Quote from: brummieRealeasing on both is going to put the prices up anyway.  

Competition will cause prices to rise?   ummm if you say so

productions cost will. so say i  

so if they can sell XYZ film to 50 million people on X format is it really going to drive up prices if they decide to also sell to 30 million people on Y format. - Umm no - stop being silly - films are sold at a massive mark up - the cost of producing the disk is/will be (once they get going) minimal compared to the retail price in shops. They want to make money to cover the many millions spent making the movie itself - so it makes sense to sell to a bigger market say 80 million people as opposed to just 50 million (by releasing in both formats) - they dont have to make as much per disk sold if they have a bigger market to sell to.

Having films released on both formats will create more competiton with the manufacturers thus bringing down the cost of the players.

It doesnt matter tbh... if I carry on the thread will get derailed as youll keep on quoting posts & inserting one line responses rather than actually taking part in any meaningful discussion.

So Ill just keep it simple - I think both formats could co-exist - there doesnt *have* to be one & this could be good for competition IMO as outlined earlier. If there is going to be a dominant format then IMO it would prob be blue ray.

HD players are currently averaging half the price of blu-ray.

Have to agree with Max here. HD-DVD will win out with such a huge head-start,
and Sony will continue its long-standing tradition of coming up with dud media formats.

*cough cough*

also

Quote from: Davewell well all have to wait - but I reckon we could re-visit this thread in 2 years time and both formats will still be around (plus someone will probably have released a dual format player by then too)

I still dont think HD-DVD necessarily has to die - and surprise surprise two years on both formats are still here

But LMAO at the peeps who thought HD DVD was the sure winner

Quite interesting to look back 2 years at this

exactly - were two years on and STILL noone is buying the players.

Dave - it is unfair to say "haha" at the looser and people who preferred the stuff to one then the other - the thing with this war was that both were good and had the very good qualities and another thing with this war was the consumer this time did not really get a chance to choose which they preferred it was the big companies who ended up deciding it
