I KNOW that Blu-ray is the superior format

There are facts on the table you can´t deny,
And if those HDDVD people still don´t see the light,... sorry I can´t help you...

Fans LOVE it?
I HATE this war!! It takes up too much of my time, it is hurting my chances of seeing the movies I want on the format I support...

I wish it was over already!! Fans don't love it.. we abhor it but fight because we know there has to be an end and then we will get what we really love.. HD movies.

what facts and how is bd the superior format?
are you talking pq?
are you talking aq?
are you talking profiles?what
to me the issue with these formats is there to much alike.
both 1080p...both aq the same.
bd catching up with profiles.
depending on how well the disc was done and what was used for pq and aq its hard to tell whos superior.
are you talking space?well hd dvd is testing there 51g disc.
so as the the ceo of sony said its dead even.
im not happy as a blu-ray supporter that i may have to replace my profile 1.0 player with a 1.1 player,if they keep having issues with the software.
no! im gonna say it ban me if you want.
blu-ray is not the superior format...hd dvd isnt ether.
like i said there to much alike and when one side comes out with something like 3d movies ..now your talking

Everything in here can be disputed, most of what you say is false.

I don't think they are alike as much as you think. You are falling for FUD.

Another lame article written by someone who has no idea what he/she is taking about. Directed twards an audience that has no idea what he/she is talking about. AS long as words like "War", "Violence" are in included, the public will eat it up and to Hell with any attachment to reality in this so called war. "Fans love it"? Screw you. Go write about something you might actually have a concept about. Maybe next time we will see an article on the superior technical aspects of HD DVD compared to Blu-ray. Insulting to anyone with half a brain, but I'll bet the HD DVD Fan Boys ate it up.

Taking your points in order, Blu-ray is superior because:

PQ: Higher bandwidth availability means that stuff doesn't need to be compressed so much, therefore less compression artifacts. And Blu-ray's greater capacity means that that less highly compressed stuff has room to actually exist. (High bit rate would mean nothing if there was only room for 15 minutes!)

AQ: Same as PQ. Hence the much more frequent use of lossless audio on BDs.

Profiles: Yes, HD DVD has had network connectivity and PiP since day one. But how many HD DVD players are actually connected to a network to take advantage of it? Also, HD DVD's PiP is SD only, whereas BD's can be HD.

HD51: Please, it's in very early testing and probably won't play on the earliest HD DVD players (so much for a complete spec, hmm?). Until a movie is released on it, HD51 is vapourware--or as Amir would have it, science fiction.

And no, Son't CEO didn't say it was dead even. He was misquoted, as has been proven several times already.

what studio support! that not has great as its use to be.
you can get many import titles that are bd in hd dvd.
maybe theres studio support here but this war is all over the planet.
look am a little worried when the ceo of sony starts saying what he said.
so im concerned about hdm in general. well blu-ray win,i hope so but im not sure as i was 6 months ago.so ok i know relax and let it play out...im fine

The reverse is also true.

Stringer didn't say what you thought he did: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/...ef9b3771c93cf1

Yes, this war is all over the planet. In Japan blu-ray holds a 9 to 1 advantage, because the Japanese know high quality electronics. In Europe blu-rays advantage is 4 to 1. The only place this is remotely close is the U.S.

72% of the top 100 movies ever will be on blu-ray, 53% will be on hd dvd.

Low Post counts in this thread seem to bring FUD.
