Blu-ray is going to win, because HD-DVD can't win without support from Sony/Columbia/Tri-Star, Disney, and Fox.:D

Yea, thats pretty much my thoughts as well.

Of course there is the possibility of the two formats co-existing, like the x-box and PS2, even though the PS2 absolutely smashed the x-box in terms of sales figures.
But of course I want Blu-ray to anihalate HD-DVD out of existence.

I don't care who wins. As long as they make some faster-boot/disc read units then we're in business. Ever tried to start up any unit and put a cd in one? There are some faster than others but damn... that's still too long for me! These things are computers now. They need to boot and everything! :(

You're all wrong.

First you must understand that there really isn't a huge difference between the 2 formats, they're just STORAGE MEDIA... There is nothing magical going on... ooh The Blu Leprechaun is making my BluRay movies so much better than HD-DVD. But yes, it is the only place to get a true 1080p FEED directly to your TV. (read that last sentence and don't come back at me with 'well when I hit the INFO button on my remote that displays the resolution... it says 1080p'...' -- Remember, I said FEED. The junk you get off of cable is 720 and pumped up to look better if you have the right components but not TRUE 1080p. That is the future, especially when we can get Fiber Internet like some markets do in the country... Then they'll release 1080p downloads... that's the money. Better start planning a massive hard drive array. I've already got 2 external 2TB drives, but it's not going to be enough....haha.

Second, by the time this 'so called war' is over with there is going to be one winner. But it's not HD-DVD and it's not BLU-RAY. It's going to be something called a hard drive... DIGITAL DOWNLOADS my friends. It's coming...

Third, Microsoft isn't going to put an internal drive either Bluray or HD-DVD because they don't want to sign their name to anything... But in true MS fashion, they'll make an external player (which is really no big deal for them and they could release that at any time) that has BluRay.

Don't care. Just want one format!
Ditto that..........

I refuse to buy either!!

I hope both BR and HD formats die a miserable death for doing this to the consumer.

LOL... It wont be up to be because I refuse to buy either format. The day a single universal format or player becomes available, I'll jump on board at that time.

What about all the analysts who claim both formats will coexist?

I just want one format as well but I despise Sony and their terrible track record with media formats. I would prefer HD-DVD but I want just one either way.

Haven't the universal players been released? Or did you just want an affordable media player?

Yeah LG released one a couple of months ago. It doesn't fully support HD DVD though. You can play the hd dvds you just don't get the fancy interactive menus. Other than that it is a pretty nice machine.

You have to take out a second mortgage at the ~$1200 price tags I've seen to-date for the Universal players...

Heh, for that price you might as well get to stand alone players and have more kick *** gear on your rack. :D OoO Shiney

I just don't get it! Getting a second mortgage to pay for a $1,200 piece of electronics...? Ah, of course that LG universal player goes with the $75,000 system that Audioholics "recommended"? In that case yeah you need a second mortgage but that player has such bad reviews though.
