[ajax the warrior]

I've just got a PS3 but unfortunately you can't get The Warriors as region 2 bluray! Grrrr.

I bought a HD DVD player a week or so ago, but took it back since HD DVD has pretty much now been dropped by everyone except Paramount and Universal. I believe Paramount are switching to Blu in the near future.

Are you serious Gareth?

Oh Wow! I'll deff be putting the HD-DVD on my list. I'm really hoping that wins the format war thats starting to rage between the two different players especially since it has an effect on my chosen career (I.e sound engineering and video/audio production)

Personally I'm banking on HD-DVD since it's actually better value than the Blu-ray and more stable. I mean a triple layer DVD can store 51Gb as opposed to only 17 on a normal DVD and 45Gb on a Blu-Ray.

Basically these disks use shorter lazer wavelengths so they can run faster and store more information. To me the Blu-ray players are far too over priced, they cost about 20% more than HD-DVD and don't work as well
(but thats me speaking from a professional stand point. Rockstar only use HD)

Well, normally you can change the "region" options (both HD-DVD and DVD), but I think you guys just know it!!!
But yeah, Bluray is another story... and they're now exaggerating, I think!!! No, I'm sure!!!
It's always the same problem, I mean they want we to buy a new DVD or HD or Bluray or etc... reader, a new game station, a new "everything"... every time they make something more developed!!!
Plus, Paramount, Universal and so on... do have (almost sure!!!) a deal with the "all kind of readers" brands. I know it's a business, yeah, but it's just a shame!!! 8)

Warner Brothers Just announced that it will be Switching to The Blu-Ray Format for Their Films
So now it sucks even more,That you would have to get Both Players,because
Warner Brothers,is only sticking to this format.. Below is The Press Release from Warner Brothers..



Press Release from Warner Home Video:

Entertainment will release its high-definition DVD titles exclusively in the Blu-ray disc format beginning later this year, it was announced today by Barry Meyer, Chairman & CEO, Warner Bros. and Kevin Tsujihara, President, Warner Bros.

Either way I don't get this hd stuff, I don't think it looks much better than just a normal dvd.

Yeah, I've got no games at the moment as I am happy playing on the 360. Feel free to add me if you have a 360 (gamertag = Gareth P Jones) yeah imaginative I know!

I am sure we'll get it over here eventually. To be honest, I am not at all impressed with the amount of films on blu-ray that are worth buying. I have SuperBad and that's about it! Still the PS3 upscales DVD's superbly.

[Frank_Castle]

I still prefer normal dvd to be honest, i mean £30 for something that has slightly better quality over something for £5 with slightly less quality and many other features, i know which one i prefer.

HD-DVD over here has the exact same ammount of features as a normal DVD and doesn't cost that much extra. A normal DVD is about £10 while an HD-DVD is sitting about £18 at the moment. If its a film I really really love, I reckon its worth it!

[Frank_Castle]

If i really want to watch a good movie in HD i would be willing to pay the money but otherwise i stick with regular dvd.

[KissTheRain]

Problem is at the moment both kinds of players (Unless you get a PS3 or Xbox 360) are way too expensive but hey, DVD players fell in price quickly so heres hoping one of the formats do so the country can make a choice!

[glow=red,2,300]WELL IT'S OFFICIAL[/glow]
[glow=blue,2,300]BLU-RAY HAS BEATEN HD-DVD[/glow]

Blu-ray scored a big win in the DVD format battle with Wal-Mart's
decision to phase out high-definition DVDs.
The news came after Best Buy and the online DVD rental service Netflix
also decided to carry Blu-ray over rival HD.



[glow=red,2,300]R.I.P.[/glow]

NOW THAT THIS WILL BE THE OFFICIAL DVD FORMAT..
It makes you wonder what will happen to all of the people who brought HD-DVD..
Talk about a waste of money!!!!

[The Swan]

So, like we said during last posts... end of story... they "did" it again!!!
At least, will this format last long??? Who knows??? ::)
Oh yeah, they know!!! ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) 8)

[KissTheRain]

Blu-ray won? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Lucky for me I was waiting to find out who would win this format war between the two! But I bet on HD-DVD and now own my mate 5 Quid...dang!
