HD DVD and Blu-ray releases on February 6th, 2007 {Engadget HD}
Feb 5th 2007 5:14PM Nail, meet coffin. So basically, Blu-ray has the advantage in EVERY single context, including price on the movies on the same format (gotta love those combos), actual directors that support the format (Ridley Scott praised the crap out of blu-ray, saying it looks like you're looking through a window, where Steven Spielberg refuses to support hd-dvd, pulled his titles off of the list, and DEMANDED an apology), best hardware by A MILE, most studio and CE support, and basically superior in everyway possible (anything hd-dvd can do, blu-ray can do better).
So really, sell your hd-dvd products while they still bring in any type of $$$ and get to your newest store to purchase a PS3. You will be shocked at how amazing it is hardware wise. From putting the disc to movie on screen = 8-10 seconds. Good luck to all the new Blu-Ray owners and welcome to the fun side!

The current state of the format war: no end in sight {Engadget HD}
Jan 30th 2007 8:48AM Blu-Ray is selling 3:1 versus HD-DVD according to retail sales numbers provided to insiders. Its just a matter of time till sales are 5:1 and at that point, universal will no longer keep up the charade and we'll have the war over. Dont get it twisted. THE WAR IS ALREADY OVER. Blu-Ray has won.
Panasonic DMP-BD10 Blu-ray Player firmware update {Engadget HD}
Jan 18th 2007 11:30PM Are you retarded? This wasnt to FIX anything! They are IMPROVING an already excellent player. Do not compare it to the hd-dvd side which has to issue updates so that movies can even be watchable. Thanks.

Jan 15th 2007 2:57PM This is the most absurd thing i think i have ever read. The 360 is at least 4x as loud as the PS3.
Round one goes to the hackers: BackupHDDVD rips open AACS {Engadget}
Jan 13th 2007 3:38PM The studios are not worried about 30 gig files that you cannot even burn yet to a blank hd-dvd disc. The US has too crappy a internet and its super complicated. Their main concern is the big Chinese pressing houses that bootleg dvds all day and night. They can do HD-DVDs on the same lines with a little modification, and WILL do it now that it is available.
And Rom-Mark is already in effect, its actually a chip that plugs into the pressing box and hard codes the key onto the press during the image process. No Rom Mark chip plugged in, no way to press discs. Very simple. So yes, Blu-Ray IS protected for the long run, HD-DVD left itself wide open with its pants down.
Also, all you pro hd-dvd guys, do you not realize that Microsoft is only in it to try and sabotage Blu-Ray? They dont give a CRAP about hd-dvd, they never have. But they wanted the next gen format race to become crap and never take off so that people would give up and go to downloading HD movies using Microsoft's VC-1 Codec. That is their #1 objective. If HD-DVD were to win tomorrow, microsoft would drop them like a hot potato. Would would you want to be on the side of a propaganda machine thats #1 objective is to destroy media on discs? You really need to open your eyes and see WHY microsoft is basically running HD-DVD now.

You are retarded. Its the full HD-DVD version with HD-DVD menus and all the SD extras from the disc. Its a completely decrypted version of the hd-dvd in everyway. It is not a satellite in MPEG2 or H.264 from europe, this is the real deal.
