Title: HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray (According to Microsoft Reps...) Post by: Kain-Xavier on 2006-07-17, 10:54 While I do not have a large enough understanding of each format to guage the neutrality of its contents, this podcast (http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2006/07/16/Show-183-The-one-about-HD-DVD.aspx) is damn informative.
This particular podcast is put out by Larry Hryb, otherwise known as Major Nelson, who is the X-Box Live Director of Programming, but you can just think of him as a liason for the X-Box Live Community. In all honesty, HD-DVD sounds more appealing to me, and with how expensive and detailed the manufacturing process for Blu-Ray is, it sounds as if HD-DVD is more appealing to the disc-pressers as well. I still think it's far too early to be pushing out a new media format, but I might pick up the HD-DVD player for the X-Box 360 if the price is right. Hybrid discs for the win!

Blueray ( or as i call it betamax 2 ) isnt a bad standard but with HD-DVD players selling for half the price and little or no diffrence in picture quality i really cant see Blueray winning at least not for set top players. Anyway isnt this all a little premature? how much disk capacity do we really need to play movies? you know the 32 extra gigs of space on that blue ray disk is just gonna be stuffed with ads and copy protection crap. Title: Re: HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray Post by: Lopson on 2006-07-17, 17:11 BLU-RAY for storage, HD-DVD for playback. Don't see the big fuzz on this subject, their functions have been traced for a long time.
