Not so fast ... HD VMD V's Blu-Ray .. let the battle commence.

Vurb, now THIS is what a niche market will look like
It wouldnt have to grow very much to be just as big as BD is now. BD is a niche market. And BTW VMD is not a new idea, it was in the news back when HD DVD began. Its kinda funny watching BD fans tout how they are the king of the 1% disc market and no one else can succeed. :haha
 
No studios, no contender.
How did they get these? Don't you think it would be more constructive to actually view them and compare the PQ?
Movies on HD VMD HD VMD currently provides the most international titles on High Definition disc worldwide. These include films from around the world:

Interesting read .. but if price was the only factor ... HD-DVD would still be around.
HD DVD never exploited a price advantage when it came to the discs themselves. The BD BOGOss were always run at 1/2 price. I would love to see VMD HD in the stores and force BD to lower prices.

I dont see where anyone did that in this thread, I am just pointing out that they dont have the titles to be much more than a niche player. Blu-ray does (HD-DVD did)

Nice list you posted, but you realize that every "big movie" that I have heard is released is on that list, thats all they have.
 
Hey, Vurb: Let me hear you say it:

"There - are - no - Americans - at - Baghdad - airport!"

:haha
 

It's far from over!

One beellion dollahs!
