Blu-ray has bigger install base, 4-5 times more studio and hardware support, and more sales. Nothing more to comment on!

The real-world catelog for DVDs is tremendous, which means that market had achieved critical mass a long time ago. Until the is enough must-have titles for a great enough consuming population then its really silly to say one format will win over another based on the paltry real-world catelog both HD DVD and Blu-ray currently have.

How many people can say there are, say, 20-30 must-have titles on one format to make that a winning format for them and one they can also afford? I personally have 2-3 DVDs I bought to show off the video and or audio of my home theater, but compare that to over 200 DVDs I have of which better than 50 were must have.

Since I cannot find one format that can justify the cost up-front for a 25 must-have title selection, neither format wins anything for me. This isn't to say the delivery system isn't merited, but rather the catelog isn't there. I'm not spending $25 on a hi-def title I don't want just because it is in high-definition.]]>Feb 4th 2007 7:48AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/02/03/hd-dvd-promotional-group-touting-big-name-spielberg-films/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/02/03/hd-dvd-promotional-group-touting-big-name-spielberg-films/
No bargin DVD's but then again those probably aren't must own titles.]]>Feb 4th 2007 8:52AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/02/03/hd-dvd-promotional-group-touting-big-name-spielberg-films/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/02/03/hd-dvd-promotional-group-touting-big-name-spielberg-films/

I remember when I read he was excited about Univers list for 07 but couldn't leak any titles...now we know.



Fry's on certain Friday's has some titles for $14.99.

They release 80+ percent of the HD-DVD titles, so, early adopters will more than likely end up buying a few Universal titles. Consumers really dont have a choice if they want to stock their library.

And, when BD takes over, they can make even more money by taking those HD-DVD isos and stamping them on BDs (no need to re-encode).]]>Feb 4th 2007 10:24AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/02/03/hd-dvd-promotional-group-touting-big-name-spielberg-films/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/02/03/hd-dvd-promotional-group-touting-big-name-spielberg-films/
One last gasp of air left….

It’s over Johnny!

Even if not, I don't understand why people go crazy with his movies. I can't stand any of them. E.T.? Pretty much any other movie on extraterrestrial life is better. Jurassic Park? They are OK, but hardly the best ever. If we're gonna bring back to life dinosaurs, why not put them on a Zoo and then shit breaks loose with an outbreak? Jaws? BORING. War of the Worlds? Everything would have been great if the ending wasn't botched. Minority Report? Not only one of the worst Sci-Fi movies I've ever seen, both because its boring AND because "Paranormal psychological prediction" is one of the stupidest ideas to relate to the future; that's so medieval. Not to mention it has Tom Cruise, and nobody likes Tom Cruise anymore. Schindler's List? There are tons, TONS of holocaust movies better than that one. }Munich? Man, what a boring movie. I expected more action, a better ending, and so on. Seriously, what else? I didn't know Steve-O was bad until I actually started analizing the fact that all his movies are pieces of. Great way to ruin storylines with hollywoodesque effects to everything. And by the way, people should stop insulting Miyamoto by considering him "The Spielberg of Videogames". More like the Harold Ramis, Peter Jackson, Ridley Scott, Stanley Kubrick, Brian DePalma, or Francis Ford Coppola or whatever isn't Spielberg (or Lucas) of videogames. Seriously.

Oh, and George Lucas owns Star Wars? Star Wars is old. The name "Star Wars" went down the drain after Episode 1 anyway.

Now Lord of the Rings, or anything competing with Steven Spielberg would give a boost to HD-DVD. Then again, we all know that's available on Blu-ray. Sorry Toshiba, better luck with your crappy burning laptops, or other non-memorable gadgets you make.]]>Feb 5th 2007 9:49PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/02/03/hd-dvd-promotional-group-touting-big-name-spielberg-films/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/02/03/hd-dvd-promotional-group-touting-big-name-spielberg-films/
