All I want to know is which is the better option, Hi-Def or Blu-Ray? Im not a fan of Sony to be honest. But I do want the Bang for my Buck. Own a 360, don like the PS3. Give me some advice on why I should choose either or. Also, could the HD DVD really survive the battle, cuz Toshiba along with a few others are really going out on a limb to keep the HD DVD era alive. I personally would like to see Blu-Ray croak over and DIE!!! Can't respect NOR SUPPORT!, a company that would go to those limits just make a few bucks. If it aint Philips, Samsung, or ANYTHING Besides SONY, my stacks stay off deck!!! -DaBoss! Forget all dat DRMs and Vista BULLCRAP!!!

Additionally, Vista's DRM hurts those who legally purchase their movies, not those whom download it. Vista downgrades commercial HD content to make it harder to rip. If someone has already ripped a HD version for download, they will be able to watch it normally. This means you can get a higher quality product for free from the internet than will be sold in stores. The **AAs used MS's HD-DVD aspirations to force most innovative and consumer friendly features out of Vista while adding this additional bloat that use my computers resources without adding value. I genuinely don't see any advantage in Vista over XP. I didn't install windows ME and I won't install Vista. On a personal note, the eloquence of your argument makes me hopeful. The best counterargument you could make was to use pejoratives to impugn my character. I assume you are a shill trying to convince young readers to buy the corporate line without thinking about it for themselves. If this is the case, shame on you. However, it is entirely possible that you really are just an immature kid. @packin’ a vienna

That combined with a $25 HDDVD burner, and I'll be set. Any movies on blu ray exclusive I'll just rent. 3 layer hddvd blanks have more than enough capacity for blu ray disc. And with HD dvd support gone with the death of the format, so will be the DRM updates that you're forced to download. Win win situation for the consumer if you ask me. i’m waiting for the HD DVD fire sale. $5 HDDVD’s and $20 HD DVD players in the bargain basement bin.

Any die-hard film buff would have to purchase 2 players (or the new one that supports both, which costs close to a thousand bucks) in order to watch all available movies. With a universal format like DVD and VHS, this is never an issue. It wasn't even an issue during the VHS/Betamax war. People could choose one format or the other, and watch any movie that was available at the time, with no strings attached (until Betamax died out).
