Poll question: "Do you think the move by Warner Brothers for Blu-ray pretty much is the beginning of the end for HD DVD?"


Ken Graffeo is the co-chairman of the hd dvd promo group for Universal.

Here are some of his quotes:

"What’s important is that HD DVD owns the lead in dedicated CE player sales and maintains a 4:1 software attach rate over Blu-ray, meaning people are purchasing four times more HD DVD titles per HD DVD player than Blu-ray." and
"30GB is more than enough space for a movie with reference quality video and audio, with plenty of room for extras." both from: http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/ne...-blu-ray.phtml

"The HD format is about stand-alone players, not game systems. We don’t think gamers will buy movies"

"Even if the other format were to eventually win, there's no risk. Because that HD-DVD player you buy will still play your regular DVDs and, by upconverting, will actually make the discs look better." from: http://www.cdrlabs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23407
