A natively 1920x1080 picture down-converted to 1280x720 compared with a native 1280x720 picture is almost pointless since a lot of the data for the 1080 content would have been lost while the 720 content never would have had them to begin with.

Another way of thinking about it is to take an HD program, down convert it to 480p and compare it with a 480p DVD… you’ll be hard pressed to see much of a difference between the two although there would definitely be a difference if compared without the down sampling of the HD program.]]>Dec 16th 2006 1:22AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/
If you think that a 25 GIG 1080P movie looks the same as a 5 GIG 720P movie then well.... (enter some smart remark here).

It doesnt even deserve debate. It it simply an outragous claim.

If you want to rent a movie that looks way better than a DVD and have great convenience to it and is small enough to get in a resonable ammount of time and easier to store that is fine. But dont try to say that it is as good as 1080P. Compare them on a 60" SXRD 1080P display and then we will talk.]]>Dec 16th 2006 2:20AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/Dec 16th 2006 2:33AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/Please save this crap format!]]>Dec 16th 2006 2:50AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/Please save this crap format!”


I’m beginning to think that you are paid by Sony to post on message boards (as someone already suggested before). Either that or you have a blind fanboy love. Most of your posts do not carry any sort of believability, sense, or logic.

Maybe you should actually read the article that Engadget actually linked to get the whole story before leaving such a comment.]]>Dec 16th 2006 8:38AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/
He sounds most stupid when he says HD-DVD is "bad". Neither format is bad. They both offer phanominial picture and sound, and lots of other great features that make them much better than DVD. I prefer HD-DVD since it's more affordable.]]>Dec 16th 2006 9:09AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/

Most, if not all, of his comments really show his knowledge (or more appropriately lack of) when it comes to these formats.

A lot of his comments border on pure and simple spam… it’s a shame Engadget HD doesn’t have spam control.]]>Dec 16th 2006 11:21AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/Here is what i am thinking off. > http://www.gearlog.com/2006/12/why_bluray_will_win.php


And yes HD DVD is bad because its not enough for me.]]>Dec 16th 2006 9:17AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/Here is what i am thinking off. > http://www.gearlog.com/2006/12/why_bluray_will_win.php

Did you even bother to read the article that was linked to from engadget hd?

Maybe I should paraphrase and change it so that even you can understand… basically lets say we take a Blu ray movie, down-convert it (from 1080p) to 720p and compare it to a 720p HD download… we end up not seeing much of a difference. Now is that experiment really fair or even meaningful? No, it’s not.

As for your link, you can add that to the dozens of similar blog posts out on the web, it’s as credible as your comments. Not to mention it’s a rehash of what BDA supports have been saying since the be beginning. None of the points mentioned have, thus far, helped Blu ray in any meaningful.]]>Dec 16th 2006 11:15AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/December 16, 2006 10:53 AM

Agree. Blu-ray will win. And it should because is has more of everything. I mean why wold anyone need hd dvd when Blu-ray can have 2-3 hd dvds in one disk for less the price?”


If that’s you from the gearlog.com page, you really are a fanboy. 2-3 HD DVD movies on one Blu ray disc for less the price? What world do you live in and are you really THAT delusional? As it is now, with the 20 extra GB of storage space they STILL can’t get one movie on that disc that surpasses what’s available by HD DVD (at best it’s a equal).]]>Dec 16th 2006 11:30AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/12/15/xbox-live-marketplace-vs-hd-dvd-comparison/I am glad that most world companies dot think your way you fanboys think.

Maybe you should actually read what I post instead of just counting the number of times I post. I try to stay as neutral as I can and don’t post inane rambling. I don’t have a problem admitting or posting the superior aspects of either formats, I’ve done so in the past (it’s not my fault that Blu ray doesn’t have many, even though they should based on the specs and support). You on the other hand find it difficult to even clarify or defend your position of why you think HD DVD “sucks” or is “bad” and when you actually try (a rarity), it is just a rehashed blog links without any meaningful and regurgitated information with very little relevant.]]>Dec 16th 2006 12:49PM
