Touting the shift in support from Warner Brothers as well as talks of Paramount jumping ship, Blu-ray camp believes this will be the tipping point at which HD-DVD ... [ read the full article ]

Well, i still see how can hd-dvd hold up, for instance, there is no way they´re selling blu-ray burners and media since the media MAFIA is holding it, so i bet that if HD-DVD know thwy´re game theyre flodding the pc market with burners and media, that would be hilarious and the best payback to get Warner and the others for theyr betrayal, just imagine this, john doe buying the next great blu-ray movie, ripping it (because seriously anyone thinking theyre not gonna be able to crack this one, is a joke, theres no such thing as uncrackable) and then uploading to the internet and floding china market in HD-DVD format hahahahaha, it would be like format war forever you would get HD-DVD players from korea, and in the end HD-DVD will become also the number 1 choice for file backup since is going to dominate this market

I for one am gladd that regular dvd will still be around for awhile longer, Have you taken a look at a Hi Def movie ,the upclose look is a little scary I much rather remember the actress's without the bigger than real upclose look.

The power has always been with the movie studios and yes blu-ray is going to win this due to the movie studios and where they choose to invest their funds. I was wrong i thought that Microsoft would have the last laugh but it seems i was wrong well all in all a good result :)

It would seem Blu ray and it's backers can smell blood in the water and they are pushing their advantage. All the PS3 commercials lately have been pushing the blu ray part of the PS3 after months of it pushing games and there have been numerous commercials saying stuff like "You the consumer have spoken and you chose blu ray." I know there are a lot of Sony haters here on Afterdawn, but one thing you can say about Sony is they know how to finish, and that is what they are out to do right now.

The people that will choose the winner of the "war" is not the studios, its the consumers and the recent survey conducted by the NPD suggests that ppl are happy with DVD's for a number of reasons are do not care about Hi-Def.
NPD Group reports on HD disc format adoption
Originally posted by hyperlink above:
The NPD Group released results from a HDTV owner survey that showed even though 52% of respondents were aware that HD disc players were available, only 11% planned on buying one in the next six months. It turns out that most people are happy with their standard DVD players and unhappy with the price of the HD units (62% waiting for prices to fall). Even though respondents were more aware of HD DVD than Blu-ray (29% vs. 20%), it's not a glowing outcome for fewer than 1-in-3 owners of HDTV's to not know about these formats by name.
Remember the last Hi-Def War sony stated they won! Toshiba?s "DVD-Audio" vs Sony?s "Super Audio CD" but ppl thought cd's were good enough!
