It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
It's not really smart to talk down something you will 'eventually' adopt you know. But man, what do I know ? Am just some random guy posting on the internet.
LMAO MICRSOFT IS PATHETIC AND JEALOUS. They cant control what happens, BLu Ray is here to stay for a long while.
Pretty funny. Large scale digital downloading will not be a reality for a good decade or so, even then it'll be in its infant stages.
yup, yup, yup, yup, coming from the same guys that tried to shut it down by telling tosh to continue building the HD-DVD format to start a format war, that way they can look like the real heroes that killed both formats by commencing Digital Distrubution, but miserably lost.
He's wrie about one thing. It will be a few years befor DVD fades away, some analyst say even longer. For one, most people have standard TVs and even when the upgrade for HDTV becomes mandatory (2008-2009 in the US) most people will pony up and buy a HDTV that has 1080i capability. 1080p TV will still be more expensive. Most people do not care for super high definition. Most consumer buy a DVD to watch a movie, nit to get eye splitting visuals and sound. I love it myself, but ost do not. Blu-ray is still more expensive than DVD $29 USD to $19 USD for DVD which is still $10 cheaper. Not to include the price of the player. No doubt it has dropped in price and will continue to be cheaper so the price will not be an issue for ever. I think that in a few years DVD prices will get to around $15 USD, this will happen before the end of DVD's era. When that time comes around we will have an new technology out the door, one being DD, new disc format, etc.
Most people will ask themselves why do I need a blu-ry player when most movies are still being produced on DVD, I do not need to spend anymore money, etc.
MS would not be touting about DD like this if it was going to take as long as many think.
