a454elk said:1) How long before the 1080i resolution threshold goes up so our tv's we just bought get outdated?
2) Blue Ray or HD DVD, which will win out and why?
We just got HD on our Dish and I love it but I began to think about the 1080i threshold. What will the future hold? I'm in the market for the HD DVD but not sure which one to get. I need some input!
one has an "i", one has a "p"a454elk said:1080i and 1080p, what is the difference with those??
P0PWAR said:I have a feeling HD DVD will win, althought it has less storage space, it costs less. And thats all electronic illitirite people are concerned about.
a454elk said:I read that link that Twinkie posted and got a headache. Alot of info but it explained it pretty well. Is the Sharp Aquos I have a p or i? I thought it was an i, not sure though. I have a friend that wants to sell his HD player because he said Disney will be on Blue Ray only. Is that a fact?
ZOMBIE666 said:Thing i dont understand with blu-ray and sony is why the players are still so expensive. To begin with it was claimed the price was due to the complexity of manufacturing and at the time, shortage of the nichia 405nm "blu ray" laser diode. The shortage has been over for many months now. Sony still hasnt dropped the prices to reflect that. Players still start at around 400 correct? at that price no wonder its not selling.
Petey said:I dont know why they choose blue rays over HD Dvd's, but i heard this info from a local block buster store.
Since late 2006, the movie rental company has offered both formats at 250 stores across the country. Both formats were given equal billing, but Blockbuster soon realized that Blu-ray outsold its competitor by 70%.
Blockbuster will continue to rent the HD DVD titles it already offers and may expand its HD DVD inventory in the future but, for now, the company has placed all its chips on Blu-ray.
“We intend to meet the demands of our customers and based on the trends we’re seeing, we’re expanding our Blu-ray inventory to ensure our stories reflect the right level of products,” Blockbuster executive, Matthew Smith, said Monday.
