Blu-ray discs!!

[God]

Blu-ray discs hold tons of stuff(50 GB) on the same physical space as a cd. That's like frikkin vinyl to Compact Disc! A blu-ray drive, ten discs, and I'm set.

Soon we will be all using Blu-ray discs. I asure you that.

Nah, HD-DVDs are likely to come out ahead. For one thing, Xbox 360 seems to be more popular than PS3, and has an HD-DVD player option instead of Blu-ray. That and Sony, who is producing the Blu-ray discs, isn't allowing porn to be distributed on Blu-ray. Porn was the main reason VHS became the standard instead of the technically superior Beta, so it will probably do the same thing for HD-DVDs.

But I think the difference is that Sony is a much larger organisation that the one that designed Beta video players.

I don't think Sony will be to happy with two disk types going bust (UMD Movie disks [not games] and Blue Ray movies).

Isn't Blue Ray disks cheaper to make but the players more expensive?

I know who the Blue ray disk crams so much on (using a Blue laser to read the data as it has a smaller wavelength compared to red laser). But how does a the HD DVD the Xbox use work?

not if sony's blue ray is completely dominated by HD-DVD

[welshnerd]

Sony will make sure they flood the market. After the near Failiure of the UMD they will be predding hard to get the Blue Ray Disks up and running.

I don't really see the point in CD's, DVD'd, HD-DVD's or Blueray disks anymore. You might as well download everything. I always said the best thing to do would be to see a game ready installed on a small external hard-drive so its literally Plug and Play.

when will they be selling HD-DVD drives for the computer? any idea at all?
