It's too late. Consumers don't wanna be f*ked around more than they have been. A lot of people have already invested in HD-DVD or Blu Ray. Anyways, I'm staying Blu-ray :D
Unleash The Beast!

Haha, QFT.

Uhm...ok not sure what information you are using but go ahead and find the numbers for currently installed HD-DVD players and add that to currently installed Blu-Ray players then take the sum of those numbers and divide by the number of installed DVD players....you know what you get?
A very small percentage.

This is the format everyone has been waiting for.
Sign the Resident_Evil_5_Petition for a Wii release or Dark_Samus is going to come get you.

I was having the same chat with a friend today.
BW may not be an issue in the US - and parts of Europe - but trust me, it is for a majority of the world.
The majority of Australian broadband owners have 1Mbit or less - HD-DVD/BluRay both rely on roughly 40Mbps. Even the fastest connections here are not sufficient for "true" HD.
(over the air works fine though)
Normal definition TV shows (especially with a better codec) is fine though. And I do see these channels going through the roof - thanks to the 360 & PS3.

@Ivader - noise should be purely a function of the quality/design of the drive bay/system - not the underlying architecture. There is no reason a VMD player couldn't be really quiet.
Gesta Non Verba
Nocturnal is helping companies get cheaper game ratings in Australia:
Wii code: 2263 4706 2910 1099
Sounds much more promising than the other two formats, but then again it's not always the one that sounds better that wins.
I'm sure it'll get some protest purchases from those of us who dislike the current format war though. =P
also it might be 28x in speed doesn't mean it needs to read that fast lol.
Like dvds they read at like 1x-2x in dvdplayers
