LOL your kidding right!

And about the reviews the same can be said for you. Well im done in this thread since you obviously wont back down, well you win enjoy HDDVD and when you have to purchase a Blu ray player because HDDVD died no one will care so keep it to yourself since you are right

If BR Wins, I will be extatic... Because that will mean that there is now only one format and the ware will be over. Who could ask for more. Also, by then the BR players will all be version 2.0 so I will not have to give up the functions I'm used to on my HD DVD player. And since the price will have dropped to $200, I'll be even happier.

BUT, if HD DVD wins, what will happen to BR? Will developers still continue to make games for the PS3 since it would be the only thing that still uses BR discs??? Who knows.....

My predicition is that BR currently has a 85% chance of winning. We'll wait and see. I got the HD DVD mainly to quench my HD thirst until BR was more stable and settled. I only own 5 movies, so I don't have that much to lose. They way I see it, I bought 3 DVD players within 2 years of them coming out (paying about $180 for two of them), so I don't mind having to buy a new HD player in the next year or so.

You have to admit there is one great thing about the HD war. If it was Just HD DVD or Just Sony, prices would still be around $500 per player.... Oh wait, they still are for BR... DOH!

That is the bright thing, prices drop, but also tons and tons of people sit on the fence waiting for the viable format, and if too much time passes, we have a niche market, lovely.

When it come to spending over $200 on something, I think a lot of people wait for an event like Christmas to do it. This holiday season will be huge in determining how long the "war" goes on. If HD DVD sells more units, the war will drag on longer. If BR makes a good showing it could be over sooner. My predicition is that by middle of 08, BR prices will drop again to Sub $200 levels and then it will be over for HD DVD. It's a timed race. BR has to make a showing sooner than later.

My personal experience is that the average person will not buy the PS3 as a BR only player. I think that's one mistake Sony is making. A game system as a player just doesn't have mass market appeal. Sure it may sell a 100,000 or so, but the SA players is where they need to make the sale.

Come on Sony... Make the right choice for everyone now. Don't blow it by waiting too long.
