no-sweat Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 So what's next, Blu-ray or HD-DVD? Meaning, if I want to start a new movie collection what format should it be?! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenser.d Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 You should wait an see who wins out. That would be the smart decision. If you want my opinion, I'd go with HD-DVD, but again, the smart move would be to wait. -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalx Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 seriously im sure HD-DVD and blu-ray will be an intermitent format for maybe 3-5 years max if that and then HVD's will be moving in and all should be merry but seriously for now with this HD stuff just give it a time till universal chips come round and you'll be able to get blu-ray or HD-DVD it wont matter both will work like DVD -/+ R/RW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hum Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 :laugh: Probably some solid state thing like the small jump drives -- except they will hold 10 gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimy Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 HD-DVD because you can buy hybrid drives that have dvd on one side and hd-dvd on the other side. Guess what that means. You can buy them now, use them in your dvd player. Later on, when the prices drop, you can buy a hd-dvd player + HDTV and you're set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
999 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 my prediction is that Blu-ray will be the dominant format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted December 2, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 2, 2006 Like some others that have commented, no one really knows at the moment, and I wouldn't believe anyone that said otherwise. Give it a bit of time, but eventually they will most probably be usable on the same devices in a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hupp Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 hd-dvd but that is just my opinion. I think consumers will buy hd-dvd over bluray because of name alone. They know what HD means and DVD means, but will think what the hell is bluray. If they are older consumers, they may even recall sonys horrible luck when starting their own format.

sn00pie Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I think it's going to end up being a choice on what you prefer more, I personally will be going for Blu-Ray in the near future, because I support the Playstation 3 over the Xbox 360.

shinevilryu Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Just wait and see tbh... the majorformat is still DVD. If u wait u'll be sure to have the major player in the future. But then again if every1 waits this will be decided in the consolewars imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mx Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I think HD-DVD will win, purely by consumers liking and understanding the name. High Def + DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrCheese Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Sony's formats usually die a horrible death, which makes me wonder why they keep making them, so I'd say HD-DVD... But if your really worried get a dual format one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
