HD-DVD just can't compete ..... Who knows ... maybe the expandability & extra capacity of blueray will spark a 3D video revolution ![]()

| Re: Format War One thing's for sure...I'm not buying any of this new crap until they get everything sorted out. I never want to be saddled with another Betamax (although, technically, Betamax gave a superior picture) and I'm sick and tired of the electronics giants acting like spoiled brats with our money!

| Re: Format War I'm grabbing a blu-ray burner, as soon as they become reasonably affordable ![]() Aka under $200 ![]() I refuse to buy HD-DVD .. 15GB's is a pi$$-poor excuse for an improvement in storage capacity, it's only approx double DVD capacity! Lets see.. 1.44MB->100MB zip->650/700MB CD->4.5GB/8.5GB ->HD-DVD / Bluray -> 70x -> 7x -> 7x -> 2x / 5x HD's double their capacity every 24 months & DVD's were common 6 years ago! That corresponds to a capacity exceeding 36GB's. Even blu-ray is a bit of a cop-out, but at least it makes a pretense of increasing storage capacity (with additional layers). HD-DVD is an obsolete (and inferior) technology before it's even released. I hope people understand this before flocking out to buy a mass-produced inferior technology that has deliberately flooded the market, again.

| Re: Format War I'm not making fun of it at all, I have a lot of porn (and actually have one dvd backed up onto a verbatim dl disk (just one lol, on dual layer anyway). I always like the coment on the tv show scrubs, if they outlawed porn on the internet, there would only be one website left, and it would be named, bring back the porn!!!!! If enough consumers want porn, it could very well effect new formats, and as we all know, enough consumers want porn!!!!! Fyi Mr. Belvedere, since you like doing polls, maybe we should have a poll. Do you just coment on porn in a living room thread to be funny, or do you actually have porn? A little, medium, a lot, or you are a sick bastard like ripit and have gigs of porn!!!!!!!! |

| Re: Format War @Mr. Belvedere, didn't take it personal at all, bey heck, its porn, you always gotta defend the importance of all porn, including high resolution porn!!! Anyone with less than 30GB of porn on their computer is sick! I couldn't agree more (if you only have a 40 gig hard drive, lol). |

| Re: Format War I'm sick, call a doctor ![]() I think the format which is first to be hacked and allow backups to be made, will be the winner.

| Re: Format War Sorry about that, females are of course given a slight reduction, since well, they're not as gullible as us blokes. I reduce your sick-factor to 15GB ![]() And yes, when it comes to our favourites, HD-DVD-R/BD-R (???) we can be quite sure that the format giving us consumers the best options will be victorious.
