lol laugh.gif lol laugh.gif

another un-critical mind fooled by Sony spinsters internet news headline laugh.gif

from the article itself:

QUOTE
Target would not say why it decided to sell only Blu-ray players in stores. Sony is paying a fee to have its products featured in the end-of-aisle display, called an endcap...


Sony bought an end cap at Target. Target is not promoting "Blu-ray". Sony bought an encap to promote ONLY Sony's BD $499 player.

also from the same article:

QUOTE
"We are not proclaiming one format vs. the other as the preferred consumer technology, and software will continue to be available to our guests in both the Blu-ray and HD DVD format," Target spokeswoman Brie Heath said.


this is what SONY is trying to make readers believe which their spins. and it worked on OmniAtlas at least wink.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

LOL, you took the bait didn't you. You don't gettit do you? It was a tit-for-tat approach for your FUD posting on every it-bit move on the HD-DVD camp (which is why I posted an article which also included information in DEFENSE of HD-DVD) and to prove my point that you'll jump at every moment to post inflammatory comments --

But hey, I guess desperate times count for desperate measures. For the new readers following this thread, as I've said before, read the LONG post I made a couple pages back explaining why blu-ray will win and the numbers to back it up and please for God sake, stop listening to all the FUD being spewed out.

g5sim, you're just making yourself look more like a fool everyday. You're now on my permanent ignore list.

people buy HD DVD of its value added feature, because of its consumer friendly price, stellar audio and video presentation.

people buy BD because its going to win the format war.

audio/video quality is consistent. Better extra feature (interactive and non interative alike) despite smaller disk space. Blood diamond, 300 is two Extremely good titles where HD DVD totally blow BD off the water tongue.gif and guess what, the players is you get two HD DVD players with the price of the cheapest BD player (PS3 included wink.gif and their PC drive (the add on) is selling at $149 at Best Buy in USA this comes with 6 Free HD DVD movies and a universal controller tongue.gif

As the previous poster mentioned you need to have a hi-end PC if you would like to watch HD-DVD -- you'll also need the additional software, and the necessary drivers from Microsoft. The alternative would be to get an xbox 360 but with the added cost of that and the hd dvd add on it would come up to be more than the PS3. Personally, I would shell out a few hundred more dollars for the 20 GB PS3 (if you can still find them, someone mentioned in another post they found it for RM 1000) and you'll get the playstation gaming machine as an added benefit. If you can't afford the machine, then I would wait a few months -- prices are dropping down faster, and you'll have a very crystal clear indication of who has won the high definition battle.

*Omni

No plan to buy either xbox 360 or ps3. now on my list is Wii rclxm9.gif


*Leenaz

when watching dvd (not hd) the display on my lcd monitor usually better than my lcd...i guess
it coz of my lcd monitor screen size smaller than lcd (17 inch compare to 32 inch).

Will this story be construed as flamebait? Some may think so, but we think it's just a way for Sony to reach out to consumers and say "hey, see, the investment into a new storage medium, Blu-ray, was worthwhile after all!" See, Project Gotham Racing 4's developers came out and said they were not going to include different times of day for their tracks -- not because they couldn't, but because they were unable to fit the texture data onto the DVDs for the game.

Dave Karraker took the opportunity to jump into this announcement with one of his own: "Next generation games simply need more space on the disc to contain all that high-definition content. Take a look at Lair, for example, already pushing 25GB of content, and that is a first-generation title." While it's still hard to really differentiate between the games on the two competing consoles in terms of sheer graphical ability, there is a pretty telling gap between the different options available to a game with a lot more free memory space to fill. What do you guys think? Is Blu-ray a justified investment, or would DVD's have been good enough (would you want to have 3 discs for Lair)?


Blu-ray is justified?

The 1080P HD trailer I downloaded from the Playstation Network seems pretty crystal clear to me. When I get 300 on blu-ray I'll see how it holds up. I think if you check the AVP forums (do a google search) they rate the quality of HD release films -- they give all HD releases a tier ranking system.
