piratedzeus Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 LOL You couldn't find a better suiting scene "Der Untergang" - a good film which I should watch again some day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyd3 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I placed my bet on Blu-ray. Bought my kids a PS3 for Christmas, mainly for the Blu-ray player. It's nice to be right once in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hahaha! I'd hate to see the format war end so soon, though.... just when the players were starting to get cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people were waiting to see who won before buying. HD hasn't caught on as well as people had hoped, due to the silly format war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hahaha! I'd hate to see the format war end so soon, though.... just when the players were starting to get cheap HD-DVD players are cheap because it is sell through stock time for most retailers. How many buyers working for large electrical retailers would place volume orderes for HD-DVD drives when the tech looks doomed? Get rid of the stock as fast as you can, that goes for Toshiba too, they must see that the writing is on the wall...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I thought Dreamworks had signed onto the HD-DVD camp, and that is going to make a comeback for the HD-DVD people. Did I not get that story correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cronsell Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 This is too funny!!! I just sent my first forward email ever...I love it! On a side note, that is one VERY wonderful movie, if you haven't seen it, you should, I recommend it wholeheartedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I not get that story correct? Paramount and Universal are the only studios exclusively on HD-DVD and there are rumours Paramount is exercising its "If Warners go, we reserve the right to follow" clause in their contract.

HD hasn't caught on as well as people had hoped, due to the silly format war. I'd prefer if they were using price as a selling point, rather than market dominance. I don't like the idea of Sony controlling the market, either. They will jack up licensing fees and make the players more expensive than they need to be.

jb Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I liked the idea of LG's dual format player, but the price was too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it great? These darn cheap DVD players are amazing! I also have the 981HD on a Sanyo Z2000 projector to a 124" screen and this sucker is unreal! Beautifull, sharp picture....nice color... very close to HD! Blu-Ray is another story.....but I could live with this for now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asad Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) Yea for Blue-Ray, I was just watching "I am legend" that i had ripped and burned a Blue Ray of. Boy it was scary, the scariest zombie movie i have ever seen and Blue-Ray made me feel as if it was in reality.

I've had one for about 9 months and will continue to live with it until Blu Ray players come down. And it's more than a pleasure to live with as the video (and audio) quality is superb.

Rumor has it that Sony invented VHS, but didn`t like the quality so they sold it to JVC. Betamax never mad it as a consumer format of course, but Betacam was the format of choice for most pros for decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
