| Re: $150 HD-DVD Kickback = Blu-Ray The sole fact that Blu Ray was MPEG 2 for about a year means it was technologically inferior. HD DVD was VC1 /h264 from the beginning on every title. It was only until recently that blu ray producers got smart and started using VC1 transfers like HD DVD, because blu ray was getting poorly reviewed. Matter of fact if you look at the reviews many many movies are still getting poor quality reviews.
Most current transfers look the same. From the looks of retail sales many blu ray movies are more expensive than the hd dvd counterparts by as much as $5 in some cases. Coupled with players that are what $350 $400 at their cheapest. If sony wants to stay in the game they need to release cheap players. The day i see a $99 blu ray player is the day I will consider one. |
