Blu-Ray won when the PS3 was launced, placing millions of players into the public

microsoft dont rule out blueray for the 360

Microsoft alreasy stated they have no plans to bring blu0ray over to their side and they still have faith in HD-DVD (was said at CES)

but now daily variety has confirmed that universal will no longer be exclusively supporting HD DVD which almost cetainly is the penultimate nail in the format war coffin

The only difference between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD is the physical disc, the actual cost of the players and the players themselves. they both have the same data (in some cases the Blu-Ray had better sound due to the extra space) therefore they look exactly the same. They even use the same diodes to read the discs

I do, I own about 10 blu-rays and in fact I am watching Troy on Blu-Ray right now...

How are they gonna expand it's support to the 360?Cancel making the 360 games as they are and make consoles with blue ray drives instead?BULL

they would have to trade EVERYONE in the worlds 360s in for the newer version and scrap all the old ones.Micro$oft won't do it.

robin1989 · « **Reply #9 on:** January 11, 2008, 07:03:05 PM »

no becuase the 360's games are currently on dvd format disks so they would instead of selling the 360 hd dvd addon sell a 360 blueray addon

yay 100000th post

4dP · « **Reply #10 on:** January 11, 2008, 08:03:36 PM »

or could you just take the drive from the external and put it into the xbox 360 or even that $200 drive once microsoft does some changes

pinoyballa · « **Reply #11 on:** January 11, 2008, 08:12:05 PM »

Hmmm.. Don't think Microsoft would sell an add on, the PS3 would be a better deal for perspective customers. The only advantage i see that the 360 has over the PS3 is the Xbox Live service.

And even now with dedicated servers for all games and in game XMB and Home on the way, along with XBL servers going down because of too many users, the PSN keeps getting better and better, especially for a free service...

Blu-Ray is much better than HD-DVD, it holds much more data, and why do microsoft praise HD-DVD, because microsoft always go wrong, eg, vista, , etc

TheG4mer · « **Reply #17 on:** January 12, 2008, 06:20:49 AM »

All you have done is going off topic and building you post count, so a HDMI posrt is not HD And Wiki is also saying its HD but there wronge

1080i is not HD???

ProperBritish · « **Reply #23 on:** January 12, 2008, 03:44:51 PM »

as a PS3 owner, i have blu-rays. HD ftw. I heard that HD-DVD is trying one last push by rebranding it as HarD-DVD for pr0n studios to use as a HD disc media.

phenomenal · « **Reply #24 on:** January 12, 2008, 03:51:06 PM »

1080i is hd, just not as good as 1080p

Canadajames · « **Reply #25 on:** January 12, 2008, 06:50:30 PM »

its the just the difference between and interlaced signal and progressive scan signal.

HD-DVD is the best hands down hold and has more potential then blue ray but blue ray seams to be the king right now oh well. its not over yet

LOL it is definitely not the best, the only thing it has on blu-ray is the price, and thats not even that much of a difference anymore. Blu-Ray has millions of players out there, is being supported by 80 percent of the manufacturing companies, is outselling HD-DVD 3-1 and looks like it going to be the winner due to lackluster support of HD-DVD.

budgray19 · « **Reply #28 on:** January 12, 2008, 11:10:58 PM »

u get a good post on that there reaper...
lol

hes right too..

hd-dvd is fadin and fadin fast

Well blu-ray has got another company, HBO has now gone exclusively blu-ray. I can now start buying next gen movie discs without fear lol.
