3 so I guess I hope Blu Ray wins (and I hope the internal BR player in the PS3 is of a nice quality). Doesn't really matter to me though, either sounds swell. Good riddance to DVDs.

Clearly the inferior of the two will win out. BETAMAX!

The PS3 is going to be a big weapon for Sony in the Blu Ray/HD-DVD ''war'', so it'll play Blu Ray thingers, is what I mean. I dunno how expensive a stand-alone player will be so I might have to stick with the PS3 for Blu Ray viewing. Or not.

BR = BluRay.. DUH!, sorry LOL
Yeah, that will be a big factor, I heard it will also play SACDs.

well, the ps2 is good enough dvd player (for me anyway). so youd presume the ps3 will be good for bluray ey.
looking forward to some fat ps3 games with that fat amount of space on those fat discs : )

blu-ray will probably have harsher copy protection.
i'm not sure yet, blu-ray will theoretically be able to take like 800gb of data or something eventually, but the prices will be pretty insane.
i think hd-dvds will be more reasonably priced, even though they don't take as much shit. like 35 gb or something?

Microsoft prefers HD-DVD
and I would guess that BluRay will have a tougher copy protection, that damn Sony...
Isn't it funny how they make DVD burners and DVD-R media? Yet they are the ones who are on top of the copy protection?

800gb ? LOL I don't think so, its more like 50-100 gb.
While HD-DVDs are around 15gb from what I've heard.
Say goodbye "2 DISC SPECIAL EDITION"
They will have to come up with a new way of attractings sheep's attention.

at this point its leaning toward blue-ray. PS3 has it so Paramount went with it to. the other major studios are split on it. i have no idea if either is better but Blue Ray is cheaper to make.

They claim that it holds 25 per layer, and they can have 4 layers. I guess the HD-DVDs hold 15 per layer, and go up to 3 layers.

i don't give a fuck about what you've "heard", they've had 200gb prototypes going for a good fucking while and they're already expanding the sizes.

some advice: both these formats will not be around for long, one will die out after about a year. so wait a year before investing or you're making a big gamble. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

blue ray cos i'm getting a PS3 to hook up with my HD tv, i'm thinking the PS3 will make a massive difference with people buying it to use as a media center.
I've got loads of DVD's though, luckily they won't be obsolete as both formats will be able to play them.

I couldn't give a shite.
Not interested in blu-ray hd-dvd hdtv or and of that crap.
Certainly not interested in a PS3 either. I don't want nor need a "media centre." Bollocks to all that.
Of course if I could afford any of it, that would be a different matter. I'd NEED them then!

you'd need an awful lot of xvid movies to fill a spindle of 100 of those :)
HD is nice too but I think not really crucial for people using the PAL system, it's already quite a high resolution(720x576).
