  • Blu-ray and HD DVD: it's games and PCs stupid

    “Much has been made of the analogy between VHS (Toshiba) and Betamax (Sony) and the current war between HD DVD and Blu-ray. However, there is one big difference between now and then. Today we have PCs and games consoles in our homes, most of which also serve as DVD players.

    Dedicated DVD players these days cost a little more than a child's weekly allowance. Who needs them, when you have three or four DVD players sitting in your home on your games console, laptop and desktop PCs?

    This whole business about HD DVD players being cheaper at $499 than Blu-ray players at $1000 is utter nonsense. Within two years, regardless of which technology wins out, dedicated players of the new format will once again cost peanuts. Most people will not bother to get one because most people will already have a few players sitting in their other household devices.” source: 'DittoIt' 2006-04-23
