Warner Bros. defects to blu-ray camp

Warner Bros defected to blu-ray. Just a matter of time when Universal and Paramount also defect and that will be close to end of HD-DVD.

HD-DVD group cancels press conference

Funny will be the future of Xbox -HD-DVD partnership, a deja vu betamax, when HD-DVD ends.

I'm actually getting a Blu-Ray player within a few months........I was undecided until I heard that the other day. Now I know which one I will get.

At least the battle was relatively short lived.

I don't care who wins as long as someone wins quickly. I vowed not to buy a player until there was only one format. (Another Betamax owner)

Time to save for a br player.... and ps3, new washer/dryer, new furniture, ring *cough*, suspension overhaul for goose, 335i and mods, trip to Italy, trip to Disney since Peyton has been asking, a baby........ wow, lots o things to save for. I need to win the lottery. And to think, all I wanted to say was I need to save for a blu-ray player

Something tells me that Blu-ray won't be around 20+ years like VHS tapes. The next great thing seems to be right around the corner at faster and faster rates these days...

I'm not sure that I agree. Blu-Ray is 1080p while the best broadcast television is only 1080i (Directv, HD)..
The leap in technology between VHS and Blu-Ray can not be compared even to the leap between B&W and Color.. The advancements that have come from this generation of TV/FILM has been outstanding.

Most of the cable networks are still not even broadcasting, shooting, HD. And beside the end user, you have to take into account the expense of equipment that is needed to shoot, edit, color correct, sound mix, online, etc..

Now, there may be some B.S. type upgrade, like a broader scanning module, etc. But the foundation is going to be around for quite some time.

Are you sure about that? Are you running the latest Directv dish?
