Dan F Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 For all you technology geeks like myself, here's the story http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7252172.stm It's become increasingly obvious in recent times that Blu-ray would eventually triumph - the amount of studios that were adopting the format (only 2 of the big studios fully went for HD - Universal and Paramount), coupled with the fact that you can fit more on Blu-ray
Cal Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 I know Blu-ray has it's advantages for some people... but what ever happened to just being able to watch a movie? I don't want to feel like "I'm experiencing the whole movie" - I just want to watch the damn thing. I'm sticking to DVD, thank you. Blu-ray is more-or-less the same, just clearer and twice the price.
Dan F Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 I'm sure people probably said the same about DVD's when comparing them to their VHS tapes I imagine in a couple of years when all the prices drop down etc. with the growing trend of HD TV's then it will probably be a pretty commonplace thing In the next couple of years I'm going to have to move up to HD, and already people are expecting the availability of Blu-ray when it comes to corporate videos etc. One of the main reasons I'm interested in it I guess
Formerly Known as FKAJ Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 Is it possible to watch regular DVDs on a Blu-Ray player? If not, then I hope that they don't stop making DVDs the way they did video cassettes.

LOL. That is so true. And i'm the same.
emmasi Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 I like DVDs. I'm still clinging to VHS in some cases. I actually still have audio cassette tapes in my possession... I'm not ready for Blue-ray...
NickyDj3000 Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 I don't even know why on earth we had the format war - Bluray was clearly fare superior from the start - anything with more space is always going to have victory in the digital world because it means more video and higher quality. And yes you can watch normal dvds in most bluray drives. Expect blueray players to hit the $200 mark really soon.
