HD vs. Blue Ray

I'm not sure if anyone has been site seeing or keeping an eye on the competition but it turns out that Blue Ray has won the fighting over HD these past two years. Sucks...now cause I have to sell my HD DVD player and my 3 HD DVD movies and I gotta switch on over to Blue-Ray. I almost thought HD was going to win sense Toshiba had bigger backups than Blue Ray such as Paramount Pictures, Microsoft, and more. Sony, probably being more popular, had somewhat smaller backups but still ended out on top. Oh well, there both the same to me, I just lost some money though

This little "war" is why I didn't upgrade when everyone else did. I knew that within 3 years one of the other would give up.

So sometime this summer I'll go looking for blue ray gear 8)

BLUE RAY FTW!!! If you own a Playstation 3 you can take your Blue Ray discs and put them on your Playstation Portable for free since sony owns ps3, blue ray, and psp. So no more decrypting decrypted dvd's and converting now we are all set to go!

I personally liked what features were included with the blu-ray format (maybe not the useless drm), as for picture quality they were about the same.
I just download the 4GB h.264 encodes anyway

because my tv doesn't support any res near hd...and my wallet doesn't support a new tv
