eXceem - High Def or Blu-ray?

chiewwah · 04-06-07, 03:26 PM

Which one do you like? High def or Blu-ray? It would be better if reasons are stated.

sajidibby · 04-06-07, 04:03 PM

blu ray cuz its on the ps3!!!!!!!! long live the ps3!

mattflower · 04-06-07, 04:04 PM

Blu-Ray.
I got the HD-DVD for the Xbox 360, go into any major retailer and see how many Blu-Ray there are compared to HD-DVD it's like it's not even supported!If there were more titles out then HD would come out on top due to the price difference, they need to sort it out

Strider · 04-06-07, 06:33 PM

Blu-Ray.

Many of the major film companies have signed up to Blu-Ray over HD-DVD. There is much more space on the disc which can end up with a much better user-end experience.

TheDetox · 04-06-07, 06:42 PM

Another Major film industry is using HD-DVD for there "movies"....(Blue)

I'm a Fan of HD DVD's

rockykabir · 04-06-07, 06:46 PM

Surely the poll should say "HD-DVD or Blu-Ray"? Blu-Ray is Hi-def after all

owz206 · 04-06-07, 07:44 PM

I have a ps3 and a HD-DVD dive for my 360 and personally i think that the picture on the HD-DVD is slightly better,colours are more vivid,but most of the major film studios are supporting blu-ray and with the amount of ps3 in people's homes i'd probably go for blu-ray because of the lack of HD-DVD players in peoples homes

**zara** · 04-06-07, 08:56 PM

Blu-ray, 'cus I got a free disc from Sony!

panteramad · 04-06-07, 09:27 PM

blu-ray, purely because its got a better name, so therefore its reached wider audiences. just sounds better.

mattflower · 04-06-07, 09:34 PM

But Detox has a valid point. Whichever the porn industry uses will become the winning format (Look at VHS & Betmax!) Purely because they have a lot of money to pour into it and as much as everyone denies it everyone loves porn.
But when Beta and VHS were battling it out there were no "consoles" which also played movies so maybe this time round the winner out of xbox/ps will also be the winner out of BR/HD . . . who knows

Mica · 04-06-07, 10:58 PM

Come on the HD-DVD! I personally don't know any of the technical background, but I sold my PS3 in favour of the 360 and don't wana end up regreting it!

Freebsterz · 05-06-07, 10:46 AM

hd-dvd just because of the price

the_icks · 05-06-07, 11:28 AM

once bluray writers become cheaper then I imagine it'll be the 'torrent users' choice

chiewwah · 05-06-07, 01:50 PM

i have seen a blu-ray trailer of fantastic 4 and it looks amazing but i haven't seen comparisons of both graphics so i can't judge for myself.

2000watts · 06-06-07, 05:11 PM

blu ray.. its more expensiv for a reason - ITS BETTER!

skillzz · 26-06-07, 04:58 PM

is blue ray not the way used to store data onto disc? and is high def not the quality? so can you not store hi def data onto blu raY DISCS?

Johno · 27-06-07, 09:05 AM

Personally I think Blu-ray will slowly fade away and HD will win this. Toshiba laptops are all going to use HD DVD drives in all of there models and they have a significant market share.

When will Sony learn?! Betamax..Minidisc. The last format they introduced that was widely accepted was the 3.5" Floppy.

leshemnoam · 21-07-07, 04:00 PM

I'm With HD-DVD!
i agree alot will depend on the porn industry.
i hate Sony and their bulling ways...

however i think in the end dual format will make this poll and the "war" a moot point, look at LG etc' both DF readers and DF discs are coming out soon.
also by the time the leader will be clear(and it will never really catch on before then) Internet TV will become more popular with faster broad bands etc'.
