Which should I start purchasing, Blue Ray or HD DVD?

Answer 1

At The Present Time Neither Format Appears To Be "Winning" However, BLU-RAY Does Have Much More Support Than HD-DVD Including The Ability To Burn MUSIC,VIDEO OR DATA On Many Computer Systems And "Stand Alone" Devices. Recording On HD-DVD Will Be LIMITED At Best, Because Of "Copyright Infringement" Restrictions As The Format Is Aimed Almost Exclusively At Movies And Games.

Hope This Helps.

Answer 2

Blu-ray Disc is supported by six of the eight major movie studios (Disney, Fox, Lionsgate, MGM, Sony and Warner), which have announced that they will release movies in the Blu-ray Disc format. Universal Studios and Paramount are the only movie studios which have chosen to support the competing HD-DVD format exclusively for now. That means that if you want to watch movies in high definition from Universal Studios or Paramount, you have to buy a HD-DVD player. However, if you choose to buy a HD-DVD player instead of a Blu-ray player, you won't be able to play high definition movies from Disney (Buena Vista), Fox, Lionsgate, MGM and Sony, which have decided to support Blu-ray exclusively. Warner has decided to support both Blu-ray and HD-DVD. With the majority of the movie studios supporting Blu-ray, the massive support from consumer electronics companies, the fact that PlayStation 3 features a Blu-ray Disc drive that you can play Blu-ray movies with and that Blu-ray is the superior technology over HD-DVD. Blu-ray is the best choice.

I hope this is helpful and from what it looks like Blu-Ray is the way to go but only time will tell. You can find a Blu-Ray player for $450.

Answer 3

Blue Ray

Answer 4

I would wait for awhile. Your not sure which format is going to win the format war. You would hate to spend loads of cash on a new player just to find out a few month later it is obsolete because no more movies are being made for them. I am routing for Blueray because it has much more capacity and is technologically superior than HD. Sure HD is a LITTLE cheaper, not even by a whole lot, but blueray is better.

Answer 5

Just stick to DVD because Blu-ray is way too expensive at least a DVD is only $19.99. Or if you have a video IPod why don't you just buy movies from there? I'm thinking of buying either Ratatouille or The invisible from there?

Answer 6

hd dvd unless you have 1200 for blue ray

Answer 7

there probably wont be and "end" to the format "war". there will more than likely be a universal player in the near future. until then, if you dont want to spend the money,get an upconverting(hdmi) dvd player,and wait it out.
