Kind of a difficult question. Since, at the moment, it seems impossible. For one, the studio support would have me say that yes, they would still release Bluray Discs. It would seem that Sony would have a proprietary media upon which we would fully enjoy games and movies. (nobody *****es about the media Nintendo uses, with or without movie playback)

its wont happen look at the links in my name the worlds biggest eletronic comapnys support blu-ray and a few rebeluous ones don`t or they support both but if it dose win nothing with realy happend beside maybe a built in hd dvd/ blu-ray drive maybe an add on. i belive and many poeple do that the ps3 will make blu-ray win and even if it dose developers will still enjoy all the space and higher bit rates . and when one format loses is when no one is exlusive to them or they stop making them

Well said above. Blu-ray just has way more pros than cons; ultimately it is the best choice. HD-DVD is one step ahead of DVD while Blu-ray is up two steps. It is just the fact that some consumers are stupid when they buy HD-DVD and now they are stubborn and are not easily adaptable to change so they keep hoping that HD-DVD will come through when in fact it has already lost and the market just needs more time to realize that.

If Blu-Ray fails which I think is highly unlikely Sony would still use it for their games. Where the 360 has a problem is that their HD-DVD drive just plays movies so when HD-DVD dies then what you have is an expensive door stop.

Filmmaker85 · 04-12-2007, 02:25 AM

there shouldn't be a what if HD-DVD wins

RAMBOJVR · 04-12-2007, 02:30 AM

am I flipping missing something here..... In the movie industry u have blue ray and hd dvd. If blue ray fails then theres hd dvd, but that doesnt mean the blue ray format for gaming is done becuz of this! the playstation brand has so many fans, especially with the recent european launch of the ps3. If blue ray is done in the movie business then itll go into another area where I'm sure its the undisputted winner... GAMING!

hd-dvd has no chance of winning. They have the toshiba player down to 299 plus 5 free movies. If that's not despration, I don't know what is.

There's a small chance HD DVD might win, but I seriously doubt it.

i agree with you, HD dvd isnt doing well at all, It just keeps getting worse and worse for them.

Its so true. I kinda feel sorry for them because thats years of research down the drain. I just wanna say.

HD-DVD and Blu-Ray have only one difference.

The Blu-Ray disc can hold more. Isn't that all you need. Its just a overall better disc! How can HD-DVD possibly win. No really.

I went into HMV the other day and looked at the shelves. They had 1 row of HD-DVD and about 20 for Blu-Ray. Its just funny. HD-DVD are like the really annoying fly that just keeps buzzing around your head. Its only a matter of time before you splat it.

'Blu-Ray DVD' That cracks me up. Its not a DVD m8.
