Blu-ray to win in 2008, HD DVD price cuts are "useless resistance"

Submitted by: GlassShadow @ 04:35 PM | Monday, January 28, 2008 | (url: http://www.engadg...)


Gartner, the fat lady of research firms, is singing HD DVD's swan song this morning.
"Gartner believes that Toshiba's price-cutting may prolong HD DVD's life a little, but the limited line-up of film titles will inflict fatal damage on the format." ... "Gartner expects that, by the end of 2008, Blu-ray will be the winning format in the consumer market, and the war will be over."

I've always said, Games are to Consoles, as Movies are to DVD Players. I had hope for HD DVD, low cost and (imo) better players, but alas, looks like Blu-Ray ftw.

i was hoping for HD-DVD but once i heard about blu-ray having possibilities of 1TB of space... i knew then blu-ray won. as much data as people use today. why settle for something with less space. Less space means less oportunity. Sorry, HD-DVD. :(
