So it’s safe to safe Blu-ray has won?
Seeing as Warner Brothers and Disney are exclusive to Blu ray, with the inevitable growing ammount of companies switching to Bluray… can we just call HD-DVD the loser already?
Not only are stores selling the HDDVD players for 100 bucks (cheaper than some dvd players in canada…) and fact theres barely any movies on HDDVD…
So. Who agrees. Disagree?
The war is over. Blu-ray won. It’s finally safe to pick a side and move on from our DVD collections. Warner Bros. said it best:
“A two-format landscape has led to consumer confusion and indifference toward high definition, which has kept the technology from reaching mass adoption and becoming the important revenue stream that it can be for the industry.”
-2007 saw Blu-ray software sales selling 3 to 1 over HD-DVD titles worldwide.
-This year’s shopping season saw Blu-ray Disc players selling 2 to 1 over HD-DVD players (even when Blu-ray players cost TWICE as much!)
-And now, with 70% of Hollywood studios backing Blu-ray exclusively, the HD-DVD promoters have backed out of this year’s CES (Consumer Electronics Show) at the last minute.
Early HD-DVD adopters should be happy they’ll be able to buy great-sounding and great-looking movies at 10 for $10 later this year. Hi-Def picture and Uncompressed sound are an improvement over DVD whether it’s “Blue” or “Red”.
