Official XBox Magazine states the obvious... ;) - Blu-ray Forum

darkpoet25 · 08-22-2007, 07:12 PM

In the newest issue of Official Xbox Magazine that my brother got I found this bit in the back of the magazine and thought I would share it here. Don't know if this is the place to post this thread, if it was I apologize. Here goes.

"Slashed in price by a whopping $20 was the Xbox 360 Hd-Dvd add on drive. Though it's reportedly sold well since it's release last Holiday, movie studios have continued to back Blu Ray in 2007, continually draining enthusiasm from the Toshiba backed Hd-Dvd camp. BUT HEY LOOK AT IT THIS WAY: NOW IT'LL COST YOU JUST $180 TO JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON OF THE LOSING HIGH DEF OPTICAL FORMAT."

Then it went on to another piece about retailers showing more support for Blu Ray. As I said I just wanted to share this with some of you, maybe putting a smile on your faces in light of the whole Paramount thing.

I think it's great that even a magazine such as this would concede that which we all know, that Blu Ray is doing far better than Hd Dvd.

OXM isn't published by Microsoft. It is actually published by the same people who also publish PSM (PlayStation Monthly), Future publishing. www.futureus-inc.com

I have to see a scan of that article. It is too funny to be true!

Well obviously that was printed before the announcement was made, is good to read that, but it would probably been different if you take the announcement in count.

Yeah I'm sure the next issue will say something entirely different. Magazines have a 1-2 month lead time, and by the time most go to press the news is already outdated. I thought this was rather funny when I read it. The same issue talks about the porblems with the Red Ring Of Death.
