My Blu-ray vs HD DVD article - Blu-ray Forum

richteer · 08-17-2007, 11:52 PM

I've written a (somewhat lengthy) article outlining my thoughts about this bloody format war, and why it must end soon. Despite my preference for things Blu, I have tried to present an objective, fair, and balanced argument.

I'd post a link to it over at HighDefDigest, but I don't have an account there. (I considered joining, but apart from a few notable exceptions, most of the people there seem to very immature.)

I would love to hear your feedback!

Bravo, well sourced and well informed I see. It is these quality arguments that should be able to help us in the long run. This is a solid piece of work. Just work on getting it out there to the people on the sidelines to get them to come our way.

Excellent. And I'm pleased you handled the region coding issue. Well done. That is frequently left improperly explained.

Like it or not there is a business reason for it to exist. And unlike the across the board usage on DVD, I believe the BDA has made a great balance between the need to protect theatrical windows, and the desire for people to be able to import discs from overseas (says the man with Bruce Almighty and Starship Troopers coming from the UK).

That was pretty good, I agree.

P.S: You had a couple of typos in there. No big deal though.
