Why Blu-Ray and HD DVD Won't Catch On
Posted by Jeremy Charette in "ARTICLE" @ 12:00 PM
"...We're excited for the possibilities inherent in discs that can store as much as 100GB of data. But if the best Blu-Ray can offer is a great-looking trailer for a movie we don't want to see, and the best HD-DVD can offer is a lower pricepoint than Blu-Ray, then maybe both camps in this much-hyped format war should head back to boot camp."
This blog post on Popular Mechanics is about the author's experiences during a sneek peek at an upcoming Blu-Ray player, but I think the above quote says it all. I am appalled at the terrible movies studios are porting to HD. Why not release major blockbusters first, then fill in the library with cult movies and less popular titles? :roll:
