I call it "DX7 bliss". As long as he never saw a faster computer playing a game in beautiful DX9 with AA and AF, then he would always think his was playing them nicely

hahahaha yeah, that sounds about right. My roommate definitely doesn't have the slightest clue about DirectX, let alone anisotropic filtering or antialiasnig.

Probably another reason why BR has worse picture quality. The audio tracks take up 3x as much space.

BluRay is Sony technology (which it has been spending lots of money marketing).

There is more chance of Ford selling vehicles with Chevy engines.

Actually, Ford and Chevy have co-created transmissions before which they both still use, and have collaborated on other projects. There has even been talk of a merger. There goes that analogy.

Anyone own a ps3 and a 360 with the HDDVD addon? Ever try plugging the HDDVD drive into the ps3?

Yep. This is why the 50GB BD has no space advantage over the 30GB HD DVD.

This could work as long as a driver and a player is written for the hardware under linux.

not exactly an easy thing for an open source developer to do

I'm sure The Cell is able to do this all natively. Just plug the 360 HD DVD drive in and it'll write the drivers/player itself.
