HD-DVD Vs. Blu-ray, Once Again
While Sony and Toshiba are fighting over the next HD format, the consumers are losing, as always. Tek Jansen from GamesCentral compared several movies using the PS3 and Xbox 360 HD-DVD, and he concludes that HD-DVD is better. He writes,
When it comes to the format war, I would prefer the winner to be HD DVD, as I feel that they have more of an understanding of what consumers (and movie geeks) are looking for in a “next gen” format. I respect that Blu Ray looks and sounds great, but to me HD DVD feels more next gen with not only the great picture and sound, but also things like IME and U Control. Sony’s half assed attempt to match this with the shoddy Blu Wizard almost feels like a joke, and I am almost insulted as a hardcore movie fan.
In related news, TheInquirer’s Charlie Demerjian gives his ruthlessly honest and quite accurate opinion about the war, basically saying there’s always a winner in a format war, The Pirates.
