I think its time to face the facts - both formats are here to stay. I actually have my money on HD-DVD (slightly) dominating in the long term. ... IMO, this highlights Sony's strategy (including a BluRay drive in the PS3) as even more wrong. I don't see any compelling argument that its necessary for games. It delayed the launch of the device by 6 months. It pushes the price up, making PS3s less affordable. You'll see cheap hybrid players out within 12 months. This means that most companies will gravitate towards the cheaper manufacturing process - which is HD-DVD. I also think that HD-DVD owners will end up with a higher attach rate than BluRay owners - and the PS3 is only going to this equation a lot worse. Include PS3 owners - and the attach rate is worse. Exclude them - and there aren't enough drives on the market to warrant a release. ... If I could get a HD-DVD player PLUS transformers for $199(AU) - I would be sold. My TV still looks great, and does 1080i - which is all I care about. Â |
 I know your always anti sony but come back to reality. A Hybrid palyer costs $800, they sure as hell wont be "affordable" with in 12 months. Where will they get this huge cost cutting from ?
 Face the fact, what your opinion is a fact now.   |
9 months ago HD & BR players were mostly priced out of reach. Now there's $200-300 HD, and BR under $500, and both will likely have lower avg prices this holiday. It's very feasible that hybrid players will halve their prices next fall, esp if this format war looks unlikely to end.
