Sony fakes Blu-ray playback [ Update] {Engadget HD}
May 17th 2006 1:03AM Uh-oh! Forget the fact that they were faking Blu-Ray--they bootlegged a DVD! Where's the MPAA when you need them?

Blu-ray movies are cheaper than HD DVD {Engadget HD}
May 15th 2006 9:13AM This guy lists prices for HD-DVD that are misleading or don't exist. The $31.99 title he listed is a HD-DVD/standard-DVD combo. The next two highest-priced titles he lists for HD-DVD aren't listed as far as I can tell.
Blu-ray movies are cheaper than HD DVD {Engadget HD}
May 15th 2006 12:55AM Just checked--they're not combos. I can't explain the lower price for Blu-Ray titles. Although, the most expensive Blu-Ray discs are more expensive than the most expensive HD-DVD discs listed. Interestingly, a title announced for both formats, Chronos, is $0.50 more on HD-DVD.

May 14th 2006 10:36PM That's really surprising considering that the cost HD-DVD media is much cheaper. Are you sure you're not talking about movies that contain both HD-DVD and regular DVD movies on the same disc? They're significantly more expensive than HD-DVD-only movies.
E3: What resolution are PS3 games running? {Engadget HD}
May 12th 2006 12:08PM Hmmm... I'd like to say that's good news--but it does complicate things. Honestly, I'd rather not have to use my console as my primary player; but, with the estimated initial cost of Blu-Ray players @ $1000, I may make an exception. I'm not certain which format to hope comes out on top. Certainly, Blu-Ray seems to have all the technical advantages in their favor--but the cost of the media and players seems, at least at the moment, to be prohibitively expensive.
E3: What resolution are PS3 games running? {Engadget HD}
May 11th 2006 4:52PM Games, yes--movies, no. Can't do movies at 1080p.
This is a quote from the live Joystiq E3 coverage:
5:12 - PS3 will support HD output at 1080i definition ... a level of sophisticaiton and reality that has never been experienced." PSP interopability with PS3 via network, memory stick, USB. "BluRay is a next generation format supported by major studios. Five of the six major Holywood studios are supporting BluRay."
