What do you guys think about this Blu-ray Vs. HD-DVD nonsense?
Is Sony being too optimistic about their Blu-ray format? Yes the PS3 ia using it, but what if the format fails? Many of you may be saying: "how could Blu-ray fail if PS3 uses it?" PS3 is using Blu-ray primarily for games. If the format fails to catch on outside of the gaming industry, then Sony is stuck with a useless product.
Blu-ray has many more supporters than HD-DVD, but that could all change once those companies realize how expensive the technology is. HD-DVD is cheaper to produce, since it uses similar manufactuing process as normal DVD. Blu-ray discs are thinner than DVD and HD-DVD, and require new production techniques.
Microsoft is supporting HD-DVD, and they are supposedly working on an HD-DVD Xbox 360. HP has recently announced their support for HD-DVD.
Should we worry about which format wins? Or should we just stick with standard DVD like Nintendo has done?
