so the future of movies it seems is in the hands of $ony, it makes my skin crawl...
bd may have more room but they have done nothing with it, reminds me of when dvd first hit the market saying it could do so much more (hence digital versatile disc), nothing was done to take advantage of that.
Its idiots like micheal bay making bogus claims of "bd has better pq" that has helped blur the real picture of whats going on between both formats, and the bda's deep pockets ala the warner betrayal, for more google the transfer details for blade runner on both formats.
the only thing that is very clear is that $ony were prepared to do anything to ensure that bd survived so as to justify the ps3's very existance, at the expense of their customers by issuing these profiles, not evey punter is tech savvy, and if were one and found i had a player that couldnt access parts of the discs features id be livid.
I cant help but wonder why most purple people say they prefer hd dvd out of the pair, thats kinda telling in its own right.
HD DVD gave us what we wanted right from the word go, no regon coding, no potentially confusing profiles and in overall view an outstanding picture at a wallet friendly price, this is something that bd still has yet to do.
Am i going to switch over?......i really dont want to reward $ony for being probably one of the worst companies ive ever had to deal with, nor for there shitty tactics so its safe to say i wont be buying anything from them........i wont be switching anytime soon as i have my doubts still about bd.
This format war wasnt won, it was bought
