Re: A Blu-ray Civil War?

jhairforce.... BOTH hi-def disc formats have great A/V quality. The Blu-ray camp though has some current 'issues' with the BD+/BD-Java being implemented on select titles.

Also... CONTENT, CONTENT, CONTENT.

Content is POWER (Blu-ray has it).

Enough speculation for now.

They have content, true, but how would you feel if you couldn't actually access said content?

It's OK HD_Fanatic, you can just drop the "HD" from your name, since I heard upconverted DVD is good enough.

Meh. I still have DirecTV HD and 360 gaming. I also heard that profile 1.0 is 'good enough'.

So why do people like Blu-Ray so much when HD-DVD doesn't have these problems?

It's pretty simple to me, Sony out marketed them. The BR advertising was awesome, I mean you see the Sony adds "HD, It's in our DNA", and "Beyond HD", I mean we here in this forum, laugh at this crap, BUT to the average person who is unaware, that means something. They think they are getting something BETTER, when it is, in fact, the same. OR, as some of you guys say here, "not even up to par with HDDVD!!"

Then you also have the consumers going to places like BB, where BR is what they have ALWAYS been pushing.

If all you care about is watching the movie and "normal" special features then, yes, 1.0 is good enough. You will not get PIP or be able to use content that requires a lot of persistent memory. In other words, if you are used to the best special features of HD-DVD, then profile 1.0 is "not good enough."
