BLU RAY BUY-A-THON!!!!

The cheapest blu-ray player out there is a PS3. Im not going to waste that much money. Although Blu-ray is better than HDDVD
 
when you look at most of the names for our technologies, it is normally an abreviation. like how the Beta Max lost to the VHS, and the CD, and DVD. the HD DVD kind of has it won already. if only they had the same data storage.
 
ok maybe im wrong, i read an article that was saying hd dvd is way better for the consumer, and that blu ray is way better for studios
 
here is a nice list that is easy to understand

If it’s so uneducated, how about you give me details on why

I should support an overly expensive product so that the owners of blue ray

players don’t get fucked over when that technology dies. Get off your high

horse it the internet.
