Default Picking Blu-ray over HD DVD is more like common sense

Good day. I've been browsing this forum for well over 2 years but didn't bother to register until now.

Back in 05 I did some exstensive researching regarding both formats. To this day, Im still baffled as to why this war is actually still going on after looking at the amount of support between both formats. This rant will probley be nothing new but I just want to add my 2 cents.

What I don't understand is the amount of bandwagoning, fanboys, and propaganda spreaded all threw internet thanks to people who are stubborn and produce invailed critisim regarded nothing but baised subjectivism based on that persons preference instead of being aware of what actually matters the most.

Support.

In clear bold letters. I've heard what the HD-DVD camp has to say. Price is a contributing factor. Yes it is, but price is something you should be looking at last before you make any sort of judgement. Some people throw money out the window like it even exists on products they barely research upon. When it comes to wars such as this, the most important thing to check is what companies are backing what, not the price, and not the specifications. If the support is there, you should care.

How many companies are backing Blu-ray? 100+? and HD-DVD only 30+/-? It's not even funny. Nearly the entire industry is backing blu ray. There is more supply and demand for Blu-ray then there is for HD-DVD. Sure, most of the sales indicate that the majoraty chose Blu-ray but support speaks the loudest above all. It's not about prefrence. It is common sense as saying 1+1=2.

Price is bragged about for HD-DVD only because it's a lesser supported perpriatory format. What's worse is paying for a obsolete format then paying for something that is eventually (Suppose to) win the format war.

Since when was Paramount and Universial the entire studio industry anyway? I understand that winning them back might end the format war quicker but we have nearly every media producer and electronic company. What we already have is a complete blow out. Not a close call, a blowout.

It makes me sick why this is still going on. Can't they just ring the bell already so I can finally jump on the HD-World?
