Sorry all you HD-DVD people who ran out and bought an HD DVD player because they were cheap! Reuters reported today that Toshiba is pulling the plug on HD-DVD and has been defeated in the newest technology war against Blu-Ray High Definition discs.
Read the report here: http://ca.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idCAN1451010520080215
I work in consumer electronics - and I am always asked that question. "Which is better - who's going to win?" And I told them all - over and over and over - but foolish people always buy whats cheap rather than whats good or in Blu-Rays case - FANTASTIC!!
So here's the skinny folks: THEY BOTH GIVE A 1080P SIGNAL. IN TERMS OF PICTURE QUALITY THEY ARE THE SAME! BUT I TOLD PEOPLE AGAIN AND AGAIN - BLU-RAY WILL WIN FOR ONE REASON ONLY - THERE IS MORE MEDIA AVAILABLE TO BLU-RAY THAN TO HD DVD. Its the MEDIA which is available - not the picture quality. If 70% of the Hollywood studios have exclusively signed to release titles in Blu-Ray high def, there will be more titles available to blu-ray.
Heres what you SHOULD buy in high def 1080p flat panels: Pioneer, Panasonic, Hitachi, Sony Bravia, Samsung, Sharp Aquos - they've done the r+d needed to create a quality panel.
Heres what NOT to buy - for your own sake: LG, CITIZEN, DAYTECH, PRIMA, and any other name you've never heard of, assembled by child labor around the world.
You get what you pay for. If you buy shit (LG), you're going to get SHIT!! Spend the extra dollars and be happy with your purchase.
Fuck! sometimes I wish people would just LISTEN instead of going for a quick fix.
