Well, we'll have to agree to disagree. I work with multimedia as a small, hobby/job, and my experience is that people will go for a cheaper technology, because they will not notice the difference.

I'm not saying Blu-Ray is bad. What I AM saying is...

1) Sony has yet to show any real, consumer-friendly advantage over HD-DVD that makes it worth the extra cost.

2) Just because something has great technology does not mean people will go for it. History has shown that, repeatedly.

Plus, the numbers you listed are the 'maximums'. Blu-Ray IS capable of doing those numbers, but as of right now, they are not utilizing the technology available as well as the HD-DVD set. No one cares about the 'Maximum' . What people care about is what they can get right now.

Whatever the case, we'll have to wait and see. Too many variables exist today to see who will 'win' .

Even one of Sony's heads believes the format war is a stalemate; and has even gone so far as to saying there should only be one, agreed-upon standard, which implies to me that Sony is getting worried. http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-sta lemate/

PS3=$300+

HD-DVD Players=$1000+

Yep.

I'll turn your attention to this. Not everyone needs/wants a video game system. Plus, Wal-Mart had a massive fire-sale on HD-DVD players, at $99, so Toshiba, and its supporters are more than happy enough to flexibly price the unit.

I'm done for this one. We'll see how it plays out. Smile

The only game where everyone competes to be an e-janitor.
