HD-DVD Vs. Blu Ray

[4dmin]

sorry but the determining factor for new DVD technology will be industry support...

Toshiba = HD DVD and Sony = Blu Ray

here is the difference...

Sony is going out on a limb again and trying to push their market w/ a very weak release of PS3 at the price of 600$; sorry but thats not enough. no one is going to go buy a 999$ dvd player just to have a little bit better video/sound.

HD DVD will be launching very soon in PC's this quarter + Xbox 360 for a 200$ attachment.

Cost HD DVD will win you can go buy a HD player for 499$, your going to be hard pressed to find a player cheaper then PS3 and with the shortage of PS3 your not going to be getting a PS3 for 600$ ... they will be on ebay for 1000+ for sure after release.

Bottomline if Blue Ray goes out how Sony marketed PSP movies, Blu Ray isn't going to last.

yep hd will be coming out for the pc, but blu-ray is already out along with blu-ray burners.

the price of blu-ray players will decrease ALOT over the next 6 months. right now their expensive because they havnt gotten to full production.

blue-ray is 2x the price of hd ... no one in their right mind is going to pay that for technology that is already out there isn't an advantage its like buying the new DIGITAL RECORD PLAYER for 1000$. its like reinventing the wheel. sony better work on marketing and backing or this will end up like PSP media.

Blu Ray is exspensive right now cause its all about how bad people want one, Sont knows that people will pay $1000 for them right now cause they are the new thing and thats what home theater is all about these days, keeping up with the times, after alot of people buy them the price will go down so the less fortunate can afford one too, its smart on sonys part to charge so much right now IMO, they just need to know when to drop the price. How much are the actual HD DVDs and Blu Ray dics????

actually its a bad idea as far as marketing goes for a product to be higher then its competitor considering they are both new market technology

HD DVD = 499 /// media = 19.99+

Blu-Ray = 999 /// media = 24.99+

its all going to come down to availability + cost thats always been the name of the game from floppy, zip, super, ram drive, dvd, harddrive, etc... whoever can get it in the consumers hands first will win do a quick search on dvd media on ebay and see how many are listed for both. i know best buy online was sold out on HD DVD players as well.
