Warner Bros. Pictures will go Blu-ray exclusive

[Torn Rose]

I disagree that this thread is "Chit chat".

I posted this in the “Gen Business” due to the fact that the last "war" of this kind was Beta vs VHS and that was won when Sony, who owned the Beta format would not allow porn on Beta just as they will not allow porn on Blu Ray and Beta soon faded away. Now a huge company took the side of Blu Ray so this new war could very well effect our business’s in the future, so how could this not be a business related thread?

My second post in regards to my HD DVD player while true, has nothing to do with my comment of “this is bad” but more to do with Doc Holly’s post.

Samsung announced today that they are coming out the beginning of May 2008 with a dual format player currently priced at 599.00.

Also at one of the other press conferences .. I think it was Phillips.. the buy talking -- without going to look -- said that Target is going exclusively Blu-Ray.. BUT I really cannot see Target (or any other store) pulling off major portions of their products and shipping them back.

When I moved the thread, I had no idea about the porn DVD angle on this.

I can sorta see your point, but we're an adult internet board, not an adult video board which is why I move this. There's not a lot of webmasters here that sell DVD's. For the most part, we sell access to online sites & unless I'm missing something, this does not effect websites that sell memberships to view online videos.

So that we don't get off topic, you can yell at me on ICQ if you wish

Torn, I was always under the impression that Betamax lost the war because they were always a step behind VHS. And when the need or a 2 hour tape came around, Sony failed. And as of right now, there are porn titles on Blu Ray.

I agree on the "war" being moot over the next few years. IPTV with uplink to the HDTV is the way to go.
