We will be lucky to get a old color movie in 1080p glory let alone B&W.

Soooo..the hybrid player is out, it's $800, and Blockbuster hasn't a prayer once Netflix incorporates their direct-to-home HD movie feeds.

I posted this in another thread but it is very much relevant.

The format war is now over.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6186141.html

Toshiba is abandoning HD-DVD.

http://www.sync-blog.com/sync/2008/...vd-its-all.html

PS3 pwned?

In other words, did the PS3 have very much to do with Blu-ray winning the format war?

I would think that the PS3 is what started it...followed by BlockBuster...then Netflix...then Walmart. Opinions?

Mods...are we going to change the name of this forum to "Blu-ray Talk"?

I wish a new format comes out that craps all over blue ray before it even becomes as mainstream as DVD's.

Definitely not, between dvd and blu ray on my television there isn't much of a difference, not enough to bother me and make me want to get better quality. So to me it's just stupid to replace all my dvds with blu ray.

Plus I don't like the shitty boxes the discs come in, I like the normal dvd size boxes and different editions you can get.

All I've seen is horrible plastic boxes with this nasty blue bit at the top.

The only time I will get blu ray is when that is all they start selling and dvds start becoming like vhs, and that will not be for a long time.

Same.

Well, I will probably get a Blu Ray player when they cost under $100, but that itself probably won't be for a long time.

im waiting til they are under �100 too
when im buying dvds i wonder whether to stop and concentrate on buying a blu ray player then i look at my purchases from yesterday - Requiem For A Vampire - cult horror from 71 and Doctor Who The Aztecs from the 60s
if your a fan of cult flicks it wont make a differance as the transfers will never look good on a blu ray
