Interesting look at the upcoming next generation DVD format war. And just for Mora, it also includes several digs at the failure of SACD and DVD-Audio, including why they were crappy formats to begin with.

Re: 10 Reasons Why HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Have Already Failed
Great. I hate new formats anyways. Every time a new format comes out, even if it has promise, I get unreasonably angry.

Xeno showed me this. I think it's pretty valid...I mean, it's just not enough of a leap for people to care.Comment

Re: 10 Reasons Why HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Have Already Failed
I could care less about the new formats. They're not going to make movie-watching any more interesting than the usual DVD, and the only area where they could make a difference is with game consoles, where the extra memory is needed to store all the memory-consuming high-poly graphics, high-resoultion textures, and hopefully high-quality sound. And in Nintendo's and Sony's case, the extra memory needed in order to recognize controller movements. Plus it means less of a necessity to use multi-disc games; it sorta takes away some of the excitement of the awesome almost-to-the-end-like events when you know you're not on the last disc. Other than that, I'm fine with my basic DVDs, and have no problems that TV series and extras are put on multiple DVDs."What if like...there was an exact copy of you somewhere, except they're the opposite gender, like you guys could literally have a freaky friday moment and nothing would change. Imagine the best friendship that could be found there."Comment

I don't know why you thought this would rile me up considering it touches on pretty much every point I ever made to you.

Re: 10 Reasons Why HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Have Already Failed
Really these new discs are nothing more than more storage space (except for Blu-Ray which actually has a tougher disc bottom making it more resistant to scratched). So while these will be helpful for tasks such as data backup, video game production (though really I don't think this will be helpful to the industry, if you think all games are the same now, wait till developers and publishers have to fill a whole Blu-Ray disc full of content in order for gamers to feel satisfied [well at least for the publisher to feel like their ahead of the technology game], so much money will be thrown at these that they better have an almost 100% chance of success, meaning they will milk old formulas for all they're worth and then some), and general storage. So while I look foward to these to be able to back-up about 1/10 to 1/5 of my current data on my computer, and put whole shows I've recorded on one disc instead of just a whole season (13 epsidoes), I don't think you'll notice a much bigger difference in 8Mb/s MPEG2, and maybe 16MB/s MPEG2. Though Blu-Ray will also allow developers to add Java content to thier movies to have truly interactive movies while saving space and dev time possibly, this once again will not be a big boost to the consumer who is just looking to watch the movie and maybe the extra scenes. So while I may look foward to a Blu-Ray RW drive for my computer, I really don't care about a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD player, since I don't even have a DVD player since I own a computer with video out, and a PS2.Last edited by thetruecoolness; 06-23-2006, 04:22 PM.Comment

The article basically expounds what I've been saying all along. I've had several people think I'm stupid for explaining that the probably either new format takes off was extremely low.Comment

Re: 10 Reasons Why HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Have Already Failed
This article has a few points, but it doesn't hit what I like about it.
I can store my whole hard drive on THREE DISCS. All of my hard drives on FIVE DISCS. I can fit ALMOST 50 OF MY CURRENT GAMES ON THESE DISCS. I can fit about THIRTY PS2 GAMES ON ONE DISC.
That's what I care about.
Thank you for your time.
