http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/dc409a…"In addition to Apple, Warner Brothers is now going to throw its weight behind the Blu-ray format for high-definition disks."
"Paramount is poised to drop its support of HD DVD after Warner Brothers’ recent backing of Sony’s Blu-ray technology, in a move that will sound the death knell of HD DVD and bring the home entertainment format war to a definitive end."

It might be different with the interweb as the main delivery vehicle for porn now. they might not have the same effect on the hard format war.
oo-er: "hard format"

doesnt blu ray have like 3 times the capacity than HD DVD? Really, what is the point of having less space on a next gen technology?
- anzelina0
What even is blu-ray? All I know is that the box is smaller.
- pr20
iy doesn't have 3x capacity. problem with blue-ray is that it's made by sony. and if you ever delat with anything made by sony u know it's all ablout how to make the most $$ giving people as lottle as we can get away with.

I guess I have to cover my "HD-DVD Rocks" tattoo now.

The main difference is that Blu-ray is a little more secure from fraudulent decoding.

23.3 / 25GB single layer blu-ray
15GB single layer hd-dvdyou can't re-write hd-dvd's yet either, but you can with BR. Blu-ray just seems like a better product.
- It is, it's more effecient technology - blue laser = smaller 'dots' on the disc surface = more spaceMojo

I dont care wich one wins, honestly its about content, right now you go to the store and there is like 40 movies on each format, and most of them are crap. So the win-loose situation right now means zero to me. Put some of the good movies out in HD (or blu ray) and then will see who wins.
- sofakingzero0
Not to mention that the movies look better in blu-ray.
I was comparing them and blu-ray looked like a step up from dvd, hd-dvd did not.so I just took the plunge and went with blu-ray, movies look great.
Load up time is a little slow.- also I noticed Blockbuster only carries blu-raysofakingzero

I couldnt care less about movies, I want to be able to burn 40 gigs on a dual layer blu ray disc.
