TDK declares Blu-ray the HD winner
TDK: "There will be one clear global winner: Blu-ray disc!"
http://www.tech.co.uk/home-entertain...-the-hd-winner Where are HD-DVD recorders and writers? They both non-existed!

Re: TDK declares Blu-ray the HD winner
Should BD not end up as the dominate player, watch TDK switch gears in a hurry.

Re: TDK declares Blu-ray the HD winner
At this point I don't anyone but a few nerds care who wins, they just want the format war to be over so the players drop in price and they know which type to buy.

I've got a PS3, so technically I've at least partially "invested" in BluRay. But honestly, I don't give a damn. I just want a $100-$200 player and $15-$20 movies. Right now, $30 HD movies are just highway robbery. If they don't push the price down overall, neither format is going to really succeed. I think its going to take a long time for either format to get decent penetration. This isn't going to be like the transition from VHS to DVD. There were tangible benefits with IQ and convenience. With this transition, the only difference is IQ (AND OMFG SPECIAL FEATURES!). The vast majority of people can barely tell the difference (or enough of the difference) to even care about HD right now. Eventually DVD's are going to reach EOL, but its going to be because of an industry wide transition taking many, many years... not because of popular demand. For most people, cheap DVDs are "good enough". |

Re: TDK declares Blu-ray the HD winner
At this rate people will be streaming HD content over 20mbit+ home connections, making this format war irrelavant.
