Blu Ray vs HD DVD
I did a search and nothing at all came up. This thread shouldn't be long because Blu Ray is the winner.

yea, I've heard rumors that HD DVD's production has fallen because of the rising demand of Blu Ray...you can actually get an HD DVD on ebay for around 80 bucks...

Only bad thing is now Sony has no reason to drop the prices of the DVD's or players.

yea, I don't see Blu Ray coming down in price for another year or so...which sucks because I would ultimately just buy an HD DVD player for cheaper and get almost as good quality...

Blu-Ray has the bigger capacity plus all the backing of the bigger end companies so it was bound to win sooner or later and in a year it shall.

They're trying their hand in Blu Ray.. LMAO
I'll try and find a link for that but they're trying Blu Ray. Might be planning to drop HD DVD all together.

I think they should have forced the porn industry to choose and that wouldve pretty much cleared it up immediately.

Porn isn't as big as it was in the 90's. Porn is all internet now instead of videos/ DVD's.

Aren't porn DVDs expensive as hell anyway? Imagine them on one of those formats. Yikes.

Who wants to watch porn in HD? That just seems like it could only lead to bad things.
