It will be all over soon. The longer hd dvd manages to survive the better for Blu-ray since it drives BD price down.

How the mighty have fallen.If the following link is correct, some experts are saying HD DVD players could completely replace DVD players sooner rather than later, then it really is finished.

As for HD-DVD players replacing DVD players? I find that very hard to believe. For a start that price margin cannot be upheld for long, or if it can it won't be from the likes of Toshiba but from the budget hardware manufacturers. Consumers are swayed heavily by brand so unless companies such as Panasonic, Philips, et al jump on board the neutrality wagon then they have a hard sell on their hands. You will find that it is only consumers that embrace new technology that are actively interested in HD anyway.

The average consumer is probably ignorant of what HD is. I guarantee if I asked my parents if they knew what HD was, they would assume it was a sexually transmitted disease!

Standard DVD hardware isn't going anywhere!]]>Nov 9th 2007 8:11AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/Nov 9th 2007 9:51AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/
I don't want Sony to control anything until they lose that that arrogance and go back to the 80's style Sony when they were the epitome of quality and cared about products and customers. They need to be humbled like Nintendo was during the SNES years (i know this is not a game forum but hear me out), the Former Pres. of Nintendo was what Sony is now he was so cocky and arrogant from the SNES being so popular that he pissed off all the 3rd party support and made the N64 cartridge based and was the reason the PS1 even exists and was killed by it so they forced him out and put in a new man in charge and the new guy went back to the drawing board and created the DS and Wii and are now on top when they were dead last and everyone thought they should end the console race and go the way of Sega, now lok at them? That is what i want to happen to Sony. I want them to be dead last and have to rethink things and have to go back to the drawing board and come up with something awesome and ragain their 80's glory.

Does that make sense?]]>Nov 9th 2007 7:59AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/
Sony does not have full control over the BD format. You rant is nothing but fanboy fantasy.

Sony has shared the BD association with a slew of other companies that all contribute and have their own tech.

Toshiba is the one that wanted all the power based on their win for the DVD standard.

Sony is the one that went around and got the initial consent and buy in of the CE manufacturers and Content developers.

Today Toshiba and Microsoft stand alone fueling the HD war one bags of money so huge they don't actually have to care if they ever make a profit in movies.

If Toshiba was actually in the mood to share they would have had more allies. It's plain to see that they are the ones who went ahead alone. Going alone BD would have been dead by now along with Sony.

Sony is far smaller and has much less cash in this case. It might simply be a case of the fact they know they couldn't do it alone. The BDA is an actual alliance of companies.

Hd-DVD is Toshiba with some IP and lip service from MS.

Not necessary good or bad but this is the way it really is.]]>Nov 9th 2007 11:23AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/Nov 9th 2007 8:06AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/

"Toshiba sold their oldgen ugly players at 500% loss. They continue to lose money even on the third gen"

You're trying to say that the first gen players cost Toshiba $2,500 to produce?!?! That's classic! :D

And what about the #1 selling BD player, the PS3? It's losing money on every sale but you're not worried about Sony? You should look at the financial statements of both companies - Toshiba had a much stronger quarter than Sony.

On to the actual article -- I wonder if this is another PR move for Sony. Lots of people are sick of their arrogance, so maybe the new plan is to look more humble to try and gain supporters? Of course, one trip over to the blu-ray.com forums, and that disgusting taste will be back in your mouth, but hey.

@D@n: "Both sides keep declaring they have won. It's called aggressive marketing. "

Actually, I've never heard anything from the HD DVD camp saying that they've won.

Toshiba - as the only major MFG of HD-DVD players - can pretty much unilaterally decide to lose hundreds (presuming that's the case) on each player. No other HD-DVD manufacturer is really affected. Now, say Sony wanted to do the same. First, if they dropped down their current $499 player to say - $199 - guess what! So would Samsung, Panasonic, and any of the others. I'm guessing they would be none to happy w/ Sony's move. What - Sony gonna get on the phone w/ Pioneer and ask them to drop the price to $199? :-)!!! It's just not going to happen!! With all these manufacturers, you would first need one of them to fall on the sword, and I don't see this happening any time soon!

Point is, Toshiba has the current autonomy to do this, while Sony just can't. Who would have thought being virtually the only manufacturer would turn out to be such an advantage! ]]>Nov 9th 2007 10:15AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/

Sony has been hemmoraging green for a few years now and obviously cannot compete with HD DVD at the new player price points because of the losses they have taken and continue to take on every PS3 they sell.With the PS3's lack of a decent number of heavy hitting games this holiday and being relegated to 3rd place in the console war, Sony can't rely on the PS3 to fight wars on 2 fronts.]]>Nov 9th 2007 5:33PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/

You are completely wrong. HD-DVD is not just a toshiba project. HD-DVD was the only industry wide approved next gen format. Its Sony who decided to release the Blu-Ray even though HD-DVD was the one approved.

Anyways Blu-ray does not have a chance. Just look at all the Black Friday ads. HD-DVD around $190, cheapest blu-ray will be the ps3 for $400 and the cheapest player is $500.

Which one do you think consumers will buy???
The $200 HD player or the $400 to $500 HD player.
Also the $200 HD player comes with 7 free HD-DVDs.
The PS3 does not come with free movies.]]>Nov 9th 2007 3:42PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/
R.I.P.

Beta, Memory Stick, Mini Disc, Blu Ray, and yes PS3

PS3 is the next Sega Saturn. Released to soon, way over priced (and still losing money per unit), complex programming keeping third party developers away, and the most important...a lack of a gaming library to keep people interested even after a year on the shelves.

And for the clowns talking about Toshiba losing money on units, well feast your eyes my friends:

"The PlayStation 3's initial production cost is estimated to have been US$805.85 for the 20 GB model and US$840.35 for the 60 GB model; however, they were priced at US$499 and US$599, respectively. The high manufacturing costs meant that every unit was sold at a loss of approximately $250, contributing to Sony's games division posting an operating loss of ¥232.3 billion (US$1.97 billion) in the fiscal year ending March 2007."]]>Nov 9th 2007 11:18AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/

I'll say it again, from "HD-DVD is dead!" to "HD-DVD WILL be dead" to "OK, so, we're at a stalemate"...

The consumers have spoken. The marketplace has spoken. Leave high end (Read: prohibitvely expensive), DRM infested technology in the niche markets where they belong.

Give the people high quality Tech.

Give the people affordable, high quality Tech.

Give the people tech they can use freely without having to prove they're not criminals with their wallets.

Give the people Red Technology-

Give the People HD-DVD!!!]]>Nov 9th 2007 11:58AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/09/sonys-stringer-blu-ray-vs-hd-dvd-battle-a-stalemate/the format war last December or January, it was a bit
