Bottom line PS3 wont have many exclusive games over 360, while the graphics will be slightly better, the console price difference, let alone the difference in price of games wont be worth it. Blu-Ray is just Sony trying to start another proprietary format, which I cant think of any previous trash that they tried pushing actually succeeding.

If you look at the benefits of Blu-Ray over DVD and HD-DVD, it's staggering. People said similar things when DVD came out. Personally, I want a 50GB disc.

Did you buy a Betamax player way back when, Nimrod?

That I'm actually happy about. I HATE that each new gen has to redesign a controller that already works fine. It's comfortable. I also liked the Gamecube controller

Other interesting facts:

The Nichi Corporation, who holds the design patents to the Blu-ray’s laser system, sits as an associate member of the HD DVD Promotion Group.
Even though Apple sits on the Blu-ray Board of Directors, its DVD Studio Pro software supports authoring HD DVD media.
Blu-ray, unlike HD DVD, requires a hard coating on its discs because it’s 0.5m closer to the surface. The polymer coating it uses, called Durabis, was developed by TDK and is supposedly extremely resilient and fingerprint resistant.
The Java platform is mandatory on Blu-ray as it’s the standard for menus/multimedia (i.e. all Blu-ray systems must support JVM)
Though Microsoft has not officially sided with either format, it has a number of long-standing IP cross-licensing deals with Toshiba. HD DVD systems will run Windows CE; the standard is currently the only next-gen optical standard with announced support in Longhorn, and an HD DVD version of the Xbox 360 is rumored for the future.
The first consumer Blu-ray device in the US market is expected to be the PlayStation 3.

There's a rumor that Microsoft wants to buy Capcom. That's terrible!

Who said I was trying to compare?

Irridescent Fairysex · 11-15-2006, 03:51 AM

blu-ray seems like the best format in paper, but hd-dvd has been implemented in a much more efficient way. from the reviews and impressions I've read, the hd-dvd's actually have had better transfers, and have implemented better the new interactive possibilities of the new formats.
