Looks like HD-DVD is Done

[Zero_Vault]

Sorry for the bad news, folks.

Go Blue-Ray!

 

[Fran]

I know of Blu-Ray

But not Blue-Ray.

Interesting point

 

[Darthphere]

Who cares? Really? Who cares?

 

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Whatever...I still buy regular DVDs.

Cheers!

 

[Fran]

DVD > HD-DVD > Blu-Ray

 

[Zero_Vault]

No one is going to produce HD-DVD anymore.

Read the news.

 

[Fran]

No way.

NO ONE?

 

[chamber-music]

Its all just a rip off for the electronic and film companies to make us pay a load of money for something we don't really need or care about

 

[Darthphere]

That ultimate X-Box with built in HD-DVD is looking like a bad idea right about now.

I kinda agree, but I love watching Batman Begins and Transformers in HD.

Yeah. Looks like MS will eventually release a Blu-Ray add-on, since apparently NO ONE, according to Zero_Vault, is making them anymore.

WB is manufacturing HD-DVD until May, Zero.

 

[Zero_Vault]

What happens after May, Fran?

Take a guess.

 

[Fran]

I know what happens. Warner Bros. goes Blu-Ray. Duh.

I'm just making your statements false to some extent.

HD-DVDs are still being manufactured. It's not like Universal called and said to factory workers, "Shut 'er down, boys. It's over. "

 

[Drizzle]

I say **** it all. Regular DVD for the win.

 

[Darthphere]

I say **** it all. Regular DVD for the win.

I'm tired of seeing those Blu-Ray and HD-DVD demos where they compare it to DVD and are all like "Notice the difference!!!!"

I can't see **** yo!

 

[Fran]

Although I do agree that it IS over, I'm not just gonna sell all my HD-DVDs and my add-on player for 360.

I have a PS3 too, so it's no biggie.

TDK in Blu-Ray FTW

 

[Asteroid-Man]

Is there a link to HD-DVD sayin' "It's quittin time boys... for good."

No there is not.

And that's what Zero thinks is happening

really? I went to best buy and they did a split for pirates in DVD and Blu-Ray and DVD was sort of blurry, like there was a bit of fog over it and Blu-Ray looked like the TV was a window and the characters where right there.

 

[patrickbateman]

i love this story

No it didn't.

Darthphere is considered officially blind.

There is no fog on the DVD version, and the Blu-Ray does not make it look like a window where the characters are right there. The quality is better, yeah, but not that much so.

 

[Manic]

I've had customers come back to the store and try to return their blu-ray movies because the picture looks just like a DVD instead of significantly better. And... well, that says something.

 

[Zero_Vault]

No there is not.

And that's what Zero thinks is happening

Uhh, I read it in yesterday's LA Times.

In the business section.
