I've been wanting to pick up a widescren tv for about a year now, but with all the talk about new disc formats and new develoments in receiving HD signals into your home, I'm worried something I buy today will be obsolete in the next 5 years or that it won't be compatible with the newest disc format or HD/cable signal. I think this whole Blu-Ray issue is quite amusing. It will be years before this all shakes out, before there are a wide selection of players without first generation issues and before there are enough titles to make it worthwile. In the meantime I intend to sit in my theater watching the DVD's I have and enjoying them. |
Can someone explain the differences between Blue-Ray and the other new format?

Blu-Ray will come with the PlayStation 3 and become the de facto high-definition standard, similar to how DVD penetrated the market with the PlayStation 2. HD-DVD will die a prolonged, agonizing death and its supporters will eventually abandon it for Blu-Ray. Well, that's what I think will happen, anyway. The technology of either format is irrelevant. It's the studios that support each. The line-up is currently: <b>Blu-Ray</b> Sony Pictures (naturally) MGM (Sony owns this) Fox Touchstone Miramax Dimension Hollywood Pictures Walt Disney <b>HD-DVD</b> Warner Bros. Paramount New Line Universal Does that help? |
