I think that consumers ARE going to be interested in this. I\'m months away from buying the HDTV I want (prolly 56" or 61")... and you KNOW I\'m going to want HDTV movies with that. A lot of people are looking into HDTV now, prices have dropped so much, if you go CRT you get a huge tv for a bit over a grand. With the cable companies here and in the US talking about going all digital within a couple of years, and all HDTV a couple years after that.... well, a format has got to step up to meet the requirement, and I for one am hoping that blue-ray just comes out, dominates, and precludes any serious attack by the HD-DVD posse.

Frankly, with the cost of movies
(two people, no food 20 bucks, with food 35-40) being what it is, more and more people are just making their home theatre a replacement for going out.

Yea the more you think about it\'s not that expensive to manufacture the product. Just newer specs/features based on age-old technology of making an aluminum wafer and slapping it on a 3.5" plastic disc.

As long as a good percentage of the 30 million+ HDTVs owners buy into the technology in 2006, it should hopefully pay for itself soon after. Then all the hillbillies can get in on the fun when prices drop.

This HDTV owner won\'t buy into Blu-Ray. I would maybe consider buying it, if the player is cheap enough (I do not want the PS3 player, Sony\'s PS2 DVD playback was shoddy at best). And there is no way I\'ll rebuy movie\'s I already own on DVD.

Heh, I give my brother some knowledge and I asked him which format would he prefer? Blu Ray or HD-DVD?

He said Blu Ray. had I not told how about the existance of blu ray, he probably would go HD-DVD. He never heard either of the two formats. But in the future, he might get HD-DVD because of the letter DVD which is a popular format and he own an HDTV monitor. So, he knew HD stands for high def, and he would assume HD-DVD as the next generation format because naming. and he would skimmed Blu Ray because of the unfamiliar naming.

But after I told him about the two formats and a bit about their spec, he said he\'s going to get Blu Ray then when I asked him which would he pick between the two.

I hate to say this again, but..

I have no clue what he just said.

I don\'t think my brother have heard of the upcoming video format: Blu Ray and HD-DVD.

I assumed he would pick HD-DVD in the future instead of Blu Ray because of the familiar name HD-DVD.

When I told him about the two formats and its spec, and I asked him which of the two format would he have pick. He said Blu Ray. So, had I not told him about the two formats and their spec. I think he might have pick HD-DVD in the future.

Uh, what\'s not to understand?

I don’t know where people get the idea they must re-buy their DVD collection? BluRay is backwards compatible, DVDs will still work

Just start buying BD versions of new movies coming out, and maybe re-buy some of your favourite movies if you wish.

Blu-ray rocks, more support, better format. HD-DVD sucks.

I don\'t see why you guys have trouble understanding what he said. Sure it wasn\'t 100% gramatically correct, but it wasn\'t exactly incomprehensible either.

videoholic · « **Reply #28 on:** October 17, 2005, 07:03:47 AM »

It wasn\'t even 2% grammatically correct. He\'s fucking Skim milk.

« **Reply #29 on:** October 17, 2005, 10:02:41 PM »

And you\'re only using 2% of your brain. There\'s nothing unclear about what he said. He even reiterated his post for you.
