Best Buy has decided to officially favor Blu-Ray.
http://www.twice.com/article/CA65312...?desc=topstory Well it’s not like they weren’t already favoring it.

Well, I guess this is truly a signal that it really is over... I was holding out hope.. I also noticed on the videoguys site that they lowered the price of the Pioneer 202... Those two together pretty much say it completely to me... Oh well, at least my A2 will play the dvd's I currently have...

bandwagon effect
Well, these are just the official posturings of what everybody else knew way back. These pronouncements, however, help fuel the migration faster and help institutionalize the BD standard. I hope that these happens pretty quickly so that we all can go on with our lives.
The rest of the world is basically looking at the USA market to take this lead. Hopefully, the tax rebates will spur the spending on BD and this snowballs into an unstoppable momentum, a point of no return. I hope that these happens pretty quickly so that we all can go on with our lives. This is one time that the porn industry can also join in to help hammer the last nails into the hd-dvd coffin. Us wedding shooters will have a better time sleeping knowing that BD is finally the standard of the world. |

But Blockbuster already chose a side last year[Blu-Ray]. You should definitely stick with them as they chose the correct side first. As for me, when I can find a Sony Blu-Ray player for around $249 or so[Sony briefly had a Blu-Ray player for $299 this past Christmas--but has since gone back up to $399] and when consumer level Blu-Ray authoring programs become available on the Mac, I will probably get a BR player. The PS3 is not really what I want...I just want a standalone player. |

It is amazing how quickly this happened. No one saw this war ending anytime anytime in the foreseeable future, until CES (or a few days before).
What a shocker when HD-DVD canceled their event. I think this carried more weight than Warners announcement did. Or is this all "inside baseball" that the general public is not aware of?

So the 'Betamax jinx' is over. One reason VHS won was greater recording time. Maybe greater data capacity helped Blu-Ray this time round. Scary how specs rule the world these days. I want my 1080p!

I wonder how long till these titles make it to Blu Ray - since they are only available on HD-DVD now.
