Default Why did you come to Blu-ray.com?

This question is how how and why did everybody come to this website? I personally came here originally thinking this was the "official Blu-Ray website" but then I ended up finding out this was a forum. I've been reading this website before the launch of the PS3 and was doing research on Blu-Ray and wanted it to know what it was all about. After reading things on both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray I thought the obvious choice people would make would be Blu-Ray. The biggest thing that drew me to Blu-Ray was the heavy Studio support of at the time was 7 out of the 8 major studios supported Blu-Ray. While HD-DVD just had one exclusive studio in Universal Studios I couldn't help to think that they were destined to fail.

Now with the defection of Paramount/Dreamworks they have a little more time before I think the eventual will happen and Blu-Ray will reign supreme. I knew HD-DVD was cheaper but that didn't even make a dent in my thoughts of what format I was going to choose. Size of the disc I knew was going to be important and the fact the biggest disc for Blu-Ray is 50GB vs. 30GB max of HD-DVD I knew HD-DVD was less superior. I ended up with a PS3 because I am also a gamer but I love movies as well, and I have always been a Playstation fan so it was a really easy choice with all of those facts for me to choose Blu-Ray. I know alot of you out there probably chose Blu-Ray for the same reasons as I did and I am very glad that I did go Blu-Ray and found Blu-Ray.com! A big thank you goes out to everybody from this forum for educating people to make an educated decision on this ridiculous format war.
