Yep, the winner of the format war has been announced, Blu-ray has won over HD-DVD.
This occured when Toshiba, the backbone of HD-DVD called it quits, obviously leaving Blu-ray to nab it all.Some movie company also stopped production of movie titles on HD-DVD too, I forget which one though, sorry!
The Blu-ray[25GB] is better in terms of storage, having about 10GB more than HD-DVD[approx 15Gb] and then there's the ultimate- the dual-layer Blu-ray disk, with a whopping 50 GB worth of storage!!!!!Naturally, Blu-ray is more expensive than HD-DVD though.All that extra space will be needed, considering the size of todays HD movies.
Chances are though, it'll be a while before Blu-rays become common.BD players are priced pretty high for now.The Sony PS3 is a good bet, it even comes with a bluetooth remote, i.e.- you don't have to point it directly at the PS3 to give a command!!!Typical of Sony to come up with such outta-this-world ideas! PS3 aside, there are others like LG, Samsung, Pioneer Etc, Etc.Most probably, people are going to take a while to get accustomed to BDs.
This makes the path into the HD era more straightforward & confusion free finally!
