But if this gets the darn format war to an end, then maybe it's for the better. ]]>Jan 4th 2008 9:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/
Find one person who sits and goes through that extra crap with their player's klunky remote.
All that happens is you pop in the disc and watch the main movie.

Hence from the realworld point of view Bluray=More Space=Better quality=Win.]]>Jan 4th 2008 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/
I do. I usually do DVD's on my computer and the extra features are something I love to explore through when I have time.

Of course you don't really have the option yet (if ever) to play HD-DVD's on the computer, but I have a nice Media Center remote I got for my birthday, and thumbing through the d-pad isn't that much of a problem with me.]]>Jan 4th 2008 9:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/
The quality of the movies on Blu Ray are exactly the same as the ones on HD DVD.]]>Jan 4th 2008 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/Jan 5th 2008 2:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/Jan 5th 2008 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/
The only thing good about BD is the size of the storage, but other then that HD DVD is clearly a better format at the moment. The Interactive HD of HD-DVD has almost fully matured while BD hasn't even worked out the kinks yet. I hope Warner can some how get out of this contract and side with the HD DVD camp. ]]>Jan 4th 2008 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/Jan 4th 2008 9:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/Jan 4th 2008 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/
Well do you want to know another difference? Most of the big companies are choosing Blu Ray, I guess "different kinds of interactive features" doesn't help with it's future. Even Blockbuster chose Blu Ray.

Long live Blu-Ray!!!

At least some of these are real, as I got an auto-reply and a read receipt already...

[Posted multiple times to increase exposure - we are dedicated consumers, so let's let the execs know what we think about Warner dumping HD DVD, be you red or blu]

Warner goes BluRay and it's an instant end. ]]>Jan 4th 2008 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/

"I'm quite sure if Warner went HD-DVD, a lot of you guys would complain that they're prolonging the war."

Not me personally, but I'd agree with that assessment :)]]>Jan 5th 2008 12:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/

It is comments like yours that show how petty the Blu supporters are. ]]>Jan 5th 2008 6:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/Jan 5th 2008 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/
I hate the "special edition" good pressings that come out 8 months after the crap mediocre quality pressings. Just release the DTS MA 1080p version in the new format and the consumers will take interest in the new formats. Why pay more for a transfer that isn't significantly better than a standard DVD?

Would you pay 35% more for a bag of potato chips which comes in a bag that can hold 10 times more chips but only contains about 10% more potato chips?]]>Jan 5th 2008 8:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/Jan 5th 2008 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/Jan 5th 2008 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/the-real-reason-warner-went-blu/Jan 7th 2008 5:01PM
