Tosh+360 won't sell even a million in that time. Blu-Ray momentum will thus only increase with time.
-----------------------------------------------------------

not sure how you think Tosh+360 cant hit a million by year end since there are already close to 10million 360 owners all they need is the cheapest HD player out there ($199 US and CAD)the 360 HD-DVD player and its much easier to get than PS3 even now. as an added bonus the 360 HD-DVD works nativly with Vista and XP no drivers needed !!! also 3rd party PC software was first to support HD-DVD a lot of BD ripping/backup/playback software isnt even out yet but the HD-DVD software will

not too mention BD's higher product costs adn Sony's higher licensing fee's it really remarkable that BD is still here (guess we can thank the PS3 for that) but even though its gaining momentum now that not to say it will stay that way (movies sales have supassed HD-DVD for first time and so far the only time)
(quote)bootsielon @ Feb 23rd 2007 6:31PMUh, retards... The point is
that Blu-ray is gaining momentum with the day and HD-DVD is losing
it. If you'd been visting www.thedvdwars.com, every day Blu-ray is
better. Right now it's winning in every category, and every day
HD-DVD is looking worse. Numbers for Blu-ray will keep growing with
time, while HD-DVD will remain a niche.Poor, sad, early adopters and
HD-DVD fanboys.the only reason BD is gaining momentum is PS3 owners
are bord that their $600+ machine doesnt have any great games..yet
only other thing to do is play movies since Sony's online store is
lacking too just like BD's features and higher price point

Sony is notorious for trying to push proprietary formats on the world that nobody wants or needs that aren't even technologically innovative and then they charge too much for them (most recently MemorySticks).

I Agree but wasnt the most recently fialed proprietary format from Sony the UMD in the PSP? although used for the PSP games the format is virtually dead for movies

I have read quite a few BD/HDDVD same title reviews and the HD-DVD always wins with its In Movie features and its use of a better codec Blu ray is compatible with but has yet to use BD is still using MPEG 2 on all of its titles which is totally lame for a "next gen" format IMHO

oh also was Sony the loser of the last video format war aka VHS/Betamax
like BD and HD-DVD the Beta technology had distict advangages over VHS but the market chose VHS.

Sony's Beta lost to VHS
Sony Mini Disc couldn't dethrone Compact Disc
Sony's Memory Stick couldnt keep up with SD/XD/CF media
Sony's UMD lost to itself or rather lack of PSP sales to keep the studios interested (only odd movies for PSP are also BD candidates)

i dunno about all you but i see a pattern here not sure what it could be though...
I agree who needs to swing the wii remote that hard. I have had my Wii for about 4 days and never had this happen but then again Im not showing off in front of a camera trying to show how hard i can pitch or swing a racket.

this isn't likel happening in Japan as
1: it came out yesterday
2: the Japanese watch Miyamoto play tennis on stage and saw he wasn't swinging the remote that hard with the same effect.

fools i tell ya and hope they learn their lesson when Insurance doesn't cover their stupidity

"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
