I can't help but think about Darth Vader right now sitting in that sphere thingy in the EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (Coming to Blu-RAY soon) talking to the Niveus board on his widescreen TV.

How did those $150 players pan out? Oh wait....

Just because you wouldn't spend that much on a media center don't cast it off. There are people out there who obviously buy these products]]>Feb 15th 2008 5:51PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/15/niveus-pledges-allegiance-to-blu-ray-bids-adieu-to-hd-dvd/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/15/niveus-pledges-allegiance-to-blu-ray-bids-adieu-to-hd-dvd/

LMAO

They mean sweet FA in the way of any customer demand for them to dump anything at all but a sh!t-load of format war influences.

ie more rigged market BS.

The customer is in fact being denied the chance to say a word in this.

Blu-ray are merely trying to exploit a wholly foreseeable initial lead the PS3 has given them to try and lock out the competitor format.

Talk about anti-consumer anti-competitive sharp practice.

If we had a Gov with any nads they'd investigate this; it sure as hell is not going to end up being 'good for the consumer'.

Naturally the blind fanboy element will fail to see this at all and talk about their 'love' for a game console.

Once again, what you've said is best applied
to yourself, a blind fanboy element.

The only thing "better" about HD-DVD is that its cheaper. Blu's technical specs are in the worst case equal to HD-DVD and in a few catagories, much better. If companies haven't used those capabilities to the fullest, thats not the fault of the format. 2.0 is better feature wise than HD-DVD and the 1 thing I will give HD-DVD for bing cool on is those few titles that have the DVD version on the flip side but that's a nice to have kinda thing. If you don't believe that the specs are better so therefore the potential is there if used, then look up both specs on their official sites.

Good for the consumer is the stupidest thing i've heard because at the end of the day, the consumers chose to purchase a superior technology with is significantly more future proof just due to 200Gig max capacity (quad layer, which is achievable). No one forced them to pick a side and its only the last 2 months that everyone has dumpped HD-DVD. So the consumer chose quality over value because value will come with mass adoption. So stop trying to be some preacher about doing consumers a favour! In an election, the majority rules and its the same here because the public doesn't want multpile formats to pick from. Get over it and yourself.]]>Feb 16th 2008 8:07AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/15/niveus-pledges-allegiance-to-blu-ray-bids-adieu-to-hd-dvd/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/15/niveus-pledges-allegiance-to-blu-ray-bids-adieu-to-hd-dvd/ ]]>May 13th 2008 3:51AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/15/niveus-pledges-allegiance-to-blu-ray-bids-adieu-to-hd-dvd/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/15/niveus-pledges-allegiance-to-blu-ray-bids-adieu-to-hd-dvd/May 15th 2008 4:07AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/15/niveus-pledges-allegiance-to-blu-ray-bids-adieu-to-hd-dvd/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/15/niveus-pledges-allegiance-to-blu-ray-bids-adieu-to-hd-dvd/Feb 16th 2008 3:04AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/15/niveus-pledges-allegiance-to-blu-ray-bids-adieu-to-hd-dvd/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/15/niveus-pledges-allegiance-to-blu-ray-bids-adieu-to-hd-dvd/Feb 17th 2008 12:25AM
