which one will win?

 

blu ray

 

I thought they were the same thing. I know you need a bluray player for BR but do you need an HD DVD player for HD DVD's?

 

yeah, you need a HD DVD player for the HD DVD's. Most HD DVD players will play regular DVDs.

 

they are two different standards.

I will be a sony fanboy today and say blu ray

 

I don't think blue ray will survive. Mini disk didn't.

I'm going for HD-DVD

 

blue ray cause I may buy a ps3

 

MD is survive for a long time outside of US. It's weird how us American have different standard =P

 

you're almost at 1.8k.

they still use MDs in japan. quite popular there...

 

ya i don't get that. that's why i think blue ray won't do well with us.

Maybe the next betamax?

 

i thought both drives still need the red laser to be backwards compatible with DVD?

 

huh??^^^^

 

the biggest difference is capacity blu-ray 25GB, HD-DVD 15GB
blu-ray is well supported by panasonic, pioneer, sony, disney and warner bro.
HD-DVD is led by toshiba, microsoft and intel and is exclusive with universal studios. more movie studios seem to support HD-DVD. ther are more hd-dvd titles out now versus blu-ray
so basically whichever pr0n chooses will win
