I'm not buying a blueray player I have other uses for $1,000, but I'm sure eventually HD DVD or Blue Ray will replace dvd's, if you look far enough into the future.

Neither is close to winning for quite a while yet no matter what either side claims- this is still in the baby stages.....

hell, everytime time a Blu-Ray rep farts in the wind they declare victory. I think they've already won over 10000 times by now.

"Measured in the number of players, Blu-ray is already well ahead of HD DVD because Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3) video games console comes with a built-in Blu-ray player."
What were the numbers in the article, 5 to 1 in favor of Blu-ray, yet movie sales are about even? Claiming PS3 owners as Blu-ray supporters by default is, I think, a bit disingenuous. |

It's a bit hard to take this article seriously when it's sponsored by Sony Blu-Ray.

HD-DVD is still ahead of Blu-Ray in Europe. Not that I really care, but...

I guess I'm pulling for HD for some reason, but at the rate I'm getting through college, I won't have to make a decision until they stop making standard DVDs altogether--I should be able to afford a high def tv by then

Typical Sony Cockiness..."Blu-Ray wins"...yeah right!
I DO believe Blu-Ray currently has the advantage, with the PS3 being such a hot commodity and automatically being built-in to the system (as opposed to a seperate add-on for Xbox 360). Still, the fact that software sells are about even makes me wonder....the software sells will make or break either format! And this whole Analog DVD will be "done with" in 3 years....I think not! HD itself (cable or DVD) isn't catching on as quickly as they might think. Lots of grandmas & grandpas that own analog DVD ain't looking to buy a Blu-Ray anytime soon. |

If it defeats standard DVD within 3 years than so be it... I have more DVDs than I need and there are plenty out there still left for me to buy. I will NOT be upgrading to hi-def until I have a TV to support it. Will I in the next 3 years? That all depends upon whether my current TV craps out before then. And even then I may simply use it as an excuse to quit collecting. Standard DVDs will remain fine for my purposes and nothing they do or say can change that.

Blu-Ray should win. It has more space. Why do you want a media that has less space?

If that's your argument, then what you should really be routing for is Holographic DVD.
