 Even if that were true it doesn't take away from how superficial the improvement (step forward) as a whole is for Blu-Ray in comparison to what DVD did in going beyond VHS.

 

?? S-VHS is 560x480. DVD is 720x480. BD is 1920x1080.

HD-DVD/BD is a much bigger jump over DVD then DVD is over S-VHS. The problem is TV's are not at a point where you see it.

That's not a reason to not start the technology now.

That is but one technical aspect and not the point as a whole I was adressing.

Look at the list I made above. The sheer number of improvements DVD offered over VHS warranted the format leap, it wasn't just technically better, it was more convenient and economical.

@ SSJ12

BD-Live and interactive movies are just novetly improvements, luxuries, they're not the leap forward that DVD was to VHS.

CD made a better format

DVD made a better format

Blu-Ray just made a better DVD

 

Just purely out of curiosity, would you feel differently if both the Wii and the PS3 had built-in Blu-ray?

 

 

Just out of curiosity all those of you that are obsessed with Blu Ray, would you feel the same way if the main companies behind Blu Ray were Samsung and Pioneer and Sony was not at all interested?

 


Of course, I just wouldn't own it yet.
