Didn't bothered reading the lot, but HD-DVD will win cause Porn Market already chosed it. End of war like it was between Betamax and VHS ages ago xD

VHS won because betamax, like macintosh, didnt promote as much.

betamax WAS better then VHS, but VHS promoted so much more.

VHS didnt win because the porn industry picked it :) they didnt exist back then ;)

Think again only one porn company chose hd dvd exclusivly.

Also the 14 billion dollars that hd dvd could get will not of set the fact that 80% + of box office money last year went to companys with exclusive Blu Ray deals so if when all those come out i think they will out strip porn for some reason

Umm yeah they did exist back then, and well before (they were all trading/using Cine Films prior to Home Video),and it's home video that is credited with the death of the peep show.

Home Video just launched them into the mainstream in a big way.

News that i read says only 1 exclusive to hd dvd most doing both and 3 blu ray exclusive.

I still maintain even with all porn on hd dvd blu ray will outsell it with main stream content. Unless perves are more likely to embrace new technology

Think Blue-Ray willl do better for companies (Higher storage/faster access & read/write speeds)

Not much time till we find out.

Everyone that has voted for HD DVD dose it not worry you that it seems Blu Ray has alot more exclusive content than HD DVD?
Actually, so far, HD DVD has been the one with a lot more content than Blu-Ray. Plenty of threads around on this subject.

Oh, and its not HD-DVD. Its HD DVD. To those of you who doesn't know.

Ps; Blu-Ray, not Blue-Ray :(

Twentieth Century Fox
Walt Disney
Warner Bros.
Sony Pictures

All exclusive on Blu Ray

Universal

Exclusive on HD DVD

Other Studios are releasing on both formats.

Which part of that has HD DVD with more exclusives you might mean they have released more titles already. But Blu Ray have mor tied to exclusive deals. Also there is stat floating around from the LG president (LG are non exclusive to either HD DVD or Blu Ray) explaing about how the 4 exclusive studios to Bluray had 80% of box office money last year. If that translates into sales of Blu Rays well it could decide things.

Hehe, you misunderstood. I meant extra content, bonus material. HD DVD had some stunning new features that includes stuff like realtime (argh I hate that word) interviews, opinions about scenes and a lot of stuff like that.

Was a huge article about it a while ago. Will see if I can find it.

I have not watched either a Blu Ray or a HD DVD yet so ill have to take your word for it ;)

Blu Ray single layer is 28gb so as big as a dual layer HD DVD . But i did read Blu Ray are waiting for dual layer to be mass procuceable then they can get 9 hours of HD on one disk.
