Which Next-gen Disc Will Win?

QUOTE

Why wouldn't the movie, music, and software companies back a disc that won't have a consumer recordable version?  That would really make it harder to pirate if you couldn't buy a Blue-ray or hd-dvd recorder.   I also think that creating a disc that can't work in a PC would help fight piracy.  That could be as simple as making disc a few inches bigger.

i think that making a disk that wouldn't work in a computer is one of the dumbest things a company could do. lot's of people watch movies on their computer, especially with laptops.
I think that with the ps3 coming with bluray drive it will be more popular, like someone has already said people will buy a ps3 as a bluray player just like people bought the ps2 for a dvd player. I also think that the xbox will end up going with the bluray drive add on.

Speaking purely from anti-Sony bias and considering no actual logic in my vote, I am 100% positive that HD-DVD will be the better format.

I believe that due to the fact the porno industry has already been burning HD-DVD that it will be the winner!

surprisingly that may be true last, year the adult film industry marked over 12 billion sales, compared to 8 billion box office take for mainstream hollywood movies

Average people and people who aren't familiar with everything regarding computers will look at it and say "Hey, its a new kind of DVD." as opposed to the "Blu-Ray? What's that?"


thats the point that needs to be made. its the dumb people of this earth that will make the decision.

The difference this time for HD-DVD/Blu-ray that was not there in Beta/VHS is video games consoles: customers will already have their video players in them, instead of just choosing one type or another based on marketing!

MS will only release a HD-DVD add-on, while Sony will have Blu-ray bundled in their PS3. Also the PS3 will obviously sell better than MS. On top of that, Sony now holds many awesome exclusive hits, like the upcoming Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (if you haven't imported it). Finally, the image quality will be better and the movies will have more extras because of the bigger storage. 'Nuff said.

I think the people who voted HD-DVD are MS fan boys. If you look at the specs, Blu-Ray is the superior Disc and had the potential to "upgrade"(if you will) to go up 200GB a disc. Because of this, it will eventually win out over HD-DVD. Although, I am very excited over both formats.

They will both fail... in time. We can expect holografic media in 2006, 100 GB storage at 100 MB/sec rewritible. And the price well below the curent dvd-r. They will rapidly be upscaled to 1 TB and up. So they are far superior to hd-dvd and blue-ray, both in storage volume and speed.

i'm voting blu-ray

it's backed by apple, and they are slowly taking the media scene away from M$ (especially when it comes to providing content)

I vote that they will both die.  Why because enthusiasts are sick of the endless vhs/beta battles and joe six pack doesn't know any better and is happy with SD DVD.  J6P doens't really understand that that High Def monitor needs a high def signal....

Witness the SACD/DVD-A battle...who's winning? Who cares? 5 guys in New Jersey sitting in thier basements posting on Audiophilia about the Sony SCD-1 being just as good as vinyl.  if the maufacturers can't stop bickering like little assholes the same thing will happen to HD DVD.

HD-DVD: Cheap, easier to produce, the dvd name is now in peoples minds and MS are backing it.
C`mon its MS, they have enough money to make the blu-ray format fail and most computers in the world have the MS os on.

BLU-RAY: In the ps3, more storage. Who cares about storage? Sony have always had the "better" technology but always fail. The protection on the disks is just going to be a huge pain and thats all sony care about.
Weve all seen what theyve done with there music cds with there virus like software installing on your pc.

The thing is the consumer is the one whos going to pick the format. I think there going to pick the hd-dvd. Its much cheaper and the name dvd.
Plus you have porn companies using hd-dvd which won the war for vhs.

i think blue ray wil stand a chance, look at umd movies sony got lucky there and they may again w the ps3 playing blueray.  but hd dvd will probably win its still a dvd , sony has been cloning features from it , and its only a 10% increase in price due to the fact that i can still use most of the current dvd making machines , blue ray needs all new manufacture process

This thread reeks of fanboys.  Blueray has already won.  Mosre studios are supporting blueray and several are refusing to support hd-dvd.  More hardware manufacturers are supporting Blureray as well.  Asside from the greater storage space in Blueray, they also allow HD and SD content to be on one side of the disk where as you will have to get up and flip your HD-DVD disk.

Both will fail, DVDs have not been around for all that long and so many old timers are still using VHS.. People are getting raped up the ass with prices and new technology and I think they won't buy into either. Besides do we relaly need them? you can rip most DVDs onto Cds (excluding menus, extra) and let's face it most of us never use the extras.. Also in regards to games, most PC games are on CD format still, using 3 or more discs but they are not even using DVDs...
also, with compress technology as it is, there is no need for 47Gig
