In Reply to: RE: " ...you wanted the cheap player, casablanca and matrix..." - 1 partial fact out of 3 assertions... posted by Jazz Inmate on December 11, 2007 at 01:13:26
Tsk, tsk, next time you try selling your soul to SONY for the opportunity to be a champion 'blues' man make sure someone better qualified hasn't beat you to the crossroads! :O)>>> "...doesn't change my point one bit." <<<
So, is the point you're trying to raise still flaccid? That little 'Blu' pill you've swallowed, adopted and keep promoting should be providing better results to correct the underutilized 'capacity'! ;O}
>>> "Even if there were 10 hd dvd exclusives you wanted, or 20, you should have looked at the broader issues before adopting." <<<
Obviously you're in this 'game' for some other reason than as a movie fan! So, do you have anything of value to offer in a discussion of high definition movie appreciation besides supporting the Blu-ray agenda?
>>> "BTW, I can't remember what HD DVDs you own because I don't care and it doesn't affect my point about your reasons for adopting and your ongoing stance that capacity isn't important." <<<
Sorry, but the only point that stands out is the fact that you're acting as an unpaid SONY shill, and the less said about your stance the better! Heck, even a prostitute deserves to get paid for performing services above and beyond the call of duty.
>>> "Ah well...we all have our priorities." <<<
*Ahem* Yesiree, THAT we can clearly see. You really should hang up those pompoms even if your clients have a thing for cheer-leaders; it's rather unseemly regardless of the width of your stance! ;0)
Cheers (Rah! Rah! LOL!),

Guess you're just not a savvy consumer. You've stated that you don't care about audio in HT applications, either. Not much common ground with you. I own A/V gear from VAC, YBA, VPI, Electraglide, PS Audio, B&W and Tivo, too...it ain't like I live, breath and worship Sony, so your continued fixation on Sony points to problems with you, not me. More than a dozen companies belong to the BDA--it ain't just Sony.

There are folks a lot smarter than you or I who are working to make HD-DVD performance virtually indistinguishable from Blu-ray content wise; I'm confident that over time the goal of increasing available space can and will be achieved through improved disc mastering and ethernet upgrades without resorting to a third option (new hardware).
All that's needed to increase HD-DVD storage capacity are additional layers and extra gigabyte space will only be required on lengthier Director's cuts and Special Editions anyway. But don't stop grousing on my account, ...that echo emanating from your empty warehouse sounds kind of funky! :o)

And at least one fan-boy! ;O)

It amazes me that you have actually convinced yourself you are informed on these issues. There is nothing THEORETICAL about it. Blu-ray can hold 20 gigs more content than HD DVD. It is therefore a superior HD format.
If you're looking for a metaphor for "empty warehouse", try your skull.

Can hold and does hold are two different things. If in the end, the discs released have the same codecs, remastering and level of content and in an A/B comparison you can't tell a Blu-ray release from the same movie released on an HD-DVD, then the 20 gigs of 'warehouse' space doesn't mean zip; you can put that in your zip-file and smoke it!
The bottom line: capacity doesn't mean diddly if it isn't used. Now some films, like Harry Potter which is being released on both formats, are providing extra content in 1080P on Blu-ray as opposed to 480P on the HD-DVD discs. If those extras, such as making documentaries, are as important to you as the movie in higher definition then maybe you should consider Blu-ray, but I'll wager that the movies on both formats look exactly the same in side by side comparisons.

Actually, I'm looking for a metaphor for pompom carrying fanboy, but as much as your moniker keeps popping up around here I bet a Google search would just link your name to any search.
Have a good'un! ;^D

You have unwittingly hit upon another reason that hd dvd is bad news: the fact that studios releasing both formats are producing the content for HD DVD and simply porting it over to blu-ray. In other words, your camp is dumbing down content for everyone and screwing the consumer out of the best possible product. But hey, what do you care. You don't even think audio quality is important.
