New Line confirms it'll follow in Warner's Blu footsteps {Engadget HD}
Jan 5th 2008 5:47PM Why does everyone on the HD DVD side keep talking about the economics being bad to have a format winner....dont you understand the consumer buying a $200 hd dvd player (at a loss)isnt doing the industry a favors or paying unverisal 150 million to go exclusive doesnt help Toshiba or make them happy.or profitable....this is a war of attrition.. responible companies will go only so far with incentives to get marketshare..Toshiba is a good company...they will gracefully bow and exit...as far as hardware goes there are several manufactures that make blu ray...that will keep the hardware competitively priced...no not at an unrealistic loss...as far as software (titles) goes...I havent seen any edge to either format on price...other than giving the for free by the hardware manufacturer (who pays the studio for them) The bottom line: if you want HD Disc to be a viable format your going to have to pay for it now...prices will come done just like DVD...over time when the economic support it....for me $25. for a $100,000,000 movie played on a $500 machine that is a better quality that the movie theater is quite a bargin...

Poll: Where do you stand in the format war? {Engadget HD}
Nov 20th 2007 7:17PM Andy...Your so angry...and nothing what you have said has any basis in fact... Notice I did not bash HD DVD..I actually think its a good format.. Remember the whole idea behind HD DVD and Toshiba was to advance DVD technology to HD using existing manufacturing processes...The Blu Ray Camp wanted to take the blue laser technology further without working within the constraints of DVD manufacturing technology ... that said Blu Ray has much more potnetial..now some fact Sound and Vision Magazine review (read the whole 3 page article if you must):"BOTTOM LINE With its crisp 1080p Blu-ray Disc playback, flexible, wide-ranging audio options, and mounds of other network and gaming features, the Sony PlayStation 3 is nothing short of awesome. From my perspective, the only reason someone would buy a standalone Blu-ray player instead of a PS3 is a complete aversion to videogames either that, or the desire for a more traditional A/V form factor (that also includes upconversion of standard-def DVDs). That said, Sony's PS3 game console is one of the most exciting, well-executed home theater products I've laid my hands on in a long time."

Whats amazing for so bad a device is the waiting list...explain that...New users dont listen to these extreme reviews they are probably the people that when they got the device they started hooking up sata drives and modifying other hardware.
