HD DVD Vs Blu-ray: HD-DVD goes beyond 50GB with new disc

[shadowprophet]

guys hd-dvd is going to win because the porn industry said they going to go with the HD-dvd instead of the blueray. Sadly the porn industry is the key here.

but It's not just about the porn.
When a new format starts going exclusive toward certain forms of media it's only natural regardless of specs or power or even storage space that this format simply will not appeal to as large a fan base as say a format that isnt as exclusive on its media.

besides the discs are fragil and easy to be scratched, thats what im worried about

[telboy007]

Ahh, they're both the same thing. It's bound to go with which has the coolest name.

sony isn't a bad coorporation, just remember how cool the fact that they Made The psp in the first place was

the battle of next gen discs will be resolved by customer appeal. Instead of replying on forums to show your support go out and buy HD-DVD or Blue-Ray discs. I say vote with your dollars to decide who wins. After enough people buy discs and players the producers will have enough units produced cheaply to drop the price until the avrage joe can buy the product...and that's when I buy my new Blue-Ray player.

I vote for Hd dvd as it has LESS DRM built into it(not DRM Free). Fox studios required both formats to have additional drm added to the already present AACS. Hd DVD to my knowledge did not comply while blu-ray did.

I hate to be a spoil sport, but WTF does this have to do with the PSP or Homebrew? Why is this site filling it's pages with random tech junk? It's burying actual PSP news with meanless clutter completely unrelated to why this website exists in the first place. Does this website really need filler this badly?

Blu-Ray has better storage per layer, but in comparisons HD DVD has better picture in movies and is much cheaper.

TDK has talked about making 200 gb Blu-Rays but said that they have no intention of actually producing them.

Yeah but the only reason to own a PSP is because of coders who give us tons of great homebrew and whatnot.

Toshiba always staying on top of technology.

Actually, porn was one of the things that made VHS the clear cut choice for the format wars back then. At the time Sony refused to licesnse the technology to any porn studios for use of home releases. Considering this was the first time (other than film reels) that people had the ability to watch pre-recorded video at home and that it was quite a few years before cable became popular it was a big deal.
