@Microsoft: The Fox and the Grapes.

About BD fate:
It all depends on wether HD TV sets will become widespread enough before broadband reaches the mjority of households. Right now HD TV is leading almost everywhere except part of metropolitan areas already reached by broadband. I checked last week and the best I could get in small towns and villages is 640kbps, absolutely not enough for HD download. And 640kbps is less than the 1Mbps I got more than 5yrs ago when I switched to ADSL.
My cottage, though, still can only have an old 56kbps line, that actually reches only 48kbps.
Now in town somebody has up to 20Mbps, but the vast majority has 2 to 7Mbps (I have 6 now, my line is old and can't reach the full 7Mbps limit of my subscription) with some quarter still stuck at 56kbps and telcos lazily working to give them 512-640kbps as from anti-digital divide law. So, if most people are lucky and most telcos aren't lazy and avaricious, in 5 years most households will have up to 7 Mbps and country will mostly have 512-640k, maybe 1M if they better long reach ADSL tech. But even 7 Mbps isn't fast enough for comfortable HD download, it's just more than fine for SD download, so in 5 years it could be DVD to be pensioned, not BD.

Remember, that MS never really wanted HD-DVD to win. If they did, even 360 would have had one in it.

All they wanted, was to "delay" BluRays victory over HD-DVD - to make it even harder for it to become adopted as a standard.

Its just like this generation - its not about winning, its about neutralising Sony. They have done a pretty good job to date :P

 


So all those people who bought the HD-DVD add-on for the XBox360 were just part of Microsoft's plan to delay Bluray adoption?  And you guys LIKE Microsoft?

Well.. all those people who bought a PS3 were just part of Sony's plan to make Blu-Ray succesfull, so what's the point?

Lies. I bought a PS3 for games. Blu-Ray was just an (excellent) bonus.

So? I didn't say that people bought a PS3 just because of Blu-Ray, i said that everyone that bought a PS3 (it doesn't matter if it was because of games or movies) were just part of Sony's plan to make Blu-Ray succesful.

FUCK YOU AND YOUR SHIT. I'm just joking. Actually that's a good point. It works.

It's rather funny how people are immediately defending BluRay with how different it is to UMD and completely forgetting about BetaMax.... Sony's proprietary superior formats have a very, very, very bad track record.
