Question

Is HD DVD dead now? After Netflixs and Best Buy Announce they will got exclusive to Blu-ray?

Answer 1

Blu ray won

Answer 2

Pretty much, Blu-ray has the potential to be a better disc format.  You can only view so much "HD" quality, and a HD DVD will look the same as blu-ray on most modern HD tv sets, but Blu-ray has greater capacity, and the option to hold an even higher definition shuold there ever be a TV that can reproduce such an image...and then whether or not your eye can even sense any improvement over modern HD is doubtful.

Look at BETA and VHS tapes back in the 80's.  VHS format won because of the p**n industry.  p**n producers chose to market their stuff on VHS tapes, so VHS became the standard.  Nothing WRONG with BETA, just didn't win the battle.  

Nowadays movie production is using more and more of Sony's Blu-ray becasue of its potential, and now Nextflix is following suit.  The rest of the owrld is next.....

Answer 3

a scam by sony? are you retarded...? or maybe just technologically incompetent? That is the dumbest thing i have ever heard. As far as I am concerned HD DVD has been dead for awhile and this whole netflix ordeal is just another nail in the coffin. As far as capabilities and technology blu ray is far and away superior to hd-dvd. There is more space for information on a blu ray disc than motion picture companies know what to do with and the discs are also incredibly difficult to make in regards to illegal movie p****y. Its over, the sooner Universal and Paramount bite the bullet and switch over to blu ray the happier me and alot of other people will be.

Answer 4

I would say so.  Warner Bros. will only produce and distribute in Blu-Ray come May, so it's likely that HD-DVD is out the door unless someone big can help it along.  However, don't go running to buy that Blu-Ray player since the Blu-Ray standard is still evolving... Your best bet is with a Sony Playstation 3 since it's the most likely player to be fully upgradeable to any new Blu-Ray versions, etc.

Answer 5

No, I dont think so.

It was originally called HD - High Definition.

You have HD - High Definition TV's/.

You dont have Blue-Ray this or that...

Its just a scam by Sony I think tryin to get more money by saying their stuff is best
