BLU-RAY Ofcourse!!!!!

I have had both format. I still find Blu-ray as much better ooption compared to HD-DVD. Technically, Bly-rays are ahead. when you watch the same movie in both formats, its easier to pick BluRay.
Blu-ray is anyday better.
over all, I feel, the cost of all format players are comming down. just have noth of them together. why is this fight now. I am sure any person who can afford to have one of them could also be able to buy other player too. dont tell me that he is put life and soul to just purchace only one. 
. have both. if you feel you good movies on Bluray, watch them on bluray or if you feel you have good ones on HD go for it..no big deal.
enjoy both.
why do you want to unnecassary create fuzz between the two.
the bottom line..if you ask me.bluray is ahead.
no no
by winsoftwareman - 10/24/07 8:19 PM In reply to: BLU-RAY Ofcourse!!!!! by Adil Ahmedyour right about having both. I think lg came out with this player that plays both hd dvd and blu-ray, but how is blu-ray ahead of hd dvd? I saw both playing at office depot with identical tv's, and they looked the same. i would buy lg's new 2-in-one and look at movies in both format and see which on is cheaper. Like, if The Simpson's Movie is on both, but the HD DVD is cheaper, then yah. But if I was buying lets say transformers, then I would get the blu-ray because it was cheaper? Yah. There is no difference in quality.
Blu-Ray

I'll definitely go with Blu-Ray. Its holds more data than HD-DVD and more space is defnitely a good extra.
Id pick

High Def over blu-ray! Could this negatively affect the Playstation 3 in any way?
:p
by winsoftwareman - 10/30/07 9:14 PM In reply to: Id pick by job1866yes, because it's sony. See the magic! Sony sucks.
Why not buy both??

I guess it may be a little pricey for some...I had a XBOX 360 before either were released. I purchased the HD DVD player for 100 dollars on Ebay. I also bought a PS3 on Ebay new for 400 dollars. I have both connected to a 65 inch Pioneer Elite. I think Blu-Ray looks slightly better. However, I am using a HDMI cable for the PS3 and components for the XBOX. I ran the same Monster fiber optic cable from both into my Denon receiver and think the Blu-Ray sounds better as well. Im too much of a movie buff to choose one or the other. I'll save all the arguing for ya'll!!!
yesyesyes
by winsoftwareman - 10/24/07 8:20 PM In reply to: Why not buy both?? by PlatinumAVi think... lg came out with this player that plays both blu-ray and hd dvd. why not get that and go willie with both formats?
Blu-ray all the way

My dog likes watching blu-ray movies on my 52 inch flat screen.
I made the PS3 investment and it does everything:
1) Internet
2) Connects to my HP Media Center
3) Upscales
4) Games
5) is more attractive then Xbox
IT has USB ports so I could always eventually buy a USB HD Dvd Player as an add on to the PS3. And maybe Sony would support it.
For all the Anti-Sony crap on here, isnt Microsoft equally as evil and controlling. Come on people.
Blue Ray Is Better Simple As That
by ericbat - 8/22/07 11:22 PM In reply to: Blu-ray all the way by jh3101Blueray is better much more storage space and I like having lots of storage. I also like playsation better than xbox. 1. Cause I have a ps2
2. They have more games. Microsoft is more market controlling they have windows XP and vista and since they love to get your IP address when you activate windows I think they must be more evil.
sony, apple, and microsoft
by winsoftwareman - 10/24/07 8:25 PM In reply to: Blu-ray all the way by jh3101Okay, here's the list on dumbley high prices and control:
1. Apple: Ipod, imac, macbook, itv, iphone. money super black holes.
2. Sony: their laptop, ps 2 & 3, blu-ray, blu-ray players, tv's. Money black holes.
3. Microsoft: Office, Vista, Xbox, Server. small money black hole.
Blue-Ray Rules!!!

Because as usual these days Australia Invents the best eg. We invented the Black box flight recorder.
I Am Australian
Have Fun :0) Scott
This time go with Europe
by JohnCLord - 8/23/07 12:21 AM In reply to: Poll: If you had one choice, which format would you pick? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
The Europeans are already buying HD-DVD stuff at 3 times the rate they're buying Blu-ray. With videotapes, the U.S. ended up with VHS and Europe ended up with (Sony's) Beta. Let Blu-ray be used for data backups. Let HD-DVD come into play for movies.
If I had to choose right now, I'd choose HD-DVD. Fortunately, I don't - so I'm going to wait until the dust settles. Besides, they're both going to be obsolete in 30 years when quantum data crystals start being made to store terabytes in 1cm square chips.
Regardless of which format wins, there's no point in buying a player-only now for $500 when you'll be able to buy a player-recorder in the winning format for under $100 in 5 or 6 more years.
And when is someone going to make a DVD player that can play DIVX, XVID, and AVI files, (without a PC), or did I miss that one? I can burn 12, almost 13 hours of TV shows on a D5 single layer (4.5GB) DVD in Xvid format (about 350mb per hour), but only as a data disk for playing the files back on the PC.
HD DVD

Because i would have to buy all of my DVD's again in blue ray format?? just crazy!
so on the HDDVD player, i can play new movies, and my old dvds
not true!
by revolledo - 8/23/07 3:12 PM In reply to: HD DVD by savagedude_21Hi, I own a Blu ray player and I watched my old DVD movies in there as well. So, I can watch Blu ray movies or DVD movies, and it is true for the improvement they make to the standards dvd's.
And I received a cd to upgrade my player so it can play different formats.
So for now I choose Blu ray.
HD

It is really a toss of the coin which way to go, however, the main reason that I would go HD, as against Blue Ray is that so far the HD format is supported in accessoble video cameras. I have as yet not seen BR in video camera's
