| Coca-Cola said: It sucks that the studios will not allow us consumers to decide. I chose HDDVD because it was cheaper - I don't really care of the specs. Movies are awesome on HDDVD. I would have bought movies made by Disney and others if they will release them on HDDVD. Looks like the war is coming to an end - and I will choose DVD. Was thinking about BR, but not gonna happen for a long time. |
I, too, hate to see this. HD-DVD was definitely a better format (particularly considering the feature set with overlays, etc., doing with finess what Blu-ray had to do via brute force with more raw storage), but I can't really say the studios are at fault. They have to make money, and supporting two failing HD formats is very expensive. Had the HD camps taken over the DVD market, it might have gone on for a lot longer. As it is now, Blu-ray will have a somewhat better chance of surviving... depends on the adoption rate vs DVD now.
