Consumer Reports' take on HD DVD / Blu-ray players: it's a tie {Engadget HD}
Nov 18th 2007 6:41PM I must say you are totally wrong.
Having two formats have made the prices go down. The format war is the best thing that has happened the market and the customers. Just look at when the DVD format entered the market. I remember bying one of the first DVD players and they were quite expensive, and kept on being so for years. It took a long time for DVD to get established on the market. Thanks to the price cuts people will enjoy HD DVD/Blu-ray way faster than with DVD (imo). People being confused about two formats is temporary. And in the end, I believe combo players will win the market, i.e. making no format a winner.
Thinking about Joshua Zyber's column (www.highdefdigest.com), HD will be a niche market for a long time. Therefore reluctant buyers wont be a major problem for a while; for us who though want to be there from the beginning, it is great.

DVD Forum approves 51GB triple-layer HD DVD spec {Engadget HD}
Nov 16th 2007 7:58AM I guess it has to be something about a standard that is not even really finished yet, and makes features like PiP to not work on older players, but what do I know? :P Yeah, Sony rocks. They really do. *i*
Poll: Where do you stand in the format war? {Engadget HD}
Nov 13th 2007 12:54PM There is no difference for you if you are watching something 1080i or 1080p. You get the exact same picture on your HDTV. Since the original material on the disc is 1080p/24, and a flatscreen only can show progressive, the end result is the same. 1080i becomes 1080p but half the frames (i.e. 30) but since the movie is 24, it does not become better if you'd have it 1080p/60.
Warner Home Video to support Blu-ray exclusively? {Engadget HD}
Oct 30th 2007 12:10PM This is hillarious.
It could as well say: Warner Home Video to support HD-DVD exclusively?
EngadgetHD. You have to shape up from your blu-ray-fanboyism. This is not serious at all.
Bungie picks PQ over resolution for Halo 3 {Engadget HD}
Oct 9th 2007 3:50PM Well, considering that most games made for PS3 runs att 720p I don't really see that your argument has any point. And how come many games (Madden Football for example) runs at same resolution across the platforms but lesser framerate? Duh!
Both the 360 and PS3 make excellent upscaling to 1080p though.
