Imagine if the war had gone the other way and thousands of PS3 buyers were stuck with paying for obsolete technology.

ON VHS and DVD now!....then....ON DVD and VHS now!....then.....On DVD now! and now.....On DVD and Blu Ray now! Film companies will not endorse downloadable content as much as they would physical media (discs),as the discs bring them more money in the sales.Disney want to try to put on Blu ray and DVD now, and then phase out DVD.One day you will all be madeto buy Blu ray,because consumers have fuckall to do with keeping previous formats alive,oh yeah sure you can argue as much asyou like and have a nig say in a format war,but not in this,the pahsing out of the previous format. Have fun future Blu ray owners lol Please piss me off at: www.MySpace.com/William_Thorn www.bebo.com/Sony-Elitist and my MSN Jedidiah-Sony-Rose@live.co.uk Have a great day^_^ Jedidiah Sony Rose So it seems that the general consensus of the argumanetafter my previous comment is that BD will never take over DVD.That was the same for DVD and VHS,but then it went to how filmswere advertised…

I think MS must put alot of $$$$$ to make sure hd-dvd win over blu-ray because blu-ray is MS free technologies. It's only used Java. I think if MS talk to Sony from the beginning of integrate some of MS technologies. I don't think Sony will reject them. One thing let to another, they become competitors. Oh well, we all know what is the outcome. MS went with hd-dvd is because of hd-dvd is using ms techologies, iHD and VC1.

Blu-ray and HD-DVD are not the same apart from capacity. HD-DVD uses lossy audio while Blu-ray uses lossless.

In the long run, Blu-ray is just as screwed as HD DVD, because we will all just stream media on our home media servers (lol). Blu-ray also had duel layer disks which hold 50gb, and will support multi layer disks in the future (100-200gb)...Blu-ray's name sucks, miserably. I don't own an Xbox360, or PS3. Nor do I own a HD DVD player or a Blu-ray player. Just to clear things up, whoever said Microsoft is screwed because of HD DVD’s failing is a total moron.

Let's thank them for it. Now it looks like history is repeating itself. Though, I almost never heard of HD-DVD in the media. Must have been REAL bad marketing on Toshiba's side. Microsoft will never let their 360 have Blu-Ray capabilities, because with the predecessor they are loosing way too much money on their console. So perhaps an XBox 3000 will have Blu-Ray. I am still waiting for Nintendo to release a Wii with DVD capabilities from a rumor I heard of. So Blu-Ray is still a step in the future it seems...

You should be annoyed at Toshiba for not siding with every other electronics manufacturer. Sony do not own Blu-ray. It was developed by Pioneer and Sony and then released by the BDA which was 9 electronics company's. Blu-Ray always had more manufacturer support and more studio support and since the launch of the PS3 it has sold far more disks. Sales of Blu-Ray standalone players worldwide were also greater than HD-DVD ones. Blu-Ray won because it is more popular, thats just plain simple fact. Its got nothing to do with 'Sony using politics'. Blu-Ray was always going to win for the simple reasons that one of its biggest backers owns major Hollywood studios and is giving away players in its video games consoles.
