that I think, Is a very big point. Example: many people Say "Blu-Ray" is not needed, and with upconversion DVD player's the quality of DVD IS GOOD ENOUGH! that very thing is why the concept of PC vs Game console's is a moot point now due to that very same problem. the digital transition just went into effect recently, and most consumer's are looking into getting a HDtv in the US. the problem is if you do not have a 60" HDtv the visual quality of HDtv set's are real good on the smaller HD tv's. most consumer's view that their DVD's look great. Blu-Ray is a upgrade to DVD that's pretty much it, Blu-Ray player's still play DVD's and upconvert's. So the problem with some is vs' the price of Blu-Ray to DVD is the cost worth the upgrade? to some it is to other's it's not. that does not mean that Blu-Ray is a failed product or that it's going away, the problem with that way of thinking is that Blu-Ray still play's DVD's. because of that very same function it is going to stay in the market. this is the same problem with PC gaming vs' GAME CONSOLE's |
Movies and games are not the same. For example there is no need for antiliasing when it comes to movies so a upscale DVD doesn't have to worry about jagged edges even though it does produce a more muddy look and not the sharp image of the Blu-ray . You don't need UI in movie that you find in games. You often have a lot more text in games than you do in movies. Information are often put around the edges which makes the corners more important in games than they are in movies. Etc.
