Betamax v VHS – VHS won, but i still believe Betamax was better.
BD v HD-DVD – Personally I think BD is better due to the file storage capacities (and the fact I own a PS3, 360 owners have to pay £100/$200 to add HD-DVD on to it)

The only thing that worries me about the “War” between the two is the format names.
Ask the average joe in the street what HD-DVD stands for and they will probably hit the nail on the head with “High Definition DVD, ‘cos my tele says HD on it and the salesman told me it meant High Definition”!!!!!!

So what does BD stand for to the average “I haven’t got a clue” person on the street?????? – unfortunately…….. Nothing

Thankfully I am in a fairly good position with owning a PS3, if BD dies a death I can buy a HD-DVD player and still be able to watch both formats. However the people that have spent a fortune on the losing side will only have an expensive monitor stand.

Hey jakey, thats what you and some idiots thought about. Sony is a very profitable company and one of the strongest company in Earth. They have an array of products desired by the majority. Though Apple is leading them in the mp3 player business, they are still raking a lot of money from consumers. And in case you didn’t know, this year alone, their movie business is doing very, very well with strings of consecutive top charts opening. You do the research bud!

Apparently there was some Blu-ray promotional material released that depicted Universal films as being upcoming:
