Blu-ray vs. HD DVDForum Discussion for Blu-ray vs. HD DVD 123456789…next ›last » Submitted by Kim B. on Sat, 01/03/2009 - 20:56
My 48" HD Plasma already shows more than I need to see on the actors' faces with HD DVD. I really don't care enough about an extra pock mark showing to run down and get Blu-rays to replace all my DVD players. See you in the pile along with Betamax and Firewire!

People, if you thinking Bluray is a latest successor or winner on these decades you,re really wrong again. Submitted by Jeff F. on Fri, 09/12/2008 - 21:34
Blu-ray sight and sound quality are unbelievable. For those of you that are skeptical, there's no better movie than Transformers to make you a believer. On 1080p, the picture is crystal clear, the colors are vibrant, and the sound is amazing, I swear you can practically feel those freakin' robots. Full of good bonus features that update in real-time (BD-Live capabilities). Plus Michael Bay talks about how they took each Transformer from toy to movie star.

i've seen both, and Blu-ray is the one that is sitting in my living room. Submitted by Heisenberg d. on Fri, 07/25/2008 - 15:11
HD is the biggest comercial lie ever told, a DVD upscale to 720p or another resolution looks almost the same as a Blueray or HD DVD, the look really really good, and pretty much everyghing plays them (on the cars, computers, and all video game console) Blueray will be a considerable good format in 4-5 years, for now DVD is good, and DVDDL can storage movies in 720p format which is HD too, DVD will rule for the next 4 year, HD is too expensive for the public, first is the TV, then the Player, than the HD audio system, that alone is almost 2000 dollars if you really want to get total HD (1080P) again is a comercial lie to sell all those devices.

I for one am glad that Blu-ray won. All the HDDVD supporters kept saying that the higher bit rates and more capacity was useless. Here is part of a review of the Blu-ray release of Top Gun from Hi-def Digest. It reads: Even non-action scenes have some pronounced atmosphere, which isn't always the case on older catalog titles. Dynamics have great punch, with the DTS-MA really impressing me with how much more pronounced peaks and valleys sound. I still wish the pop/rock tunes were bled a bit more to the surrounds (the score is superior here in terms of bleed), but that's indicative of the original sound design. Despite the increased loudness of the DTS-MA track, I had little problem with dialogue, which is clear and generally well-positioned in the mix. 'Top Gun' sounded quite good before on HD DVD, but I found this Blu-ray and the DTS-MA track to be a surprising improvement. Submitted by Sanjivaka N. on Tue, 06/10/2008 - 08:51
Hi Submitted by Chris L. on Thu, 06/05/2008 - 01:41
First of all, I have happily been watching BD movies since the purchase of my PS3 (which is whole other bag of good stuff altogether). I have an HDTV and would like to squeeze the most out of that purchase. It makes sense to have as many options as possible to make that HDTV purchase worthwhile. Secondly, the BD discs are more durable. If you have children (even if you don't) you know how easily the discs become scratched and even unplayable. All of my BDs look pristine because of the protective layer. Now, there's nothing wrong with DVD if you don't plan on getting a high-definition monitor or audio equipment. But for those of us who do, and the numbers will only grow with time, BR is the future and will be for some time. Submitted by Dave B. on Fri, 05/30/2008 - 23:38
If it ain't broken don't try to fix it. Whats wrong with DVD. Both BR and HD require HDTV which until they sort out the price of these then BR and HD will have trouble selling. Another format will probably come out in the next few years that ticks all the boxes and blows these 2 out of the water. If you put DVD up on the voting buttons I would guess that most of the people would be happy sticking with what they have at reasonable costs. DVD is not dead by a long shot yet.

HDTVs are selling. Maybe you don't have one but more households are picking them up every single day. New formats are inevitable. Happened to VHS, LaserDisc, DVD and it'll happen to BD someday, too. Just like game consoles upgrade every few years. Submitted by silvia s. on Wed, 05/14/2008 - 01:57
it seems that BR win HD its several advantages: Submitted by Jazmyne F. on Sun, 05/11/2008 - 20:02
A Big waste of money!! I've seen both of them Nothing is different they're both the same! I'm sticking with the DVD's I have now. There's no point in switching! It's not like an "8 track"!! Submitted by saeid m. on Sat, 04/12/2008 - 21:54

why should we have to send more money t0 change our movie collections so some one else can make more money. Get over it. ps Submitted by Chris L. on Thu, 06/05/2008 - 01:45
patricia- It seems for most people who own BR, they plan to purchase titles that they don't have and the ones that are yet to be made yet. Some will upgrade their old ones and that's their coin. Submitted by robert h. on Sun, 04/06/2008 - 14:19
I'v seen HD DVD and I'v seen Blu-ray and Blu-ray has won me over. Submitted by Daniel M. on Sat, 04/05/2008 - 19:56
Blu-ray already won, but maybe HD can come back from the dead!!! Submitted by S M. on Sat, 04/05/2008 - 16:19
Sorry Joe C but slysoft have made all bluray BD+ all ready out there crack even hitman. And for copie is piracy this is the disclaimer of ERAGON french version. I just look at the disclaimer from ERAGON bluray, in the french version of disclaimer say" interdit Tout reproduction sauf pour l'usage strictement privé du copiste " That meen that you can do a copie off it if it's for your self. So it make it perfectly legal to do so in CANADA at lease. Submitted by richard m. on Thu, 04/03/2008 - 21:36
Hannah Montana Goes 3-D with 'Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour'Tech specs reveal Disney's plans to present a first-ever 3-D Viewing Mode on the disc, along with a 2-D version as well, both in 1080p video. Audio boasts uncompressed PCM 7.1 Surround audio. I really want to know if you need a tv that is 3d capable or they going to put out those 3d blu ray players Submitted by Joe C. on Thu, 04/03/2008 - 14:42
Here is an interesting read from Reuters. The concern doesn't appear to be with how fast blu-ray adoption is (10%) now, but on how many TVs are high def capable. Bluray has crossed the 10 million mark, which is around 10% of the 113.9 million households in the US. I thought Blu-ray already won. Thats what it said in the Fort Worth Texas Star Telegram anyways. Please up date this survey. Submitted by Rom buster . on Mon, 03/31/2008 - 07:47

You only showed a limited view. Please check out this debate between Dobyblue and others on picture & sound quality. These are some stats from not just Highdef digest, but 4 other independent review sites of over 2000 reviews in total and he gives the stats not just by review sites but by studio as well. These stats were as of the mid 4th quarter 2007, and since then have climbed in blu-rays favor even more because of advances in compression engineering. Loading People... |
