Go with Blu-Ray y'all. Believe me you will thank me later.

It is inevitable. I am saving you tons of money.

Late breaking news, Warner is going with Blu Ray so
the feeling now is Blu Ray has won the DVD wars.

I believe nobody will win the war. We will have to live with two formats
for
so long, that we will just resign to having two players or a dual
player.

Ya..that's what Beta Max said too.

Beta Max was Sony. So are you predicting that BluRay will falter?

No. I'm saying that Beta kept saying they would make it long after it
was obvious they were dead.

It seems like you're trying to make a correlation, but you don't know enough
to do it.

If one were to make a correlation between Beta Max and a current DVD format,
then the correlation would be that HD-DVD is VHS and BluRay is Beta. BlueRay
and Beta are both Sony formats. Also, the pornography industry significantly
helped the VHS format, and it will do the same for HD-DVD. It's way too
early to make such a correlation, but that's the correlation you would have
to make based on the facts.

BluRay has 20th Century, Sony Pictures, and Buena Vista (Disney).
HD-DVD has Paramount and Universal.

BluRay has more exclusives, but Shrek and Transforms proved to be big
bargaining chips for HD-DVD.

One reason that we cannot make a correlation now is slow adoption. When VHS
and Beta were battling, there was no other recording format in the home.
Today, people are pretty happy with their DVDs. So people will be very slow
to adopt a HD format, especially for porn, which is easy to find for free or
cheap on the Internet. MZ is probably right that something else will come
along before either format is widely adopted. In the meantime, if you want
to see every movie in HD, then you might end up with a dual player or two
separate players.
