Say goodbye to your HD-DVD players, Blu Ray is here to stay...

Yeah, no shit !! Not exactly an unbiased news source.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
Lawl Indeed...

HD-DVD must be desperate to try and bait in more customers to a dying format.
No kidding... Trying to get the most before the have to call it a loss...

That's some funny shit.
Most defiantly is...

Who cares about 'bonus' features. Last time I watched them I ended up turning them off because they were ruining my enjoyment of the movie...

Blu-ray Dominates Disc Sales Chart Post-Warner AnnouncementThu Jan 17, 2008

The Blu-ray camp took a decisive lead in disc sales for the week ending January 13th, the first full week following Warner's announcement that it would abandon its HD DVD support.

Though Blu-ray has outsold HD DVD in overall disc sales by a factor of nearly 2:1 since the start of 2007, last week saw the largest gulf between the two rival formats yet, with Blu-ray commanding an 85% share of all high-def discs sold.

Home Media Magazine is reporting that of the top ten high-def discs sold on either format, not a single HD DVD disc made the list, with the top-selling HD DVD disc ('The Kingdom') moving only one tenth as many units as the best selling Blu-ray title, '3:10 to Yuma.'

While it's too soon to tell whether Warner's announcement had a direct effect on Blu-ray's stronger-than-ever disc sales lead, HD DVD had been holding steady with a relatively strong 39% share of high-def disc sales in the last weeks of the 2007 holiday shopping season.
Blu-Ray is now selling 85% of all high definition discs! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

 
I still think there's a good chance by the time there's enough base for one or the other to become a dominant format, we'll go to a better way of data storage anyway //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
If flash keeps getting increasingly fast, cheap, and dense, I say why not start putting it on that?

 
Screw HD and Blue RAY take it back old school....

Laserdisc had uncompressed audio, and didn't require HDMI or whatever other acronyms these new generation players need to do it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
