xbox360 HD dvd player deal...

[4dmin]

VERY MINOR? wow do some research man, porn was a 57 BILLION dollar revenue taker in 2006, not 1986 or 1996.

and btw, it's official about the HD DVD price drop, and there is a new form out for 5 free dvds if you buy a 360 hd player

the porn industry is going to be a big deciding factor on movie sales... though the american porn industry is going HD; some japanese company is getting around the disney/sony deal w/ no porn ... so the japanese porn going blu ray (not that it even compares to the american)...

either way it is way to early to tell; last sales results i heard HD sold less but they are making the same amount of money due to the fact it cost less so the % margins are the same. as far as production blu ray is just now selling disc in dual layer; all release dvd's even going into 2007 were on 25gb single layer while HD was on 30gb dual layer...

my conclusion: i own well over 1000+ dvd's and i wouldn't buy either you are crazy to go out and buy during the war over next gen disc; specially when there are companies already working on new laser technology which will surpass both HD/BR. the current technology has been around for sometime they are just now really trying to market it. my advice is to wait it out history shows what happens when you jump the gun on technology wars: vhs, laserdisc, apple/ibm, etc.

agreed to the most point. But if there was a company that already had a new technology out then perhaps. But with them just working on it they may hold off marketing it for a while also just as they did with the 2 formats were discussing now. Dvd's were around for a few years before they brought them out because they waited for VHS to reach i believe it was a 92% saturation. And now dvd's had reached that lvl so they released the other formats.

If any company were to finish their new lasers and release a new product it would not be for a couple of years and by then, looking at current sales many people would already own one of the current formats and be unwilling to spend another 500+. Furthermore, until tv resolutions surpass 1080p or companies go beyond 24p processing or hdmi1.3 etc etc, there is no advantage atm to a new type laser as Blu-ray / hd already push the limits of tv technology. Heck most companies are just now starting to release 120hz tv's.

again just my thoughts tho
