Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?,


Blockbuster announced they will go exclusively Blu-ray. How much will this effect the format wars? Will this send HD DVD the way of the Beta? Could this be the Sony KO punch, or does BB really have that much clout? Sound the alarm or hit the snooze button?

That's the BBC series you're talking about, Shadorne?

Yes it is currently the best selling HD-DVD and Blu-ray title on Amazon.

I agree with Johnny...some stuff is excellent and some is mediocre and barely much better than DVD. A lot depends on the individual production quality.

I am watching on 1080p on a screen with full 1920 x 1080 pixels on the screen. Any HD TV with less than the exact and appropriate pixels (to match the source) will not quite give you the full monty.
I went for the Toshiba D2 from Costco. At $249 and 5 free HD DVDs its hard to pass up. HD and upscaling looks very good, plus the free HD DVDs, I can watch the format wars play out in relative comfort.
I bought the PS3 for Blueray
it's great!

If BestBuy favored one format that would probably settle it
they go with a dual player
i work at best buy
we sell everything although i am not a fan of the lg dual player i think you would be better off spending 500 on the sony s300 and 400 on the toshiba a20 lol and it would cost less and you can use the interactive menu on the hd dvd player. look for hd dvd end caps to pop up within the month though. best buy has not even started to lean to a side yet
