HD-DVD explodes on the launchpad
Blog Comment I am still replacing my Video collection with the first generation DVDs for two reasons, first of all storage space and secondly picture quality. I really cannot see myself buying something like 'The Terminator' for the third time just for HD quality!

HD-DVD explodes on the launchpad
Blog Comment OK, so Sony "wins". Big deal, Blu-Ray is still too expensive and my TV isn't HD-ready anyway. My 1680x1050 computer screen could probably be made to work for a 1280x720 picture, but there's still no point until there's a practical DeAACS available...

HD-DVD explodes on the launchpad
Blog Comment It's not an unalloyed joy, certainly. Sony's custodianship of formats it controls has rarely been perfect, and there are plenty of reasons why the whole idea of HD may not be what the consumers want anyway.

HD-DVD explodes on the launchpad
Blog Comment But the battle is over. HD-DVD is dead. Toshiba is closing down production. It sold 1 million players in total. Blu-Ray has sold 10 million plus. When, where, how and why doesn't really matter now: Sony's strategy paid off.

HD-DVD explodes on the launchpad
Blog Comment PS3 sales hardly translates to Blu-ray sales. If the sole purpose of the PS3 was for Blu-ray then yes but it's a games console. One that Sony have been desperately trying to sell without much success until recently.
