Every group has assholes in it, especially on the internet.

'As for future HD DVD software releases, Mr. Nishida could only say, "it was not our business, we cannot predict their business." Oh really? Is the lack of new titles on a dead platform really so hard to predict?'

If it's so easy to predict, why ask him in the first place? Isn't that simply a stupid way of making him tell something just to criticise him?

Don't get me wrong, I am all for digital downloads, but with the way broadband penetration is, and how unreliable ISPs are - it will be a long way in the future before I ditch physical media.]]>Feb 19th 2008 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/official-hd-dvd-dead-and-buried-format-war-is-over/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/official-hd-dvd-dead-and-buried-format-war-is-over/
simply in spite of blu-ray i will be downloading my movies.]]>Feb 19th 2008 3:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/official-hd-dvd-dead-and-buried-format-war-is-over/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/official-hd-dvd-dead-and-buried-format-war-is-over/Feb 19th 2008 3:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/official-hd-dvd-dead-and-buried-format-war-is-over/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/official-hd-dvd-dead-and-buried-format-war-is-over/
Toshiba will focus on NAND flash, it says, and rightly so: show me a 64GB SD flash card for under $50 and I'll show you the end of Blu-Ray. Anyone want to guess how long that will take?
Further, high definition disks, whatever the format, are a limited market. It is completely unlike the move from tape to disk (VHS to DVD). The adoption will be less pronounced, so the switch to a new format will be easier and faster as DVD owners leapfrog Blue-Ray and invest in consumer-friendly HDD storage, Flash card players, and movie download services with their related (cheap) boxes.]]>Feb 19th 2008 4:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/official-hd-dvd-dead-and-buried-format-war-is-over/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/official-hd-dvd-dead-and-buried-format-war-is-over/I don't know where you live but almost everywhere I know in the UK its not an easy case of "just getting decent broadband" everyone has to live with what you can receive which is average of a pathetic 4Mb/s even if you can receive better its doubtful you will ever get more than a 1-2GB of a download at full speed then you will be dropped because of fair usage. Also at this rate of broadband its going to take a hell of a long time before or some sort of miracle on ISP behalf before disc quality movies are made available. Take the movie downloads on Xbox Live HD movies seem on average around 4-6GB big most SD movies on DVD are about this size while HD movies on Blu Ray are about 20GB and up, the reason for this well its easy the quality is a shit load better. Most 1080p movie downloads Ive seen still contain some pixlation in the picture which is just wrong for HD also they generally look like upscaled SD movies, again wrong for HD if I want upscaled picture Ill watch a DVD. Digital distribution is a bit of a way off yet from being a realistic replacement to discs, theres DRM which is a problem also no physical item means you cant trade should you want to (although this may apply to games more).]]>Feb 19th 2008 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/official-hd-dvd-dead-and-buried-format-war-is-over/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/official-hd-dvd-dead-and-buried-format-war-is-over/I think my dad said it best. Who cares about high def, he just wants to be able to watch a movie. Blu Ray will continue to be a niche market for many years.]]>Feb 19th 2008 6:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/official-hd-dvd-dead-and-buried-format-war-is-over/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/official-hd-dvd-dead-and-buried-format-war-is-over/Feb 19th 2008 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/official-hd-dvd-dead-and-buried-format-war-is-over/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/19/official-hd-dvd-dead-and-buried-format-war-is-over/
