Disney says Blu-Ray has the best chance to win. Primary Blu-Ray backer Sony says it's a stalemate.
Sony CEO sees 'stalemate' in disc fight - Yahoo! News
Can anyone say momentum shift?
(Seriously, Blu-Ray can shift the momentum back into their court by lowering the friggin' player prices!)
The BDP 300 is $349 which aint far off the A30(i think the number is correct). I think you'll see some more BD drops before years end.
BD has long thought they would win on merit while HDDVD has been throwing the punches so I think the BDA is getting the gist this approach
is not working.
I supported them strongly for 7 mo's, but as they continued to let opportunities to make an attack slide by, I lost interest. I dont own stock in Sony or Toshiba so when the A2's went to $98 it was a no brainer. This way 95% of all Netflix rentals are HD now.
If one STORAGE format has to die(not talking movies) Id prefer it be HDDVD just because I like BD as a storage format better.
That being said, both are likely to flourish and a year from now combo players and burners will be affordable so it wont matter who supports who.
