Now I have a PS3 and it is much better than I ever expected. I have it connected to a hd tv with 1080p w/ hdmi connections. The picture and sound quality is so life like, maybe better. I will continue to buy movies, but in blu ray. I think this is just desperation on the part of hddvd and with a little patience the winner will be blu ray. Blu ray is truly next gen and hddvd is just a good dvd player. I was looking forward to Transformers on blu ray, but I guess I will just have to wait. I will never buy a hddvd player.

Blu-ray outselling HD-DVD by over 2-1 is a mild comback? You're an obvious Microsoft/XBox/HD-DVD fanboy. You stated no facts, just lies. Sony's Playstation 3 is superior to Microsoft's XBox 360 in almost every way except for ammount of quality games at the moment, which won't be the case for long, and XBox Live (which you have to pay extra for and renew again and again for more and more $$$), which may also not be the case due to PS3's Home which will have many new, interactive features, not just a numbers, achievements and stats page. It is Fact that PS3 is much more advanced and capable than XBox 360 and it is Fact that Blu-ray has nearly twice the capacity of HD-DVD and is outselling it by over 2-1. I would like to see some facts that prove otherwise, not just your opinions, predictions, and lies. Also, Mark, you mention Blu-ray’s “mild comback”..

Think of DVD-RW and DVD RW, there was no winner so the solution was to offer DVD recorders which use both formats. HD DVD/Blu-Ray recorder/player. You heard it here first. Of course, by the time these come out they will be dinosaurs. Every two years is a light year in technology. Conclusion, expect a recorder/player with both formats on one machine.

Entertainment companies on board are HBO, New Line Cinema, Paramount Home Entertainment, Universal Studios Home Entertainment and Warner Home Video. Blu-ray's consumer electronics list is longer, with Sony, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Pioneer and LG Electronics. PC makers that support it are Dell, HP and Apple Computer. Also on board are video game maker Electronic Arts and entertainment companies Twentieth Century Fox, Vivendi Universal and Walt Disney. What are HD DVD and Blu-Ray Disc? Today's conventional DVDs can hold 4.7GB of information, but many want a higher-capacity successor to accommodate the larger data demands of high-definition video. HD DVD and Blu-ray both use blue lasers to read and write data; because blue has a shorter wavelength than the red used in DVD and CD lasers, information can be packed more densely on a disc and a single disc can hold more. Both HD DVD and Blu-ray drives are able to read current-generation DVDs. Toshiba leads the HD DVD consortium, which also includes consumer electronics manufacturers Sanyo and NEC.

Blu-ray and PS3 failed technologies? A Blu-ray disk (25GB single layer, 50GB double layer) is nearly twice the capacity of HD-DVD (15GB single layer, 30GB double layer). Blu-ray is scratch resistant and offers more protection against piracy (illegal copies of the disk). Playstation 3 is by far the most advanced gaming console. PS3 (0-1% failure rate) is much, much more reliable than Microsoft's XBox 360 (30-40%+ failure rate). While XBox has an advantage in games right now due to games being developed on it for over 3 1/2 years compared to just over 1 year for PS3, PS3 will catch and surpass XBox 360 in quantity of quality games by Q2 of 2008. The Playstation 3 has dozens of features XBox 360 does not have, and has a long, strong future whereas you'll probably be seeing another XBox 2009 or 2010, as it will try to get another jump on Sony to compete, while PS3 is built for a longer term, more reliable, with more capable technology.

Oprah will just tell her audience which is her favorite thing. Who do you think gives Oprah her pay check? Mark Presely, hate to inform you, Sony is a monoploy.

They get out of trouble because of money, and they're never required to anything particularly well, because of their money. I HATE that company. Oh yeah, Paramount is stupid. I swear, some top level exec got his wallets personally padded by Microsoft because this idea is in no way a benefit to the company as a whole. I mean DAMN, if BLOCKBUSTER has already chosen Blu-Ray, how in the hell do you choose HD-DVD? That's just stupid.

To me & everybody reading this new info is just bull. No proof that MS paid. Blu-Ray from the start was a failed technology. The only reason why they've made a mild comeback is due to the PS3 which is also a failure unto itself. I would predict that Warner will be next in line to become HD DVD exclusive. I mean, the last thing we all need is a SONY monopoly. Technology speaks for itself, and HD DVD is superior then Blu-Ray. Facts are Facts. Disney will also be looking into HD DVD after Paramount releases Shrek 3. NO offence, but you should write about Sony buying out FOX & Lian Gate several quarts ago.
