I have BOTH formats....not a WHIT of difference between them on a 73 inch DLP screen and $20,000 worth of equipment. NEITHER of them is particularly impressive. HD-TV, on the other hand, IS impressive.

I now have a TON of friends who have switched to HD-TV and NONE have bothered with EITHER format because there is virtually NO major difference between them and regular DVD. Oh, sure, for tech-heads, it's like counting the number of angels on the head of a pin.....there is a TINY difference between regular DVD and HD-DVD or Bluray on the best of the best discs.....but not enough to EVER make anyone rush out to buy these sets. Guys who argue the merits of one format over the other are simply perpetrating a HOAX on the unsuspecting public.

NEITHER format is anything to write home about. UPCONVERSION is!!!!!!!

I'm afraid this is going to end like the battle of the cassette formats back in the late 70s - 80s. BOTH will just fade away.......

Stop obsessing about all of this nonsense. And that is what it is. Relax. Take some Xanax!

You THINK you see something spectacular. Most people do NOT!!!!!

Maybe we ALL need to....."Get a Life!!!!"]]>Jan 27th 2008 4:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/Jan 21st 2008 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/

(Note the sarcasm in my post.)

In response to this post:
I don't see this happening until Paramount/Dreamworks says it's going to happen. Not even Billy the Hunt can change that logic... wait, all he has to do is post his "Two Cents" and he already does.

Damn you Billy the Hunt, and your FUD!]]>Jan 21st 2008 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/Jan 21st 2008 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/
Spielberg movies can appear on HDDVD with his permission. As of now his movies are exempt from exclusivity agreements. If they appear on HDDVD, they'll also have to appear on Blu-ray.]]>Jan 21st 2008 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/Jan 22nd 2008 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/Jan 21st 2008 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/Jan 29th 2008 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/Jan 21st 2008 8:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/

It's a no-brainer. They have to go Blu-ray if they want to compete. And they will.]]>Jan 22nd 2008 12:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/
After today I will not be reading Engadget HD again, because it's totally unconcerned with the truth and totally committed to promoting Blu-ray. It saddens me that such a well-read website has no integrity in these matters. In future I will frequent sites like HighDefDigest.com instead, since they don't appear to have any hidden agenda. Bye-bye.]]>Jan 22nd 2008 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/Jan 23rd 2008 5:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/21/new-evidence-that-paramount-is-going-blu/Jan 22nd 2008 11:07PM
