I've said it before, and i'll say it again, Sony wants to be in control, unfortunately, many of the big boys are seeing right through their crap!  It's about time...HD-DVD will be king!  Trust me!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Adam Green]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 30th 2005 6:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Today on "Days of our lives", I mean Blu-ray vs. HD DVD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2005/09/30/today-on-days-of-our-lives/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2005/09/30/today-on-days-of-our-lives/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't care.

Why not take the Blue-Ray name and use HD-DVD's method of creating discs? ...if it were only that simple.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[alan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 30th 2005 7:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Today on "Days of our lives", I mean Blu-ray vs. HD DVD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2005/09/30/today-on-days-of-our-lives/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2005/09/30/today-on-days-of-our-lives/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don;t think that 50gb is a gimmick. With 50GB, you oculd record more hdtv which is why blu-rzy/hd-dvd was created in the first place right? Or, higher bitrates could be used to deliver better quality, as well as allowing for extra features such as computer interactivity and so on. I think the only reason why Ms and Intel would back hd-dvd would be because there is possibly more profit to be made due to initially lower hardware manufacturing costs. Still, Blu-ray discs would still work with the next generation of windows as manufacturers can create their own drivers. While many people say that the technically superior doesn't always win e.g vhs vs betamax, the reasons behind the winner was higher capacity. While Blu-ray will be more expensive than HD-DVD, with an overwhelming amount of players/recorders visible on the show floor, plus great movies on the shelves, I think that Blu-ray has a good chance. Anyway, if you;re going to spend the kind of money on a machine which can record to 30gb discs, you might as well pay a bit more for one that can record 50gb discs.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Leon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 1st 2005 8:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Today on "Days of our lives", I mean Blu-ray vs. HD DVD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2005/09/30/today-on-days-of-our-lives/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2005/09/30/today-on-days-of-our-lives/</guid><description><![CDATA[The only reason Microsoft is backing HD-DVD over BD-ROM is because the next PS3's are scheduled to be equipt with BD-ROM while the XBox360 sucks.  Since they can't win by a console matchup, they are trying to make Sony's standard obsolete.  Sony will prevail this time however, as they own a large part of the Hollywood movie catalog.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[my two cents]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 1st 2005 10:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Today on "Days of our lives", I mean Blu-ray vs. HD DVD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2005/09/30/today-on-days-of-our-lives/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2005/09/30/today-on-days-of-our-lives/</guid><description><![CDATA[Perhaps my use of the word gimmick was incorrect. In terms of recording HD, sure 50gb is better than 30gb. Unfortunately, I'm not sold on the fact that we are easily going to be able to record HD..I'm sure the studios will fight to the death.  As far as interactive, etc...I think most people will purchase the unit for the same purpose they purchased their dvd players.  They want to view movies with the best possible picture quality, period. I know some people enjoy all of the added features of dvd's, but most people I speak with, never even look at anything beyond the movie...The fact remains, backwards compatibility is really the dealbreaker as far as i'm concerned!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Adam Green]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 1st 2005 3:08PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
