    Blu-ray is going down!

    Optical HD Battle May Be Over: HD-DVD Wins - Talk Back - Digital Trends
    It seems likely that Blu-ray will fail. Sorry, Sony, you just screwed up again. Oh, and be sure to sign the petition for HD-DVD. We need only ONE standard.

    Boring Doom, I know you love anti-sony campaigns but who gives a F.

    I prefer Blu-ray over HD-DVD anyways, as I will only be using it for the PC (as backup medium) whenever it comes out...

    I for one do. And I'm sure others want to know what's happening in the HD movies market as well. And who gives a rat about you?

    That's practically all it will be good at. Until better solutions come. And they aren't far off.

    That's sounds too personal, like Sony is actually a human being and you are talking to him.

    I don't like the Blu-Ray format, and I know Sony is screwing up lately, but I don't consider Sony an enemy, because lots of their products are good quality. Sony is just another brand after all.

    But they sure have screwed up lately... anyway, it looks like their screwups may have doomed the blu-ray. Unfortunate for sony, but good for those who like HD-DVD. Maybe this war will come to a close soon.
    EDIT: Yes, a standard pushed by Sony. Sony's format and Sony is the main backer. Companies are getting a little nervous of the BD format now...

    The person who wrote that article is not being impartial. I hate that. Besides that, Blu-ray is not even much used yet. Too much early to say anything. Specially when related to PS3.

    Doom buddy, you're getting too much obsessed with all this.

    This isn't Betamax vs VHS.

    There are a lot more companies than just Sony supporting Blue Ray, it's just Sony is at the forefront because of the PS3.

    This battle is far from over; anybody that's declaring it over already doesn't have a clue.

    Oh, and how much of a surprise is this: MS wants you to use your XBox 360 as a HD-DVD player... just like Sony with the PS3. And after you tack on that extra $200 to do so, you're paying as much for a 360 as a PS3. Sticker shock, indeed.
