Props to our own Chris Beveridge! - Blu-ray Forum

He chaired a very informative Q&A about his site AnimeonDVD (aka AnimeOnBlu-ray) and about the anime industry in general at Anime Boston last weekend. I was there, in my Squall Leonhart cosplay, and I asked about a license expiry resource (a "get yours while there's still time") warning site. Unfortunately, that knowledge is only attainable through Metal Gear-esque spying. The HD war was mentioned briefly, but not really as a main topic.

Anyways, good work on the panel, and thanks for the free copy of Basilisk.

I did not hear about this. Kudos to Chris.

Deciazulado · 04-25-2007, 04:54 AM

Yes. And he was there, among other things, fighting for the BD cause.

I spent a good bit of time with most of the industry folks between panels. General consensus is still that most folks are basically waiting out the war. Found a few HD DVD proponents within the ranks and shook my fist at them of course. Some informal polling showed a lot of BD owners in comparison to HD DVD owners but the majority of those tended to be PS3 owners. All indicated buying BD movies however.

I found one in the line leading to the panel; had to set him straight on something. He had players for both, then started saying the "wrong format" was winning. I asked what was wrong with Blu-Ray. He said the PQ and SQ have been about the same, but there's been better extras on HD-DVD. I explained to him that it's a title-by-title thing, not having to do with the type of disc, and that since Blu-ray hold 2/3 more data, it's capable of more, and when those HD-DVD titles find their way the BD, they will have just as much if not even more extras.

Kudos to you bro for spreading the "word"

Now this increases the chances of Fate Stay Night getting a Blu-ray release (before this decade ends)

I can't wait for that day.
