Re: HD-DVD gets support
This is a somewhat more complicated format war than previous venues for one simple reason.. The playstation 3. The might of Sony will truly shine with the release of that console. If Sony sells 20million PS3 systems in north america alone (which is an easy senario to picture) then that is 20million people with a Blu-Ray player.
That combined with the fact that sony has Columbia Pictures and now MGM to draw from, they have a lot of muscle. I think Sony might be able to bring hollywood to it's knee's and actually win this format war.
And I do hope they win, the Blu-Ray format appears superior in everyway to the HD-DVD spec..
The problem with hollywood is they are not foreward thinking, never aware of future earnings, or future profit... far too concerned with making a quick buck today to please investors. Sad but true.
More Power to Sony and Blu-Ray... I want that ridiculous 50GB of storage for some truly awesome looking films all encoded in stellar H.264..
