Marc T points out actually some of the reasons why i don't like Blu-Ray or Sony. And i haven't burned my cash on running into buying a system, as i do not yet own one! But it doesn't stop me from owning more HD-DVD's whether i have a player or not. If and when i buy a player, it will never be a PS3, as it's not a "real" player, it's just a cheap player with gaming possibilites. And why would this kill my system? If you read my first comment, i said that if they don't come as HD-DVD i'll go for DVD or wait till they get available as HD download. Now which part of that did you not understand, i'll be glad to go over it a third time if needed.]]>Jan 27th 2007 12:56PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/
They won't come on HD-DVD. Disney is exclusive to Blu-Ray.]]>Jan 25th 2007 10:30AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/Jan 25th 2007 10:40AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/
Yes, but for how long? With millions of HD-DVD owners coming this next year into 2008, how long will these "Blu-ray ONLY" studios decide to avoid possible sales of their content by not supporting HD-DVD?

ALSO, you forget about the overseas market for so-called "Blu-ray ONLY" titles, that are also being released to non-region HD-DVD discs [can be played in any player world-wide]. USA studios are allowing their overseas markets to release in HD-DVD, not just Blu-ray [which IS region-coded, another Blu-ray bummer].

Also, what is the big deal about LITE-ON's Blu-ray drive. I guess everyone missed the December announcement that LITE-ON will also produce HD-DVD burner drives, as well as low-cost stand-alone HD-DVD players.

But a low-cost stand-alone Blu-ray player? Oh yeah, that's right - THEY DON'T EXIST! Blu-ray is an overpriced system, mainly used for videogames like the PS3 and computer-storage.

Don't believe the lies. Blu-ray movie sales are in 2nd place to #1 HD-DVD, and have been since day one. Keep trying Blu-ray, but by this winter, the HD-DVD system will be the most popular high-definition disc format for sales, because of lower-costs and better quality... sorry Blu-ray early adopters.]]>Jan 25th 2007 9:59PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/
Amazon also shows that Blu-ray has caught up and rising much faster than HD-DVD sales (HD-DVD had a avery large lead in mid-2006), and should pass it this month.

So, it looks like the end for HD-DVD!]]>Jan 25th 2007 12:44PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/
I believe with the current situation neither side will win and both will survive which will eventually force exclusive studios on either side to have dual releases.]]>Jan 25th 2007 1:22PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/Jan 25th 2007 1:47PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/Jan 26th 2007 9:14PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/

I cant find a Lite-on HD-DVD drive, and aren't they one of the companies that were going to help smash BD??]]>Jan 25th 2007 3:43PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/Jan 25th 2007 6:24PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/Jan 25th 2007 8:48PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/Jan 26th 2007 1:31AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/24/disney-reveals-date-for-cars-and-pirates-on-blu-ray/Jan 27th 2007 8:59PM
