I am sick of this - Blu-ray Forum

Paper · 10-24-2006, 10:15 AM

Thank you for your replies

I was not attempting to lead a crusade against Blu ray, and I do find the additional space very attractive. I did this topic wrong by breaking down their points.

The point rather was that the internal argument between the two formats is frustrating. It is simply annoying that these companies couldn't agree, perhaps Toshiba's fault considering most went for Blu ray. Blu ray appears to be taking the lead in bashing HD DVD, when they will virtually be the same in the end. Customers will pick the cheapest option and aren't going to listen to arguments like "I have more space" or "I have 1080p quality". I am a classic example of someone who has been confused by he amount of out dated and incorrect information out there.

The question is, does Blu ray really have anything special to offer me? I don't want a DRM protected disk, I don't want Sony to use an internet connection to determine the legality of what I am doing, and I want the cheaper option. I do understand it all has yet to be confirmed.

Surely someone can understand my frustration with these new technologies?

Oh and as soon as PS3’s go wide, I am getting one!
