I wouldn't be surprised at the amount of these n4g articles if it weren't for the fact that all of the sources are unique, its just a bad time for hddvd, oh well, payback for all the ps3 backlash i suppose.

WilliamRLBaker6754d ago

really? last I checked it was they claimed victory in HIGH def format war not dvd war..cause last i checked DVD was outselling them super bad.

HarryEtTubMan6754d ago (Edited 6754d ago )

bro u are jealous. Super Jealous. Just shut up. Blu Ray is in the PS3(WHAT I PLAY MY GAMES ON)...give it a rest el doucheo.

YES WE KNOW DVD IS OBVIOUSLY BEATING BLU RAY IT IS ONE YEAR OLD. The point is Blu Ray IS the next DVD.LOL

Yes something Wicked this way comes... Universal is merging with Blu Ray

TheXgamerLive6754d ago (Edited 6754d ago )

DVD is still winning this war by a landslide.

And as far as High Def goes, well we'll see in the coming months, as I believe something wicked this way comes. Pay close attention in the next 3 months as new announcements will be coming.

..... HD-DVD is finally dead, buried, and has already decomposed?

BigKev456754d ago

If you have a both HD DVD player & Blu ray player, like I do, there are no worries. Blu Ray camp is acting like they won WWII, gezz. Give this crap a rest already.

unlimited6754d ago

No not until paramount and unversial go blu ray which will happen soon..

Fat Bastard6754d ago

The guy that wrote this isn't really that smart. I know blu ray will/has won, but blu ray isn't a form of dvd. Everyone keeps saying blu ray dvds, and they're totally different. They aren't even written using the same thing. The only thing they have in common is they both are round. If you're gonna write an article, you should know what you're talking about.

Did you know that Blu-ray discs can now be manufactured in the same facilities that DVD and CDs were made with minor adjustments? Just like HD-DVD, thanks to recent advancements from BDA (thanks, technology). Just thought I'd let you know. After all, Blu-ray discs are optical media just like DVDs and CDs, and they are read with lasers. The difference is the color and the dimensions of the lasers, and that Blu-ray discs are made with better materials (naturally a next-gen format would be better in every way, not just halfway).

(that's what you are talking about, right?)

However, I do agree, it's god awful when they call them "Blu-ray DVD" when it's just a Blu-ray. DVD is last-gen, Blu-ray is not.

neogeo6754d ago

Really smart guy?
So your saying that bluray is not a DVD?
lets see. "Digital video disk"

So bluray is not written in Digital code? (must be analog)
blueray does not do video? (must be a holagram)
and bluray is not on a disk? (yeah that round thing is a frisbee)

I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise

We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.

Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.

Scissorman81d ago

it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.

This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
